IC: Dream Post

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.

Re: The Beach

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

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

"Are we... are we dreaming?"

[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

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.

[squeezing him gently and rocking him a little]

Good. That's good enough for me.

Re: The Beach

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

"Are you really in my dream..?"

Re: The Beach

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

Re: The Beach

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]

Mau, on the other hand, sounds shattered.

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

[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.

Now he just sounds resigned.

"I know."
