It was adorable, he can’t help but be so amused by your current situation. Being so late in the night as you lay in bed, surrounded by all the comforts one could have for a good rest that is needed, but you refused to go to sleep despite the exhaustion you felt.

Somnum could only hum in amusement, knowing you’re bound to succumb to slumber. He could make you fall asleep right now really, just a sprinkle of sand and you’ll be drifting into dreamland but where’s the fun in that? A mortal can only do so much to keep awake. Besides, shouldn’t you feel blessed that the Sandman is keeping watch over you? You need the protection anyway, as your dreams were of nightmares. He is aware that his counterpart has been a disturbance, which led Somnum having to intervene. The nightmares can do a lot towards one’s mind and he’s just trying to soothe your nerves. Though he knows Noctis is crafty, likely planning something to leave you vulnerable.

“My little sheep. Can you see that you're exhausted?” He speaks his concern, though it was with teasing too. Somnum wanted to just give you a good sleep, that part was true, you would’ve gladly accepted it if he wasn’t so cruel. The Sandman crafts you wonderful dreams to be in, but the more you delve into them the harder it is for you to awake. It makes him disappointed when you want to leave to be back into reality. Time is different within the dreamland, it feels awfully long to wait for you to come back or even lose an opportunity against him.

Now you’re just being spiteful, using things to keep you awake or trinkets to keep him out of your dreams. He already got rid of those things, sure they're potent but it won’t stop him. The drowsiness you had must’ve made you lose your senses. Somnum is patient though, always ready to guide his lost sheep back on the right path again. If you get lost, he’ll guide you back, reminding you who is the best choice out of the two masters of dream until it sticks to your memories.

“It’s not good of you delaying your rest.” He whispers, gently cupping your cheeks as his golden eyes bore into you. It was like the full moon was staring back, reminding you of your long day. Somnum lays at your side, adjusting your pillows and making sure you are tucked in well. He was lulling you in a state of comfort, a genuine touch to ensure you were cared for. Yet his kindness seems to weigh on you more than others, a fear brewing of what he is truly like when his hourglass of kindness finally runs out.

Somnum is holding back what he’s truly capable of, he could’ve locked you away within his domain but he’s being merciful for your sake. At least for the time being...

“You will fall asleep sooner or later.” He hums, closing his eyes. “I’ll make sure it’s a lovely night to remember.”
