He glances over at Akira, expression soft and concerned. ]
if i had my powers i could nudge you into a deep sleep and im no child of morpheus but i have done some dreamwalking and could try giving you good dreams
not really i just haven't had anyone i wanted to celebrate them with nothing puts a damper on christmas like spending it in the underworld with my stepmother and her mom plus you know all the dead people and dads terrible taste in decorations
but i guess if we survive the end of the world it would be nice to spend holidays with my half sister

[He's... allowing his full weight to rest on Nico, now.]
"Minions" makes your dad sound like a supervillain

A place where I can rest
[Pause...]
It'd be nice not to worry or stress for awhile
no subject
He glances over at Akira, expression soft and concerned. ]
