Has kid Xelqua ever gone through a night terror? I would get them all the time when I was younger and my folks said that I usually didn’t recognize them at first when I woke up

Probably ! I've thought abt this before, but more so nightmares, I'm not sure how different night terrors are.

kid Xelqua still has vague feelings or emotions tied to his other forms on a subconscious level, so i imagine the nightmares are from that. Tho he is a kid, so he probably has pretty normal nightmares occasionally too.

Xelqua also shares a bed with Grian, i imagine during a nightmare, he'd just wake up and then get closer to Grian for comfort, in the case of a night terror--which i assume is worse, if you can't recognize people--he'd immediately try to get out of bed in a panic, so Grian would have to grab him and turn a light on while trying to calm him, not easy ! They sleep in a nest-like bed, so its not like he'd hurt himself falling out, but still !

Grian would just hold Xelqua and rub his back until he fully calms down, he's confused and tired. Grian would probably try to talk to him about it, but i don't think Xelqua would have much answer.

I think Grian would even try to talk to other versions of Xelqua about the nightmares, whenever they show up i mean, it can be quite the wait sometimes, and the saint isn't exactly open to deeper conversations.
