It was rare that Sisse ever considered laying down for a nap. Her mother had always retired in the afternoons for such things, but Sisse had never liked the sluggish sensation that came with waking up from a nap. She never felt rested and considered a nap even worse than being tired. Typically she just muddled through. But then again typically she had no problem sleeping either. It had been weeks since she had managed to sleep well, her dreams were so vivid and full of tense situations and the occasional nightmare when she did manage to finally fall asleep there was no rest to be found. She'd also been staying up later studying with Ned, writing letters to Alice, and doing her own schoolwork that late nights were frequent and she still remained an early riser. It all led to the rare desire to actually lay down on her bed and take a nap.

Sisse had dragged herself up to her dorm hoping that no one else would be about so she could sleep without anyone wondering what was up what was up, afterall they'd spent six years together and the others knew her habits as surely as she did. The hope was unfounded as Sloane seemed to have just returned from practice. Pulling her tired features into as bright a smile as she could muster Sisse nodded, "Yes, just a bit tired." She pushed the tendrils of curls that spilled out of her braid behind her ear.

"How was practice?"
