"That's always been the case for you? Not needing a lot of sleep?"
It was odd to ask, to be continuing this conversation, but he was curious now. While it was true that he'd never needed much rest, he'd learned that, with his aptitude, he needed even less. It was something about the way his brain worked, he was sure, pathway shifting around the mental need for sleep so that he could get away with clocking somewhere around two or three hours a day, and still feel fine. It was how he'd kept moving, kept killing and taking, as a murderer--he stayed awake for days on end, seeking new kills, only pausing to catnap.
And when he'd taken Adam's regeneration? Well, that had only further cut the amount of time he needed to sleep. It was a strange side effect, yes, but not an unwelcome one, as with how fast-paced his life had been as of late, being able to sleep for just an hour every couple of days and still function was amazing. It was the sort of thing that made him wonder just how long he could stay awake before his body finally shut down, or if his brother had experienced the same thing.
