paradisa | Action/Closed -- Vongola XII

[It'd been a fitful night for Tsuna, his sleep tormented by nightmares yet again. Scattered nightmares, both from what he'd experienced when he was in everyone else's nightmares, and then some. Let's just say learning what a Chosen was meant for didn't exactly make his sleep any less troubled. He ended up starting awake at around three in the morning, and though he was tired, he found himself unwilling to go back to sleep, so he begrudgingly took a shower, clothed himself, and headed outside.

Zelos wouldn't be in the garden for awhile yet, so Tsuna decided to just take a walk around the castle, letting the cool air clear his mind. His mind wanders to the nightmares. He knows that without those nightmares, it's likely that most of those things would have never been brought up. Knowing what he did... even if it wasn't his fault, he couldn't help but feel like he cheated. Cheated into learning deep-seated issues of his friends. Like accidentally eavesdropping on an intimate conversation, if when you were eavesdropping, you also suddenly found yourself with an inability to walk away.

Of course, he hadn't gotten off scot-free, either, and his own nightmares had... varying amounts of real life consequences, from an almost too easy forgiveness, to a punch in the stomach. He... still wasn't sure how to feel about having his weaknesses exposed like that, honestly.

About thirty minutes later, he finds himself in the garden once more. He sits down on a bench and takes his dagger out of its sheath, and takes a small grinding stone from a pocket in his coat, then sets to sharpening his weapon.]
