 DajanaDajana softly smirked as Dante told her to get some sleep before lying down and facing away from her. She stayed so that he was in sight for her and slowly her eyes closed... Dajana looked around confused as she was standing in the battle arena once more, but confusion gave way to surprise and fear as her eyes widened at the sight of the wolf she had killed earlier standing alive right in front of her. His lips curled back in a cold smirk while he crouched down into an attack position. "No...no no no no! I killed you already!" She started with a scream, but it had died into a soft whimper. His smirk grew into a smile of cruel pleasure before he took a step towards her. She took a step back only to find herself against a wall before glancing about to see if there was any help...but the only other person there was the stupid pig this nation called a leader. She looked back at the wolf, shaking her head with tears starting to run down her cheeks. "Please... I don't want to do this again..." she softly cried, but he lunged towards her and she spun out of the way...And she flew out of the bed and onto the floor with a yelp and a loud thud. Dajana then proceeded to groan in pain from the protests her side was giving her as she slowly pushed herself back up onto her feet and glanced around to see if anyone happened to actually wake up with her little fiasco... "God, I hope no one heard anything I said in my dream..." she said softly under her breath as she wiped away the tears that had actually spilled down her cheeks. She wasn't sure if they were from her nightmare or from the throbbing pain in her side...

 Dante Dante slept soundly, only slightly turning every so often to enhance his comfort of sleep. That is, until he heard someone talking...which almost sounded familiar. Dante open his eyes slowly with a yawn he looked back as he expected to see someone awake and speaking but strangely that wasn't the case. As he heard the talking again he looked up to see Dajana was talking in her sleep, she was having on heck of a nightmare by the sounds of it. But though... it didn't last long, Dante's eye's going wide at the sight of her rolling off the bed, that just had to be one of the worst wake up call's he had ever seen. Rolling over to see if she was alright he notice a few tear drops hitting the floor, he wasn't much of a sympathetic type of guy but he couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Dajana." I don't think I would care so much for sleep talking but that fall must of been pretty nasty..." Dante decided to speak up to Dajana." You alright or was that a stupid question?"

DajanaDajana was standing still for a moment as she let her side calm down in its throbbing, but when she first heard a voice she jumped slightly and tensed up, fighting back the urge to yelp again before turning to see that the voice was Dante which is when she relaxed once again with a sigh. "My side isn't too happy with me," she whispered. "But other than that I'm fine... physically..." she paused for a moment. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up... I had a pretty nasty nightmare..." again she paused as she processed the fact that he mentioned that she sleep talked. "Wait... what did you hear?! Well... Nevermind... I'll let you get back to sleep..." She didn't want to keep Dante from sleeping as well, she had already hindered him quite a bit with becoming his...friend? buddy? companion? She shook her head when she started to think too much before moving to sit on the floor against the bedpost of the bed she had been sleeping in. Quite honestly, she wasn't ready for sleep just yet...

Dante Dante was at least glad Dajana didn't injured herself further than she already was but nodded at her apology for waking him up." It's fine, beside's I could tell it was a nightmare by what you were saying...doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out." He sighed. Dante was almost tempted to take that offer of heading back to sleep but seeing Dajana leaning on the post he had a feeling she didn't have any plans to fall back asleep just yet." As much as sleep sounds good why aren't you? or did that nightmare really spook you?" He asked almost curiously. He didn't see it as far to simply go back to sleep while Dajana was wide awake and seemed scare out of her wits.

DajanaDajana sighed once again while her head was leaning against the bedpost when she realized that she had managed to make Dante stay awake, but she raised her head and looked at him with an attempt at a smile and spoke softly while running a hand through her hair with nervousness. "Ya... it was a pretty bad nightmare... I'm not sure if I can fall asleep just yet... I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to wake you..."

Dante Dante watched Dajana carefully, seeing if she was still in tears but from what he could tell she wasn't." You want to talk about it? You don't have to if you don't but might help maybe..." He said as he sat up, his back aching slightly but it was a lot better after Dajana had dressed it with bandages. When she apologized again he simply shook his head, giving him a slight smile." It's fine, as long as it was just me and not the whole place then it's no big deal" He said simply, just happy he didn't have to deal with angry gladiators.

DajanaDajana raised a brow with a small smile as Dante offered to listen to her about her nightmare while she contemplated if she really wanted to tell him, but from what she could tell he wasn't going to go back to bed anytime soon while she was still awake. So finally she sighed before pushing herself back up delicately, since she was already a bit sore from her fall, and moving to sit on the corner of Dante's bed. "I'm just sitting here because I don't want to have to talk too loud and wake anyone..." she started as she pulled up her legs to sit cross-legged and justified moving so close to him. To be quite honest she would probably feel a lot more safe if he held her....but she shook her head as if to shake off the idea as well. She ran her hand through her hair again before quickly recapping her nightmare. "I just dreamt that I was back in the arena again, but the wolf I fought and killed was back alive and I had to fight him all over again... And he was stronger... Or at least seemed so... I just really didn't want to go through that all over again..." Dajana looked down at her fingers as she fiddled with them while she felt her tears welling back up. It was the realization that she would probably have to do that over and over again...Everyday...

Dante Dante stared slightly seeing Dajana sit on the corner of his bed, rising a brow hearing her excuse for doing so. He could understand why she didn't want to wake anyone up, here that would be like waking up a whole beehive but he would at least think she would whisper from where she was at other than sitting right next to him. He decided to just pass it as is and listen about her nightmare, frowning slightly at the dream from hell...heck he even thought it was frightening, Shiv wasn't a very friendly wolf but a stronger Shiv sounded terrible to even think of." Just don't worry about Shiv now, he's gone now." He pointed out, seeing Dajana was trying her best from not crying. Placing a hand on her shoulder he sighed." I can promise you that other battles are going to be just as easy, Shiv was one of the toughest wolves here and you beat him, minus the whole his head being stuck in the wall but still, a win is a win. Just don't let it get to you ok?"

DajanaAs Dajana was fighting back the tears in her eyes, and felt one escape, she also felt Dante touch her shoulder. For the first split second she tensed up, not expecting him to actually make contact with her at that moment, but then she relaxed a bit as the touch, and his words, were pretty comforting for her. She nodded in response to his pep talk before wiping where the tear had fallen and looking over at him with the best smile she could muster up. "I'll try..." she said in a very soft whisper. "Thank you..."

Dante Dante actually smile seeing Dajana was going to try at least, it was progress no less and Dante would take it as that." Good, like I said just don't worried about it and do your best to get some rest. I'm sure will all need it for tomorrow." He spoke softly before taking back his hand from her shoulder.

DajanaDajana nodded once again as Dante tried to continue to help her out and her tail was perking up a bit with her smile becoming a bit more genuine. Then he took his hand from her shoulder, and she felt herself frown for a quick moment as she glanced at where it had been warm from his touch but was now colder than the rest of her body. She really wished he hadn't taken away his hand, but how was he or herself supposed to sleep? Plus, that seemed to be his hint that she should get back to her bed and try to go back to sleep. She was still hesitant as she silently hopped off Dante's bed with her tail drooping a bit, but just before she took off quickly but quietly to her bed, she spun back around to face him and kissed him gently on the cheek. Whispering a soft "Thank you," as she turned back around to jump into her own bed and lie down facing away from him. She knew she would turn back to face him once she thought he was asleep, but she wasn't sure she wanted to see his reaction to what she had done and she also wanted him to believe she was asleep so he would get the rest that he so desperately needed.

Dante Dante smiled seeing Dajana had calmed down slightly from her nightmare but when she hopped off his bed he wasn't expecting her to turn around and kiss his cheek as thanks. His once smiling face turned into a shock and baffle one, watching her climb back into her bed he blinked a few more times before his smile return slightly. At least she was going to try and sleep again, so he didn't have to worried. Laying down as he softly lay his head on his pillow he closed his eyes, not realizing how quickly he passed out again, still having a slight smirk on his face from Dajana's actions.

DajanaDajana stayed awake as she was lying facing away from Dante, but once she heard sounds like he was fast asleep she flipped over silently to face in his direction. She was still a bit ruffled from her nightmare and worried that it would return if she fell back asleep. Instead, she decided to watch Dante as he slept. The fact that he was smiling helped her to feel more at ease, knowing that what she had done hadn't at least negatively affected him. She contemplated as she watched him whether or not she should have done what she did. They had only known each other for a day really and she was already getting very emotionally attached to him... Either of them could die tomorrow, and how would that affect the other? But then again, their life expectancy wasn't long here... so shouldn't she live life to the fullest and not hesitate on social norms? Before she could come up with an answer, her eyes fell shut and she was back to sleeping....

Dante As dawn approached most of the gladiators were still sound asleep, but others were already up and moving to start the day, rather not wasting what could be their last day sleeping. As a few went back upstairs some were more curious on the female who showed up yesterday, peaking in the room she was sleeping in." Wonder who's she fighting today...hope it isn't me." One of them spoke as another scoffed." Oh please, yesterday's fight was a fluke. If Shiv didn't get his head stuck in that wall she would of been dead by now! They all had to agree that more than likely this was her last day here or living that is. Dante rolled over as he heard voices, narrowing his eyes at their comments." Will you all shut up, not like you could of done any better than her yesterday." He sneered, not fond of being woken up this early in the morning. As far as he knew Dajana was still asleep and he didn't want these idiots waking her up." Oh c'mon Dante, you even said it yourself yesterday that she wouldn't last, why the change of thought?" One smirked. Dante's eye twitched, kicking himself for what he said the day before. He knew she could handle herself now but he had everyright to have his doubts at first " Well, this is what I say to that..." He growled, flipping them the bird before rolling over to fall asleep again. All the gladiators laughed as they left, Dante grumbling as he cover his head with his pillow, so much for getting anymore sleep.

DajanaDajana's second round of sleeping went a lot better than the first as she dreamed very little and what she did dream was mostly about Dante and playing out situations that could have played out after her small kiss. But as she was dreaming, she suddenly heard a voice talking about someone fighting... With her eyes still closed, she slightly raised a brow as she began to wake up more and more while listening to the conversation that was apparently taking place between a couple guys and Dante. She continued to pretend that she was asleep, but opened her eyes just enough to watch as Dante was rolling back over to face towards her and cover his head with a pillow while the other guys left. Since Dajana wasn't too sure about whether or not Dante was going back to sleep, she didn't say anything, but she smiled softly to know that Dante was truly on her side and willing to stand up for her. While contemplating this and the dreams she had just before waking up, she slowly stretched out in an almost cat-like fashion before sitting up on the bed and crossing her legs, debating if she wanted to get up and get ready right away or just relax for a bit. She definitely didn't have any idea of how the morning routine worked in this place...
