"'s'a pet," she mumbled into her pillow. "Like a… a cat. With hands. Sneaky sneaky." She hugged the pillow tighter, then tried to reach out with a limp arm to give a reassuring pat. Comforting, as if her arm was something requiring comfort and not simply an arm. She could not tell what she was actually patting, and it was probably another pillow.
She was drifting in and out of sleep, though not true sleep. Not the sort of sleep her body needed if she was to wake up useful. She didn't dream, and couldn't, only moving to and from consciousness. It was merely a way of waiting out drunkenness without having to be aware for it, resting her body if not her mind. It was how she ended up sleeping about half the time, since that was how often she ended up passing out away from home. Usually at Ix's place, or one of Grilka's; every now and again Fate found her a nice spot. As far as she knew, only Grilka was aware of her physiological peculiarities, and it certainly wasn't because she'd told em.
This wasn't the first time at Rocket's place, but it was the first time her bed had seemed like a good idea.
"… good… Rocket," she said, waiting too long to respond but not realizing that there had been any time at all. "Best Rocket." This bed was a lot more comfortable than the couch. And also her own bed. Why hadn't she done this before? This was a great idea. Flawless.
