[In the moment after Cor calls him 'Reggie,' Regis all but radiates pleasure and fondness even though the only visible reaction is his eyes widening in surprise. Cor so rarely calls him by his nickname that he treasures every time it happens. In fact, if Cor's attention had not shifted so quickly to Will, Regis very well might have let his own nickname for Cor--one that he hasn't spoken aloud yet, but used many times in his mind--slip out. He is not sure how the Cor he knows back home would react to being called 'my lion' but he doesn't think the one here would mind it so much.]

I'm not certain rest is coming to any of us all that soon, but at the very least we can settle back down and attempt it. I thank you for understanding that the night causes a special kind of fear for those of us from Eos.

[Regis turns to take a step back toward Cor's room, never letting go of the hand in his, but then pauses to look back at Will with concern.]

Are you all right?

[Now that Cor has settled and Regis knows his friend is not fighting for his life somewhere, how terrible Will looked when they first woke up flashes vividly into his mind.]
