Billy knelt beside the bed, shifting a little to the side when Terra followed so she would have a space as well.
"Shhhh," he whispered to the child, who had not yet woken the other two who slumbered in the bed beside her. He scooped up the stuffed moogle she favored from where it had fallen to the floor and pressed it into her arms.
"h-had a bad dweam," the girl gasped, still shaking from what she had seen in her sleep. She held the stuffed doll tight against her.
It was not the first nightmare she'd had in Billy's care. "Let's go to the kitchen. We can make you some tea. Do we still have any chamomile, Terra?" he asked, keeping his voice low so he didn't disturb the other kids.
