Request: the s/o of the papas and copia having a night terror and the papas and copia being awoken/finding them and comforting them?
Papa II: Contrary to popular belief, II is actual a very calm and spiritual person when it comes to his inner self, which means that he's done a lot in the way of sorting out his problems and does a lot of thinking about his problems by means of solving them instead of just dwelling. That being said, though is night terrors are nothing personal, they sure are just as horrifying. Its usually the same one: he's frozen solid like his body is set in cement, and watching his loved ones tortured. He cares deeply about his family and friends, and his s/o, so seeing them in pain, screaming and writhing and bleeding on the floor, is not a pretty sight to him. When his s/o slowly manages to wake him up without making things worse, he just wants to hold them. he's awake now, and knows that they're safe and okay, but what he saw still bothered him deeply, so he just wants to lay in bed with his loved one and hold them for a few hours, or until one or both of you fall back asleep.
Papa III: Pretty mundane here, if we're honest. At least let the poor man have normal night terrors, okay? He gets the average things like natural disasters, and watching his loved ones die, but more often than not, he sees something that hurts a little more. It's the devil, Mister Morningstar himself, standing before him, flames surrounding both of them while III cries on his knees. "You've disappointed me, young one. Your disobedience and lack of will power, and determination within the church has cause great grief for your family, and great grief for the old ones. You were too weak to reach your full potential, and therefore, have amounted to nothing". Yup. Papa III's biggest fear is being told by the old ones that he hasn't done their bidding, or hasn't respected them enough, and disappointing them. He never respected Nihil to care enough when he said he was disappointed, but hearing it from satan? very much different. when papa III is awoken by his S/o hes the one that wants to talk about it. often he's a destroyer of all bad unhappy feelings, but this is something he know wont release him until he can finally talk to him about it. the trouble is knowing when he's awake, and when the night terror is still happening.
Cardinal Copia: Oh you mean ??? i can actually write about copia being afraid for a GOOD reason now??????? great. you'd think his night terrors would be the usual: covered in bugs, can't move, natural disasters, demons, things of that nature, but no!! it's his own regrets that haunt him!!! if copia is having a night terror or nightmare you can bet your ass he's watching himself murder the papa's over and over again in third person. Seeing their blood drain from their bodies, the light leave their eyes. Of course murder guilt is bad enough, but it's seeing the look in Papa III's face that gets him every time. Pain. Betrayal. Everything is coming together in III's head as he realizes just what type of monster has been lurking under the surface this entire time - that's what scares Copia the most. that maybe he really is a monster. When his s/o wakes him up, he just wants to be left alone. that guilt isn't something he would ever beg his lover to bare, not that he could even tell them about it.
