night time oh my god i'm so sorry i'm like all over your inbox

Honestly, Madoka was already telling herself that she'd make sure to not sleep the entire night once she knew that Maru was out there keeping watch. If anything, she was kind of determined to stay up with him, but all these new experiences and people around are just a little too much for a poor fourteen year old's mind. Madoka was just too exhausted to not sleep at least a bit. She told herself she could just wake up after a quick nap and join Maru so he wouldn't have to be by himself out there--

But she doesn't even have to wake herself up. The dreams do it for her. Madoka awakens with a gasp, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. She makes a grab for the kitty that usually sleeps with her out of sheer instinct only to remember that right, Maru was keeping watch.

It's that thought and the instinctive desire to seek comfort with him that gets the girl to stumble from the spot she was sleeping closer towards the opening of the cave. Her legs feel shakey, and the nightmares managed to kick her flight response into full gear, but she just has to see Maru right now. It's all Madoka can think about.

"Maru.." She calls out in a shakey voice once she's close enough to spot his form. Honestly, it's at a moment like this that it's apparent just how young Madoka still is despite her mature moments at times - she looks very much like a kid who just woke up from a nightmare. Because she is just that, really.
