Isaura
How could I possibly sleep on such a night? ~ Her lips twitch as she considers his words ~ "It's alright, Raymond. I won't be able to sleep, anyway." ~ Attempting to sound light-hearted ~ "Besides... you're the one who gets edgy quickly. I think you need to get more rest."
Seeing his wounded expression, her tone involuntarily turns gentle ~ "I know you mean well... friend." ~ Her jaw muscles turning a little tense, she turns away abruptly ~ "It's only a couple of hours before daybreak, anyway. You should catch up on your rest."
Saying, she advances towards the exit of the tent ~ "I'll wake you up when the time comes." ~ Not waiting for a reply, she strolls out, a determined expression on her pale face.
