Tuck felt like a complete douchebag for having rudely awakened Evan. He knew what a precious commodity sleep was, and he also knew that sleep didn't come easy to the Sun. Tuck hadn't been expecting Evan to be asleep, and when he'd discovered that he had been, Tuck couldn't stop beating himself up over it.
He'd sort of left the cafeteria acting like a huge baby, but Tuck hadn't slept a full night of sleep since his interlude with Candace, and that had been ...three or four days ago, he couldn't remember. Things were starting to blur together at this point. It was always the same nightmare, over and over again - he'd dreamed of nothing else since it'd happened.
Obliterating dummies on the training field as he waited for Gnat and Evan made him feel kind of better.
Kind of.

Evan had only meant to stop by his room to pick up a shirt, but he found himself laying in bed again, his feet dangling off of the mattress. All he wanted was to be able to go back to sleep and just stay that way for a good few days. The weariness was a physical ache, but the stirring of thoughts chasing each other around his mind prevented him from being able to give in.
The odd combination of exhaustion and alertness left him feeling ragged and brittle and sharp-edged. It hadn't been helped at all by the twins' complaints while making breakfast, every whine scraping layers off of his already thin patience. He stared unseeingly at his ceiling for a few moments, needing just a moment of peace. The brief respite helped him reign it all in.
Get over it, he repeated to himself, over and over like a mantra until he believed that he had put it behind himself instead of just ignored it. He could bury all the little hurts and irritations that accumulated and never have to think of them again, just keep on waiting for the next lucky night of deathlike sleep to wash them all away.
In the meantime, he had promised Tuck an a**-kicking. That would probably help, too. With a reluctant sigh, Evan hauled himself off of his bed and down to the training field.

"Whoa now, you gonna leave any o' those for other folks?"
Gnat had been watching Tuck obliterate dummies with apparent ease, but the constant reminder of how bad her a** was gonna get beat today was sort of ruining the mood.
Besides, she still kinda wanted to go back to bed.

"No," came the sullen reply from her twin brother, "I ain't."
Sweeping Herryk in a broad arc, Tuck promptly decimated three more dummies.

"It's all right, Gnat," Evan said as he walked up behind her, "Tuck'll be our training dummy today." Gir was already summoned and slung over Evan's shoulder like a baseball bat, excited for playtime.

Gnat watched him decapitate a few dummies, and gulped.
"If you say so." She summoned Edward, and he encapsulated her hand readily.

Tuck turned around to glance at the two of them. There was an unbridled anger that thrummed just below the surface, something that pulsed just beneath his skin, itchy and electric.
"Come on, then."

"We'll be fine," Evan assured Gnat, reaching out to squeeze her shoulder before stepping aside to let her do...well, whatever she did with her weapon.
Evan lazily swung Gir off of his shoulder, gesturing at Tuck with the canine tooth of the blade. "Do your little defendy thing first. Don't want this to be over too fast."

Gnat just flexed her gauntleted hand nervously, opening and closing her fist.

Tuck hefted Herryk up in both hands, the runes across the face of the blade sparking violently.
He grinned. It wasn't a pretty grin.
"I'm waitin'."

Gnat squinted, and took an experimental shot.
For all that they fought back home, it felt really strange going after her brother with a real weapon. Her heart wasn't really in it.

DMG: nope

Tuck was acting weird,, Gnat was acting quiet, and Evan was still the worse half of asleep, as evidenced by the halfhearted swing that didn't even connect. This could only end well.

Tuck planted the head of his axe in the ground and let the hilt of the weapon bear his weight.
"Gnat. C'mon now. You ain't gotta worry about hurtin' me. Focus up."
To Evan he only offered a lift of his brows as if to say, that all u got bro?
He hoisted the weapon up again in a defensive stance.

Her only response was an exaggerated groan, and another swing.

Evan rolled his eyes, but put a little more effort into his next swing. "Gnat, haven't you ever just wanted to punch your brother in the face? Ever? Now you can actually do it."
