He woke up, but the pleasure that enveloped his body was deep.
He wanted to close them again.

He glanced around the room.

Suddenly, another pang of uncertainty struck his heart.
Something was wrong.
Yet his mind relaxed before he felt the need to investigate further.
"Mmm… You woke up?" Senior Xanarn murmured sleepily.
"Did I wake you up…?"

She opened her eyes, staring straight at him. "Did you have a nightmare?"
