"i just need to rest my eyes"

Someone, whether it be a friend or a total stranger, has fallen asleep on you wherever you happen to be; you are a rather comfortable pillow to them.

Do you let them sleep or abruptly wake them up?

Pretty bad, yeah.

I was fighting Klarion. From inside the Helmet.

[hackingyoursensors]

That guy definitely gives me the creeps. But that's not all, is it?

[backwordscompatible]

[Of course he would know.]

This isn't the first time I've had that dream.

And every time, I've been forced to watch him kill everyone on the team while I stood by, powerless.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He sets down his mug and rests his hands on her shoulders]

It's not going to happen. We'll wipe the smug grin right off his face.

[backwordscompatible]

[She's not looking him in the eye right now because she's calm. And if she looks at him, she might not be able to stay so calm]

I know. I know it's a dream and probably won't ever actually happen. Sometimes, I even know this when I'm dreaming.

But...

...that doesn't make it any easier to watch.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He moves one hand from her shoulder and gently cups her cheek]

I know. I've had dreams like that too.

[backwordscompatible]

[She risks a glance]

...you have?

[hackingyoursensors]

Not exactly like yours but [He sighs] being afraid of losing someone, of being helpless to save them...it's something that bothers me, I guess.

[backwordscompatible]

[The fact that he has similar fears doesn't exactly ease hers. Though it was nice to know she wasn't the only one.]

How do you deal with it?

[hackingyoursensors]

Honestly, I don't think about it too much. It's hard not to and the fear hasn't gone away. Maybe it won't.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful, was it?

[backwordscompatible]

Not really, no.

But thanks for trying.

[hackingyoursensors]

I'm always here to talk whenever you need it. Okay?

[He smiles as reassuringly as he can.]

[backwordscompatible]

Okay.

[She tries to smile back, but it's just...not happening.]

I'm not sure how much good it would do, though. No matter how much I talk, the nightmares won't go away. I almost wonder if there's a reason I keep having them.

[hackingyoursensors]

Just having a dream over and over doesn't make it an ill omen.

[backwordscompatible]

It can be.

[hackingyoursensors]

So this is what you're really worried about?

[Hugs] You know we don't go down that easily.

[backwordscompatible]

[She doesn't even get the chance to reply before he pulls her into a gentle hug, not even giving her the chance to put down her mug. But she leans against him anyway.]

Some sorcerers can predict things in their dreams.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Screw mugs, hugs come first.

By the way, still hugging.]

Have you ever done it before?

[backwordscompatible]

Well...no, but....

[hackingyoursensors]

[He pulls back enough to look her in the eye]

It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't want you to worry about something if it's a false alarm.

[backwordscompatible]

[She swallows heavily]

But what if it's not, and I just ignored it?

[hackingyoursensors]

Let's say it's true. How could we prepare ourselves?

[backwordscompatible]

I...don't know.

The only person who would even stand a chance against him would be Doctor Fate.

[hackingyoursensors]

We could avoid it? It's not something that has to happen.

[backwordscompatible]

If the team's sent on a mission to fight him, do you really think we would just "avoid" it?
