017 [Voice]

[It's rather late at night when the journal clicks on. Luke had waited until he had calmed down from the nightmare he had to make the post, and good thing, too. Otherwise it'd catch the tremor he surely had in his voice.

Instead, he merely sounds subdued, and maybe a little hesitant.]

Does anyone have any good stories to tell?

Or... any advice on how to get back to sleep? [Nothing he usually does is working right now.]

[Then have it every night anyway. >_> It's not like Nami follows that rule overly much.]

No problem.

...Raine can probably help you out with something better, if you need it.

[fabrecation]

The Professor? She knows about this kind of stuff too?

[As he speaks, he looks over the recipe Nami writes and gets some of the supplies down. The sweeter one looks like something he might like...]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She's the one who gave me that herbal mix in the first place.

...she's probably a good person to talk to about it, anyway.

[fabrecation]

... I'll ask her about it. Thanks.

[He's getting a kettle of water ready now. Let's hope that when it finishes, the piercing whistle won't wake up the entire neighborhood...]

Hey, Nami? Do you have trouble sleeping, too?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Or wake up Asch. Unless he's already awake and scowling at you somewhere, of course.]

Mm. Not as much as I used to, but there are still a few nights here and there.

[fabrecation]

[Knowing Asch, he probably is.]

Do you still drink tea for it, too?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

It works pretty well.

[fabrecation]

...

Don't you get tired of it? [Despite the fact that Luke willingly drinks tea, he... can't imagine having it every night.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Ah! No, I don't have it all the time. Just every now and then, when it's-- when it's really bad.

It is pretty bitter.
