IC: Dream Post

[doesnothappen]

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

So is Mau, but he comes to put an arm around you and lead you up the beach to a makeshift shelter.

"Thank you..."

[hoarse and breathless] Least...I could do.

[collapsing and pulling Mau close if allowed, holding him tight, god I need to hug you so much right now ;;;;;]

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

He collapses down beside you and slumps against you, easily pulled into that hug.

"Are we... are we dreaming?"

Re: The Beach

[unionoftheheart]

[cradling him, they both stink of death and he doesn't care]

...maybe. Probably. I did...death got me, but then I was still there.

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

Mau doesn't even notice, and slowly his arms come up around Ven.

"Death... Locaha?! Ven, no, I'm sorry."

[stroking his hair gently]

It gave you time...maybe another you...to get most of them out. We stole so much from him.

"I can tell... you changed something. I can -- I can think."

Re: The Beach

[unionoftheheart]

[squeezing him gently and rocking him a little]

Good. That's good enough for me.

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

He leans his head against your shoulder, just letting himself be held.

"Are you really in my dream..?"

Re: The Beach

[unionoftheheart]

It...happens, sometimes. It's really me, if that's what you're asking. Here to help you, however it happened.

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

"But you were hurt..."

Re: The Beach

[unionoftheheart]

It's okay. I'll be all right.

[utter calm assurance; he's pretty worn out, but he's found that core of strength that he discovered when he broke the X-blade, and he's not letting it go]

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

Mau, on the other hand, sounds shattered.

"I would never have that happen -- I would never show you this...

Re: The Beach

[unionoftheheart]

[holdingggg and loving on 8(]

I know. No matter how much you hear that...friends can be there to share your burdens...some things are far too terrible to want to show. Maybe...especially because I wouldn't turn away. But we will both...survive.

Re: The Beach

[doesnothappen]

Now he just sounds resigned.

"I know."
