Part 605: Lissa B

So, did you get over your insomnia, Lissa?

Yep! As soon as I close my eyes, I'm out like a candle. I don't know what changed, but I'm super glad it did!

Nya ha ha! Just a little touch of Henry's Super Sleepy-Time Magic!

...The nonlethal version.

Really? That was you? Aw, thank you, Henry.

Always happy to lend a helping curse!

I suppose it WOULD be a curse, huh? That can't be healthy, long term... And what do you have to do to set it up? Some kind of weird ceremony?

Oh, it's not so much trouble, really... Hardest part is probably finding fresh sacrifices every time.

...Sacrifices?

Yup! I usually just use birds or something.

STOP! You can't go robbing poor little birdies of their lives for something like this! I'd rather go sleepless than live with that sort of guilt!

First you don't want any allies or enemies to die, and now BIRDIES are off the table? ...You're a strange one, Lissa.

I'M the strange one?! You're one to talk! Look, I'll find a solution on my own, no cute creature deaths required! So no more curses! Got it?!

As you please!
