( Basil wishes that he could feel some relief when Kel wakes up, but all he feels is intense fear for his friend. It's no wonder that Kel had been so against sleeping. Was the ghosts effects truly that powerful? He can't even imagine what horrific things he was dreaming of. Basil wants nothing more than to shield him from whatever he was seeing or feeling in his dreams.
Instinctively, he wraps his arms around the other, pushing himself against him and lifting a hand to comb fingers through soft brown locks. He'll look for any signs that he's making it worse, but he doesn't know what else to do. He already feels useless. How can someone help another when they're having nightmares like this? )
I'm here. ( Basil says the words quietly. ) I'll protect you - no matter what.
