Aina was currently tossing and turning with a pillow covering her face as she lied on the bed facing the ceiling. The sheets had been tangled in her legs but she paid it no heed. She had been living in this manor for the past two weeks but she still can't settle well. Sighing with a bit of irritation, she sat up and leaned on the headboard. She then turned her head to observe everything around her. Like her old room at the Ederra family mansion, more commonly known as the Mansion of Arts, where she had a princess canopy bed, her father made sure to have the same replica of the bed here in Blanchett Manor.
Looking around, she noted with satisfaction that her room was clean and organized just the way she liked it. She had finished her cleaning just before one o clock earlier after having an unplanned 4 hours nap and ever since then she unfortunately can't fall asleep once again. This is what have been happening to her for the past few days. She'd sleep for few hours but after that she can't ever go back to dreamland until she's totally exhausted on the next day.
The blue-haired girl knew that this is detrimental to her health, with the way she strictly follows her schedule she's expected to wake up at the designated time but she can't help it. She was so tired because of her recent sculpting that afternoon that she just promptly fell asleep once she got home. After that, she continued following her schedule and cleaning all the mess that she created. She tried playing classical soft and slow music, hoping she fall asleep but even that didn't help. Though the room looked exactly as it was back at the Ederra mansion, she still can't find the solace and the familiarity her old room had.
She let out a sigh again before scooting on the right side of the bed and checking the alarm on the table nearby.
Seeing the figures 3:00, glowing in dark caused Aina to groan and lay back tiredly on the headboard. She only have few more hours of sleep. She usually wakes up at 6AM to get ready for the day and she intended to follow it.
Specially since she wanted to see the sunrise, for Aina there is something relaxing with seeing the early morning sky. Everyday without fail, she will go to the nearest window or balcony and just stay there waiting for the rising sun. She'd stare quietly at the sun crossing the horizon wholly lighting the darkened skies along its path. Sometimes she brings with her a sketchpad or a digital camera to capture the moment, but she mostly prefers just standing and watching it silently.
Switching on the table lamp, she then opened her drawer. She decided that if she can't sleep she might as well check her things to do later that day. Retrieving her daily planner, she flipped the pages and searched for the particular date. Upon confirming that her schedule is not as busy as it is usually, when she saw that she only had the regular activities jotted down on her notes, she decided to grab some food at the kitchen. The last time that she ate had been hours ago and she had undeniably heard her stomach grumble in protest. Feeling hungrier when she thought of the mouthwatering foods on the fridge, she hastened her movements and left the bed. When she felt how cold it was, she grabbed a thin jacket to cover her pajamas and looked for her slippers before going out of the room.
As she was on her way to the kitchen, she was surprised to see a green-haired boy sitting outside. She was about to greet him when she noticed him concentrating on feeding his Irish Wolfhound dog, Xander. She didn't know Rei that much, he was one of the five tenants of the Manor and as far as she's aware, he's mostly out because of a part time job. She tried talking to him before but he had been so shy that even Aina with all her friendliness felt an unnatural awkwardness around him. She tried to smile at him but he didn't see her, instead proceeding to pet his dog and leave for his room upstairs. Still smiling fondly from where she saw him kissing Xander affectionately on the head, she started walking towards the kitchen.
She was once again surprised, upon seeing Evande and Ioseph still awake during this time. She let out a wide smile and amiably turned to approach the pink-haired owner of the manor. Though when she saw Ioseph cooking some eggs, she instead went over him and asked, "What are you going to cook? Is there some way I can help?"
