She really hadn't planned on falling asleep. She'd only wanted to take advantage of the quiet time on the Ark for once, everyone either napping or elsewhere. Usually she'd be curled up with a book in the library by now, caught up in adventures of another day and age where she could be whatever or whomever she wanted to be. But the ropes had looked so inviting and when she curled up on them, they'd been warm from the sun and she felt safe nestled away behind the crates so she'd closed her eyes, meaning only to soak in the sun and then found herself hopelessly drifting away into dreams. She didn't know how long she'd been out when she felt an odd tickling sensation on her face. Unable to resist, she rubbed her hand down her face, wiping at her eyes and mouth before sighing and rolling onto her side, eager to continue her dreams.
But it was not to be. Soon enough, she felt the tickling sensation again. Groaning reluctantly, she rubbed at her face again more aggressively this time. By the third time though, she was certain that she'd heard someone calling her name and that irritating tickling sensation was back. Stretching her arms out, she found herself rapidly blinking the sleep away, looking up into none other than Tobias' face. He seemed awfully focused on something, which was odd for him unless he was trying to figure something out. But why was he leaning over her? She tilted her head, the corners of her lips tugging into a wry smirk as he called out his nickname for her. Was that the voice she'd heard earlier? Probably. He grinned, seemingly happy with himself but she was aware something was up as he fumbled to put something behind his back. Hmm.
He leaned back, trying his best to look innocent but that wasn't a natural look at all for him. Then he said that he was watching her sleep. "Oh yeah? What else you been doing?" She lifted a brow daringly as she asked, meeting his gaze expectantly as she waited to see how long she'd need to draw this out before she found out what he was hiding.
