Another three days passed and Elara was still in pain however it was manageable pain. She wasn't ready to go back to her normal everyday duties since her injury was nearly fatal. She had to manage her own scar daily, replacing the bandages around her abdomen daily and taking her pain meds which always made her sleepy. Some nights she wouldn't sleep because of strange reoccurring nightmares.

Zarkon knew she wasn't sleeping like she normally should but didn't know how to help her. Sometimes you would stay awake with her until she fell asleep only to wake up a mere two hours later. Right now Elara was in bed after changing the bandages and didn't know what to do until Zarkon came to check on her whenever he could, in between duties, however now it was night time and he finally got the chance to rest the night. Once he got to the bedside, he knelt down on one knee to face her.

"How are you feeling bunny?" He asked, taking hold of one of her hands.

"I'm tired and sore. Nothing much has changed." She sighed tiredly.

"Have you taken your medicine?" He asked.

"Yes I have." She replied.

"Well just wait for the meds to kick in." Zarkon said.

"That's what I'm doing..." She said.

Zarkon them got himself ready for bed. Elara was still in pretty rough shape. Zarkon got in bed and the inner child began to come out of Elara.

"Can you get my pillow please?" She suddenly asked, carefully turning towards me.

"But you're laying on it right now?" Zarkon said on confusion.

"Not this one, the other one." She said.

"That one is stacked under the other pillow." Zarkon huffed.

Elara then gave him a specific look that said everything. He side and pulled her into a comforting snuggle.

"Thank you." She purred and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"You're too cute when you do this." Zarkon sighed, smiling down at her.

"Let me sleep." She chuckled.

"Alright. Goodnight bunny." He said, giving in immediately.

"Goodnight turtle man..."
