Because she was hopelessly enthralled, bound vise-like, she chose—or perhaps, she was in fact powerless to choose and had merely surrendered to Fate’s mandate—to savor each of his breaths, each of his heartbeats the whole length of night. Myoubi needed no sleep, and the fatigue that had relentlessly grinded her during those days they were far apart had disappeared instantly, the moment they were reunited. She was able to fill her senses of his sight, feel, scent, presence—name it—now while he slumbered in that rare semblance of peace.

As it was, he probably needed no sleep. Humans, however, did need sleep. Though his humanity was questionable these days, he was once very much human, very much fragile. Perhaps, it was simply slavery to convention which caused him to still take to his bed?

Her eyes glowed in the darkness, with a color (with colors?) unnamed as she took in his form, redolent with divinity. She kept on him those non-human eyes, the unwilling god she had wrought for her own.
