At night, Ophelia sat by the bed, tears streaming down her face from exhaustion, yet she insisted on watching over the three little dragon cubs playing on the floor. Her head lolled against the wall, bobbing as she fought off sleep. Zeref, watching from the side, couldn't bear to see it. He reached out to support her chin as it slumped again, whispering softly, "If you're tired, go to sleep first."
Ophelia shook her head. "The cubs haven't had their midnight meal yet."
Because the little dragon cubs were in a growth spurt, they required an extra feeding every night. Consequently, Ophelia could only sleep once they had finished their meal.
