A few minutes later Zeke realized that the other is asleep. When he does he pulls his fingers away with a smile. Then he goes to wash his hands in the bathroom. With that done he takes a seat on the complimentary couch and waits to see if the other is going to wake soon.

When Zeke came back from washing up, instead of the largish 'human' with seafoam-colored hair, a smallish dragon lay snoring softly on the bed, still alrge enough to almost be too big for the bed. Its scales were about the same color as Kelv's hair, with a crest of a darker sea-green that ran the length of its back. Its tail was tipped with a large 'fin' of the same color as the crest, and it had managed to curl itself completely around the pillows as it snored.
------
It was a few hours later and just getting into evening when Kelv yawned and stretched, his tail nearly knocking the lamp off the bedstand.
'NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...." He smacked his lips a couple times, then wearily blinked his eyes open.
"Damn... must've.... nyaahhhhmmmmm.... dozed off. Sorry, Zeke...."

Zeke looks up from his book he was reading. Every ten minutes or so he would flip back a couple pages to re-read the events so he knew he remembered everything. Although, now that Kelv is awake, he's thrown that completely out the window as he sets down the book, closed, and nods, "Good morning... Erm... Later night really... Did ya know you make little gusts of wind in your sleep... Its kinda cute."

"Y-yeah, well...."
Kelv frowned, uncurling himself from the pillow and gently placing it back where it belonged.
"I hope I didn't... disturb anything, or you. I just... I have a bad habit of sleeping in dragon form. I think it's because of how Beba used to nest."
He lightly leaped down off of the bed and wandered over too where Zeke was, giving the bearer a strange look. "So," he said, "good book?"

"Yeah... I think so," He nods. "The, uh, main bearer just got asked out by the star jock... Or was that the chapter before...?" He frowns to himself, wanting to pick up the book... but not quite recalling the page he was on.
"But... its good, none the less."

"You can't remember what you were just reading a few minutes ago?" he asked with a dragony frown. "Have you gotten that checked out? There could be a medical reason for it, and even if there isn't it's possible they could get you some help managing it."

"I have doctors," Zeke explains simply. "I don't really remember if they know anything about it. But I do know it had something to do with the transport crash. The one that me and Xan were in. The one our parents died in..." He sighs and shakes his head, pushing the thought of his parents from his mind.

"Oh..."
The dragon winced a little.
"I... I'm sorry. I didn't realize. If it helps, when I was a little kid, I got injured in a transport accident, too."

"Oh?" Zeke looks a bit sad. "Its supposed to be uncommon. They say the rarity of it is larger striking earth oil in one of its tundras... Or so some human said once... What happened with you?"

"It was a long time ago... I don't... really remember it. I think it was an auto-route error... mom and dad don't talk about it. There was... there was a family, I think. In the other transport. I... I vaguely remember. There was a little kid and, he was bleeding. He looked cold, and scared, and.... he was crying. I was with him as he... I think, he died..."
He eyes closed and he took a ragged breath.
"S-sorry. Don't mean to be such a hatchling about it. just... it's hard remembering."

Zeke stands and goes to Kelv, he wraps his arms around the dragonis, "Its normal... I'm glad I can't remember that day... My doctors said I suffered from head trauma. So. I understand. Transport accidents... are scary... That's why I like walking."

He leaned into the Zercan's embrace, purring softly, almost like a cat. "Yeah... yeah they are," he said quietly. "I wish I could forget mine."

"No. Memories make a person... Its good to have them," Zeke nods as he holds Kelv in his embrace. "... Even sad and painful ones..."

He returned the hug, wrapping his forelegs and tail around the small bearer, closing his eyes and feeling content for the first time in a while. "So... what about you, Zeke? You were... asking me questions. Earlier. About me. What about you? How do you like being in the Fleet?"

"Its fun... And... they don't mind my forgetfulness. Mostly," Zeke sighs. "I think... But. Its fun. And I like helping people, I always have..." He waits, wondering if Kelv has any other questions.
