Sleepless

[grantuseyes]

If anyone has been in the library for the past week or two, they've surely spotted the caged scholar there. Sometimes with armloads of books, sometimes absorbed in reading one or writing notes. And sometimes uncomfortably asleep in armchairs, across tables or even on the floor, always looking like he's just gone and passed out where he sat or stood. He's usually awake more often than asleep, though, regardless of the hour.

With that in mind, it might not be surprising with Micolash finding his way to the plaza once more, he looks worse than usual. The rings around his eyes are darker, his clothing more rumpled, and if you get too close...he smells. The distinct scent of someone who hasn't changed or washed in far too long. Distinctly reminiscent of a homeless man, honestly.

Micolash looks distressed, twisting his thin fingers and often looking askance with nervous, sleepy eyes.

"Can someone," he starts, his usual droning speech tinged with faint annoyance, "kindly explain why I am prone to losing consciousness since coming to this Dream? It's terribly inconvenient."
