Cirrus glanced from side to side, and snuck through the open window. They settled down on top of a bureau, staring intently at the human across the room from them. It was asleep, obviously. It was the middle of the night. They looked at the person's rising and falling chest, and wondered exactly what it would be like to sleep. Just watching made Cirrus feel relaxed, but at the same time made them impossibly curious. They had heard that it made strange images and stories play out in your head, that you thought were real, but that seemed a little far-fetched and didn't really have them convinced.

A blue and black butterfly flew into the room and landed gently on the human. Outside, a quiet hiss sounded above the silence, "Q! Get back here!"
After a minute, the voice sighed. There was gentle fluttering, and it increased until the source was balancing at the sill. "Q, come--" The figure noticed the person sitting on the bureau and gasped, nearly falling back. She caught herself and quietly asked the person, "Who are you?"

Cirrus was knocked out of their trance and fell from the bureau, catching themself just before they hit the floor. Floating into an upright position, they began to hurriedly whisper. "Umm, I wasn't doing anything. Nothing at al-" They realised that that hadn't been the question and started again in a less panicked tone. "I'm Cirrus. Who are you?"

". . . Morphodoe. What are you doing?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. She wasn't sure if this person was a cultist or not, but since she couldn't see a flame she assumed they weren't.

Cirrus blushed. "I um, wasn't doing it any harm. I was just... watching it." They glanced over to where the human was still sleeping. "It's relaxing."

Morphodoe followed their gaze, "Mm. . . I guess they are." Seeing her butterfly, Morphodoe narrowed her eyes at it and slowly got off the sill. Tip-toeing to the bed, she asked, "But why are you watching them? Nothing much happens when people sleep." Her voice got more quieter as she neared the human.

"But look at it!" Cirrus gestured to the human. "It looks so... peaceful. It's mesmerising." They tore their eyes from the sleeping person and tilted their head quizzically at Morphodoe. "Are you a human?"

Morphodoe stopped, "Um. . ." She droned for a few seconds before answering, "Yyyyessss, but not exactly!"
She flinched when the human shifted. She released a breath and continued getting closer to the bed.

Cirrus bounded up to Morphodoe, poking at her with a translucent finger and firing off questions. "Do you sleep? What is it like? Is it really like watching a film? Why do you do it?" The human shifted again, making some sort of sleepy half-yawn.

Morphodoe's eyes widened when the human yawned and she quickly turned to shush Cirrus, "You're gonna wake them up!" Wait, she whispered that too loud!
She looked back at the human and held her breath when they turned to face the duo. . . But their eyes were closed. Morphodoe didn't dare to release a breath and answered Cirrus as quietly as she could, "I do sleep, and its kinda like watching a film and walking in another world." She gestured to the butterfly to come to her, but deadpanned when it didn't, "I'm not sure why we do it though. I guess it's in the brain. Dear god, Q, if you get into trouble I'm not helping you!" She gasped when the human made a noise and shifted.

Cirrus gasped, forgetting about the sleeping human. They always took every chance that they could to quiz humans or former humans on anything and everything, and this was no exception. "Wow! That's so cool! I always wanted to try it, but it's really boring just laying there and I never got the hang of it. Is it like you are actually in it, or like you are watching someone else? Do you die if you don't sleep? That would be sort of inconvenient." The human stirred again, this time moving for a little longer, but Cirrus didn't seem to notice and kept on.

"Um, Cirrus." Morphodoe was starting to panic, "You need to be quiet! You're gonna wake up the human!"
"Who's there?" Uh oh. Morphodoe scooped up Q into her hands and backed up. The human sat up in bed and immediately screamed at the sight of the two strangers. Morphodoe was put into panic and leaped out the window, landing with a thud on the ground. She ran to a tree and jumped into the shadows of the branches.

Cirrus smiled nervously at the human. "Ah, um, this is just a part of your normal human dream sequence. Definitely nothing to do with any sort of cult that includes nonhuman entities." They leaped out of the window after Morphodoe, spotting her in the shadows and giving her a thumbs up. "It's no problem, I'm sure I had it convinced!"
The human was leaning out of the window watching them say this. It did not look at all convinced.

Morphodoe glanced at the human, "Uhhh. . . . We should probably go. Now. Just in case." Morphodoe jumped down from the branches, careful not to land on Cirrus, and asked, "How fast can you run-- or, uh, float?"

Cirrus looked up. "Oh. I see." In answer to Morphodoe's question, they shapeshifted into a small pointed thing resembling a rocket and shot off out of the garden. They were trying to show off, but they really weren't going all that fast; just about normal running speed, really.
