(Oh alright!)
Nik shifted faintly, but didn't yet awaken. He looked more relaxed in sleep, less anxious and worried.
You'll See Just How Crazy I Can Be (rp with Icefire, feel free to stalk!)

Derlik smiled, glad Nik looked better. Even if it was temporary. He stood, gently nudging Nik.
Nik made a faint noise of annoyance at the nudge, but didn't open his eyes or really wake up.
group
Derlik chuckled faintly, running his fingers through Nik's hair.
"It's time to wake up. It's already late in the morning."
Nik opened his eyes, flinching back from the touch.
group
Derlik sighed gently.
"You're okay," he said softly, pulling his hand away.
Nik took in a slow breath, rolling to look up at the sky.
group
The sky was mostly clear, the sun hanging lazily in the sky. It was late in the morning, like Derlik said. Derlik hummed again.
"Hungry?"
Nik shrugged a little. "I guess…"
group
Derlik nodded, looking up at the sky too.
"Anything in particular you like to eat?"
He shrugged again. "Not really."
group
"Alright then. Pancakes sound good?" Derlik glanced down at Nik.
He nodded a little. "Yeah, sure."
group
Derlik hummed.
"I'm thinking about going to a place in town that has good pancakes. Want to come?" It wasn't really an option, but he wanted Nik to feel like he did.
He shrugged his shoulders. "It's not like I have a choice."
group
Derlik sighed a bit, but didn't argue. He was right, after all.
"Then let's go."
Nik glanced over at Smoke, who was still sleeping. "What about Smoke?"
group
"Well, people aren't really used to people with cat ears…" Derlik thought a moment. He reached out, gently touching Smoke's cheek and shrinking him like the day before.
"We'll make sure he eats there too." He hummed, offering a hand to Nik.
Nik nodded a little, reaching out to take Derlik's hand cautiously.
group
Derlik helped Nik up, doing his very best to be nice.
"Ready?"
Nik nodded, pulling his hand back once he was standing.
group
Derlik put his hands in his pockets, turning to walk away.
Nik followed quietly.
group
"Did you sleep well?" Derlik asked, glancing back at Nik.
Nik shrugged his shoulders. "I guess so."
group
Derlik let out a sigh.
"Alright then."
Nik put his hands in his pockets silently.
group
Derlik led Nik through the woods, humming a bit as they left them into a small town.
Nik followed quietly, a few curls falling into his face as he walked.
group
Derlik led Nik to a smaller breakfast place, stepping in.
"Hey, doll~!" he called out, grinning at the owner. He took a seat at a booth, motioning for Nik to join him.
