I could hear Celeste breathing in her room, but I didn't disturb her. She wasn't sleeping as much as I was, but she was still sleeping more than normal. I couldn't blame her. Until we were finally granted an audience with the lamia queen there wasn't anything for her to do other than sit around and take care of Ash and Kristin. Boredom had started setting in a long time ago, but it was more than that. Having time to think was helping me start to put some of my demons to rest, which was something that was long overdue. All of that time seemed to be having the opposite effect for Celeste. There had been a couple of times recently where I'd been woken up by screams and assumed it was Kristin again before realizing it was Celeste. I hadn't said anything to her about it yet. She didn't seem like the type to welcome prying questions and I didn't want to trigger any kind of confrontation between us. Things had been going well enough ever since she'd helped me out that first night and I didn't want to rock the boat.
