Yandela smiles wryly. "I was planning on it, but I'd rather stay up until I know for a fact that I can sleep without either being slaughtered, or having plans made without me, thanks."

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "And this... Slaughtering, business... Who are you referring to that would do that? Him?" She points to Mars.

"Well... Yes." She grins tiredly. "He's a cold-blooded murderer, you know. I once caught him red handed."

"Huh. I'll be sure to keep that in mind..." The girl eyes the boy, but gives another warm smile.

Yandela glances nervously at Mars, realizing this may not be the best person to joke around with about such topics. Her gaze returns to Rachel. "I'm joking."

"...Okay. So who are you referring to then?" She was generally confused. Back on Helden, everything was so serious... Damn, had she lost the ability to realise what's a joke or not?!

The Mage shrugs. "No offense, but I don't trust anyone I've just met. Slaughter might have been an exaggeration, but I've seen people do worse for less than merely sleeping."

Yandela grins. "For what it's worth, though, I'm awfully glas to no longer be the only girl caught up in this."

"Heh... I'm just glad I'm not stuck in that hellhole anymore, I guess.. Seriously, living in a world where pretty much anyone can become a blood-thirsty creature out to kill everyone is horrible..."

He had kept silent for most of this. Talking about the wrongness of slaughtering people and destroying lives would have just made him a hypocrite, and also add to the tally of how many sins he has committed.

Yandela smiles wryly. "Tell me about it. And if they don't kill each other, it's only because one has power over the other."

"Haha... Yeah..." Rae sighed and looked over at the young boy sleeping, "it's kill or be killed, I guess..."

(* IN THIS WORLD... IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED!)

(I didn't mean to make a reference to Undertale Be gone, Goat-Jesus-Flower!!)

BECAUSE WE'RE IGNORING FLOWERS BEING IN UNIVERSES THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN, Yandela frowns, recalling her encounter with Fayal. "...yeah. Usually."

"But then... You're up against family and friends, and... Well... I don't enjoy the state of our Reality is in..." The girl continued to look at the young boy, frowning. "...But it's worse when you watch friends hurt family, huh..?"

"...can't say I would know." Yandela lays against the ground, staring up at the sky to hide her darkened gaze. "Any family I ever had died and I killed my only friend."

"Hah... Lucky... If you've got nobody to care for, how can you be hurt in the first place? Me, I've got a daughter that risks her life everyday to help people that don't even care for her... And that's my family, by blood, anyway."

"I'd say, personally, that I was hurting every day because I was so alone," Yandela murmurs, struggling to stay awake. Serious topics require serious awareness. Seriously.

"... Alone, you say..? Ah, guess I never thought of that... Huh." Rae sat down, looking up at the sky. One, two, three.. Five moons..? Seriously?

Silence lapsed as the conversation fell flat. Yandela struggled to hang on to consciousness, but her magic demanded she sleep off the sickness and exhaustion. She began to like the idea of sleeping more and more. Surely she would wake up if something happened, yeah? And surely the others wouldn't go on a murderous rampage. Scol had no motive and it wouldn't benefit him and Rachel... Chalk it up to bonding over loneliness and go to sleep already, Yandela. Geez.

Who the hell even narrates these things...?
