The fear begins to set in

Kellen opened his eyes, his alarm blaring, and drowsiness filling his muscles. He reached out, slapping the alarm off as he stared up at the ceiling. He hadn't been this tired in a long time, and he had a feeling it had something to do with the Captain and his antics. 

Yesterday, he had proven to Kellen just how thirsty he had been. Kellen had been unaware of the Captain's actual appetites, and had made assumptions. He'd known that Espers could probably get…hungry. But, he had also read textbooks in preparation. He knew averages, and assumed that, you know, Espers would be slightly higher than that. He'd also experienced side effects with the Captain, and he had wrongly assumed that the Captain had gotten uh, everything he needed done when with him. 

He had been wrong. 

Very, very wrong.
