1 day after; nighttime

[keepscalm]

[Sealand not being in their shared room at night worried England, though he'd be loathe to admit it out loud. Especially after what England saw on the monitors, and what they both saw on that last day in the labyrinth, England isn't comfortable with the idea of Sealand being on his own during the night.

It takes him a while to find Sealand, because England isn't used to thinking like a little boy of the twenty-first century, but eventually he runs across the boy on a floor that England has become rather familiar with over the past week.

He's armed, as he always is when he has to venture out of the residential levels at night, but he lowers his crossbow when he sees that the restless figure on the sofa is Sealand. His forehead creases with worry as he watches Sealand thrash in his sleep; he can't watch it for very long before he leans over the back of the couch to wake the micronation with in a voice just above a whisper.] Sealand. Come now, wake up.

[Sealand eyes snap open, but he's still panicking, still partly in his nightmare. He grasps hold of England's arm tightly, feeling his eyes sting as his terror worsens momentarily. Someone's here--]

Wha-- I--

[It takes him a moment, but he realises then that he's in the media room, not back in the labyrinth, somehow being simultaneously eaten by Ruana and watching it happen. There's no fire, there's no blood, no monsters. He's okay... But even when he realises this, and sees that it's England he's clinging to so tightly, he doesn't let go. Not for several moments, at least. He blinks rapidly, because he has enough sense left not to want England see him so near tears.]

Oh...
