[Even from another room, Lloyd's sleeping habits were hard to ignore. All the tossing and turning was fine, but those fits and noises that sounded too close to sobs? They bothered him. Was he worrying about the others, maybe?
He could barely sleep even without that, so he had stood in the middle of the night to head to the bathroom. One light flashes on and he leans in closer to the mirror, turning his head to the side and gathering his hair up and out of the way to view the strange scales that had formed there with a frown. The discovery had happened by accident. The base of his neck wasn't anything he usually found himself looking at, but it just so happened that he had wanted to try a ponytail the other day, and a few modeling turns let him catch a glimpse. He'd worried it was a hallucination at first, but no. It was still there. There and larger, in fact.
The sound of footsteps behind him catches him off guard, and he drops his hair and spins in shock. He hadn't been paying enough attention! What if Lloyd--
But before he can even attempt to come up with excuses or things to say in hopes that he hadn't seen anything, Lloyd had passed by the door. Eyebrows furrowing in his concentration at that, he steps after his friend cautiously.
Was he... awake? It sure as hell didn't look like it. But for now, he'd follow from behind, trying to get an idea of just where he was going.]
