down the river of night's dreaming

[ the fight with the beast pushed Rainer to his limits. an unknown enemy with unknown powers, only foreign strangers on his own side. without modern weapons at hand it was truly a clumsy hassle. he would have called it comical if humor wasn't beyond him in this state. injuries were a question of when and how, not if. considering the technology he's used to, their survival was a miracle from his point of view.

and just when he thought the worst of the adrenaline had left him, he can hear someone entering the room and his pulse quickens once more. he's in the bed, resting his injured knee against the cold wall, too exhausted to move, but the old sword they gave him is within a reach. he holds his breath and listens.

rustling, slow footsteps – Rainer had refused the sleeping tonic, leaving his senses clear enough to tell him that this person isn't a threat. but this is going to be very awkward. ]


I'd appreciate your name before we get any more intimate.
