Davin nodded a little bit, and headed to the back, grabbing some blankets and pillows and curling up to go to sleep. He let out a slow breath, eyes drifting shut.

Tohru let out a shaky sigh. Davin was in a vulnerable situation right now. It would be so easy to just turn him in and take the money, but it felt so wrong to do so. He hovered his hands over the controls, contemplating a change in course, but eventually decided against it.
After making sure the ship was on autopilot, Tohru leaned back in his seat, looking out the window. He began to nod off.
Davin fell asleep, curled in the back. He was on his back, the blankets tangled around his body, his head turned slightly to one side, his horns shining faintly in the light. His tail was curled around his feet.

Tohru slept restlessly, sleeping for a few minutes then waking up. About half an hour in, he jolted awake, suddenly feeling panicked. He sat upright, panting and shaking. Tohru wiped some sweat from his brow and hunched over, trying to sort through everything he was thinking.
Davin was still asleep, curled up with his tail twined around his legs. His hair had fanned out, and was all over his face too. He let out a slow sigh in his sleep.
group
Tohru got up to walk to the back and grab a blanket, or anything comfortable, really. His nerves were really getting to him.
He carefully tiptoed through the back of the ship, careful not to disturb Davin. Tohru found his gaze settling on Davin for a minute before he grabbed what he needed.
Davin rolled over onto his side, knees bending a little bit and a soft smile tugging at his lips. In his sleep, he looked younger, less stressed and alone than he did awake.
group
Tohru frowned a bit as he looked at Davin again. At least he seemed comfortable. Tohru resigned himself to laying down in the back where there was room. It was a bit reassuring to not be alone for once. He'd always traveled alone.
Davin's tail uncurled from his legs, brushing lightly against Tohru for a moment. He didn't awaken, that soft smile still tugging at his lips.
group
Tohru sighed softly at the accidental touch. It was definitely reassuring, but also made him a bit regretful. What if they had been able to actually spend time together that night on friendly terms instead of as a bounty hunter and a Kaythani? Tohru silently wondered if they ever would have even met. Maybe it was better this way.
Davin's tail curled back around his feet again, and the Kaythani shifted in his sleep, one arm shifting to hug the blanket tighter to his body.
group
After fighting sleep for a while and watching Davin sleep, Tohru felt himself slipping into a heavy sleep. He had barely slept over the last two days, and it was catching up to him quickly. Even his worries right now didn't have the power to keep him awake any longer.
Tohru drifted off, slumped against the back wall, his blanket halfway wrapped around him.
Davin slept through the night in a rather undisturbed sleep. When he awoke, though, that little smile vanished as he sat up, shoulders sagging. He had dreamed of home again. Of his home planet, before it was destroyed. He let out a slow breath, rubbing his face with his hands.
group
Tohru was still asleep when Davin got up. He had slept restlessly, but was still out, though he occasionally stirred. His hair, now only halfway in its bun, hung from his head tangled and disheveled.
Davin glanced at Tohru, taking a deep breath and standing up. "Damn." He juttered, stretching and shaking his head a little bit.
group
Upon the sound of Davin’s voice, Tohru startled awake. He took a minute to go over everything that happened in his head and buried himself further into the blankets. It was a lot.
Davin looked over, and sighed. He tied his hair back, heading to the cockpit to check how close they were to their destination.
group
When Tohru finally sat up, he tugged at the hair tie caught in his bun and slipped it over his wrist once it came loose. He moved back to the front, still holding his blanket.
“Sleep alright?” he murmured.
Davin nodded a little bit, not saying that it wasn't the sleep that bothered him usually, it was the waking up. It was waking up and realizing that whatever dreams he had had were fake, were just memories. Weren't real. That his family was dead and always would be. That he would never, ever find a mate.

“Well, at least one of us has to be well-rested,” Tohru sighed, plopping back down in his seat and strapping in. He gazed over to the map.
“We’re not so far though.”
He let out a faint laugh, nodding. "Yeah." he agreed. He ran his hands through his hair, sighing softly. "Once we get there…what do you want to do?" he asked.
group
“I don’t know. We need to look for a place to stay eventually, but until that’s figured out, we can sleep in my ship,” Tohru replied, “Did you have anything in mind?”
"Alright. And no, I've…never been here before." he replied, shaking his head. He looked at the map again, sighing softly.
group
“Me neither. We may have to wing it,” Tohru muttered, “That’s okay though, I guess.”
He pressed a button on the board.
Davin nodded a little bit. "We'll be fine, so long as nobody sees me." he flicked his tail slightly. "Or at least, as long as no one sees the horns and tail."
group
"Yeah, I'll help as well as I can to make sure you keep covered up," Tohru promised.
Their destination was growing closer, now within their field of vision.
"I'd strap in if you haven't already," he advised.
Davin nodded, sitting down and strapping in. "Thanks." he replied, running a hand over his horns and wishing he could be free to walk around like anyone else, without disguises keeping everything that could give him away hidden.
group
Tohru shifted the gear and speed of the ship to prepare for entering the planet’s atmosphere. Although exhausted, he was extremely focused on the task ahead of him.
Davin was quiet, watching as they entered the atmosphere, spiraling down towards land. He didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.
group
Tohru pulled down to the ground. The landing was mostly smooth. Once finished, he turned off the engine and got out of his seat, getting together his things in the back and putting his physical appearance together.
