Your school may certainly have contributed. But I think it's something you're born with, the same as how some people are what one'd refer to in polite company as "morning people" and less so as "impossible to deal with."

[those strange sorts that can be cheery and energized in the morning with no motivation at all. a behavior both fascinating and utterly alien to her.]

But if it's merely habit keeping you awake, then so be it. I'm only sorry I can't join you in unveiling the mysteries of the dark hours.

[or whatever else one does at 3 AM.]

[daemonized]

["Impossible to deal with". Well. She's obviously not much of a morning person, and Ardyn makes a mental note of this -- idle information to be filed away for later, for no real reason other than he's interested in knowing.]

And why can't you? You should sometime. Three in the morning is best reserved for self-reflection and other things you can't be bothered with in the daylight. There's something utterly isolating, yet calming, about the dead of night.

[Or ungodly morning.]

[erythristic]

Things you can't be bothered with in daylight? I'd argue that there are spaces between moments in the day that serve the same purpose. Between one task and the next, five minutes of time that become a way to touch on what lurks beneath.

[the point in time when you're savoring your coffee and don't feel quite so weighed down, going to open a window for fresh air, when getting home and being able to sink in the comfort of the couch. existing, and then briefly glimpsing thoughts that come to the surface before sinking back under.]

And yet. I'll be the first in admitting my fault in never paying enough attention to the night to see if there truly is such a difference to be found in it. If I end up feeling like being isolated or calm, I might try it, but I've always thought the night was best for dreaming.

[metaphorically and literally.]

[daemonized]

Five minutes, only to have that peace shattered by the buzzing of your phone, or someone coming into your office needing something, or any number of other things that only the daylight will provide a person with.

[Moments of serenity throughout the day are all well and good, but only provide disappointment when unduly interrupted. That much was inevitable.]

Regardless, I won’t be one to talk you out of getting a good night’s rest. I’m just an anomaly where sleep is concerned — so please, continue your dreaming as you like.

[erythristic]

See, but now I must end up wide awake in the middle of the night at a point, if only to see, lost in contemplation and whatever else should take the the place of the dreams I like. So sorry, I positively have to be contrary.

[if she could make it that far one night without falling asleep. but if she got woken up in the night again, then it would be definitely doable. all the thoughts are idle, ridiculous really, but it isn't like Ardyn didn't already know about her ridiculous tendencies, superhero teamup and all.]

[daemonized]

[Don't joke about things, because Ardyn will joke(??) in return about making this happen. See below:]

Then I'll be sure to text you multiple times at 3 AM again, just to make sure you're awake and ready to be contrary. Does that sound agreeable to you?

[erythristic]

[oh, but she's not one to back down from such a challenge, even if it is a joke. it's more entertaining to continue such a thing.]

Perfectly so. I'll be waiting for such times to occur.

[this will backfire into her sleep schedule, but the sacrifices one makes to sustain the proper scene...it can't be that bad.]

[daemonized]

[How entertaining do you think it'll actually be, once he texts you multiple times in the dead of night just to see this through, Grell?]

Then I won't forget.

[And Ardyn Izunia certainly doesn't forget.]
