Chapter 9
The three skeletons ate their dinner and spent the rest of the night enjoying each others company, all-in-all, the sleep over was a success, they got their minds off the ordeal. Well, Ink not so much, any time he sat down his 'tail' -as Blue kept calling it- was uncomfortable, because he was sitting on the irregularly large tail bone, leading to him having to lay down in order to be comfortable. Although despite Ink's best efforts to hide his discomfort the two skeletons noticed, and inwardly told themselves that Ink deserved a break from the drama of the days developments, and that they'd all talk about it together tomorrow. So, with Blue and Dreams revelation at Ink's discomfort they spent most of the night either talking, playing board games, or watching movies with Ink laying on his stomach, and Blue and Dream sitting on recliners.
The small team of three sat at the dining room table all eating their breakfasts of omelettes with light casual conversation, it seemed that they all had silently agreed to move onto the heavier conversation later.
After breakfast they started talking about the topic Ink had been fearing. Ink dreaded having to have this conversation, he didn't like it when his friends got all serious, he prefered to have entertaining, light hearted conversations that usually led to fun and or silly escapades, but Ink new this was one conversation that they needed to have. So, Ink tried to focus and answer their questions as best as he could.
"Have you been at all achy like how you were earlier yesterday?" Blue started. Ink was pretty glad that they were going to ease into the dreaded conversation, rather than starting with the meat of the matter.
"Not since I woke up in the bath." Ink said after a moment of thought.
"Perhaps that... episode, had something to do with how achy you were." Dream hypothesised, resting his skull in his hand.
"You might be right, Dream. So you only started to ache yesterday morning right?" Blue questioned turning his attention from Dream to Ink.
"I don't remember, I think so?" Ink said unsurely, "I thought that maybe I just had a fight with Error and didn't heal myself properly."
"But you didn't have any injuries when I checked, and your old injuries seem to be healed just fine." Dream said tapering off in thought, gazeing down at the light colored pine wood of the table.
"You checked my old injuries while check for any new ones?" Ink said surprised, Dream had checked him over so quickly, so to hear that he'd checked for new wounds and looked over his older ones in that short time was impressive. Ink found something new to respect Dream for; his quick and keen eyelights when looking at injuries.
"Yes of course I did, I also thought of the possability of inproperly healed wounds. Though it is as I said, you have no new wounds nor improperly healed ones." Dream stated, almost proudly seeing Inks impressed face. Dream, realising something looked over to Blue, who seemed to be in his own world at the moment staring at the wall opposite of him, thinking.
"Are you alright Blue?" Ink questioned after he saw Blue in deep thought.
"I'm fine just trying to remember something." Blue stated, his form was tense and his bone brows were knit together in thought. The dining room turned silent as Ink and Dream anxiously waited for Blue to disclose what he was trying to remember. "Say, Dream do you remember about just how long Ink's tail bone was yesterday?" Blue said finaly letting his gaze leave the wall he'd been staring at, and to instead look Dream seriously in the eyelights.
