Summary
"Is this a ninth house custom I'm unaware of, or is this a hobby all your own?"
Your heart skipped a beat. For a few seconds you fancied the delusion that she was just talking in her sleep. Speaking to you in a dream. But you knew well before she opened her eyes and looked at you, as awake as could be, that you were rumbled.
“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.” You said, managing to keep your voice even.
“Nonagesimus.” Ianthe said, in her best “Is that the best you can do?” tone.
“I was merely having trouble sleeping.” You said curtly. “I’ve no idea what you’re insinua-”
She cut you off with a few words that froze the blood in your veins.
“I’ve been awake every time you snuck in here, you naive little pervert.”---------------------------------
After stumbling across a sleeping Ianthe Tridentarius, Harrowhark is struck with the realization that she is a somnophiliac. Despite her better instincts, she begins to sneak into Ianthe's chambers regularly to watch her sleep.
When Ianthe reveals that she was aware of Harrow's occasional nigh-time visits, Harrowhark prepares for retribution. But Ianthe has other plans in mind.
