⚔ // once upon a dream

[discutio]

[You all know the drill by now. Ignis and Camilla have taken over the nearest kitchen, and there's going to be food in the Pokemon Center soon enough; a warm and comforting vegetable curry. Highwind's even out now, welcoming any and all who might need a large cloud bird to hug after everything that was.]

[It's been a long night. Everyone needs a good meal and a long rest, and luckily one of those things is being seen to immediately.]

Right now I'm doing better. I had to take a moment to calm down some time ago.

[Which he feels kind of embarrassed about now]

I'll get over it.

[thunderwolf]

I don't blame you.

[He'll make that clear. Honestly, he's sure nobody would. He's in full agreement that a lot of that was unnecessary. It was very difficult to go through those nightmares.]

The best we can take out what we had to go through is that it didn't end up being pointless.

[Even if it was unnecessary...at least something good came from it.]

[takestheblame]

Easier said than done, you know.

[It's not that Kiryu is incapable of doing such a thing, it's more like he needs something to focus on to distract himself. Until then he won't stop thinking about it]

[thunderwolf]

...Yeah, I know. What we saw... [He squeezes the cup of coffee in his hands, thinking back to the Grandcypher in ruins.] That's not going to go away anytime soon, even if it wasn't real.

[It's taking a lot of willpower to not dwell on that image.]

But I'm not about to let myself get stuck in my head again- especially on a dream. Can't afford to.

[takestheblame]

Have you gone through something like that before?

[The contents of the nightmare? Kiryu knows Eustace wasn't the most expressive guy ever, but he's taking this rather well -- outwardly. That's something Kiryu can respect]

That whole encounter with Cyrus- his threat to bring these effects to our worlds and how close we came to actually dying before getting the chance to stop him hit me hard.
