I might get more for Clover, too. I guess—they're good protection for some things? So it probably wouldn't hurt to have them. And I can try, but I don't know how open she is to giving up her recipes.

[...]

How'd you figure this stuff out so fast? I thought you didn't know anything about it.

[mykidisthebest]

It's fine if she keeps her recipes to herself. I just thought it would be nice to make some for Aides since he likes sweets.

[picks up his spear that he'd been slowly whittling at and gives it a twirl in his hand]

And I didn't figure it out fast. I had to research it! Any S-Class would have been able to pick up a weapon and use it instantly; looking things up isn't that special. It took longer than it seems like too. I was practicing every night while I was asleep.

[aididitmyway]

Oh... maybe. I'll see. Or I can try to save some for him if she won't.

[. . .]

How... do you practice when you're asleep, though? It still feels fast for me.

[mykidisthebest]

It's like...lucid dreaming? And when I'm asleep I have some skills that let me...pick things up faster, you could say. Blood Fiend said that sometimes people wander into each other's dreams here, so if it happens I can show you. It's kind of hard to explain while you're awake.

[aididitmyway]

It does happen, but I haven't been caught up in them yet.

[it's because she barely sleeps, even when she's sleeping with mafuyu]

[mykidisthebest]

[lyra take a nap]

I haven't either. Maybe we both just got lucky! I wonder if you could try to direct yourself intentionally towards someone's dream...

[aididitmyway]

[make her]

... Maybe. But if people could do that, they'd end up in my dreams, and no one wants to end up in my dreams.

[mykidisthebest]

[just you wait!!]

No? What's wrong with your dreams? If they're full of fuzzy teddy bears I promise to keep it secret.

[aididitmyway]

I wish they were.

I have a lot of nightmares.

[mykidisthebest]

Ah. Nightmares are different from dreams.

Wouldn't it be better if someone else stepped in, though? They could help pull you out of the nightmare.

[aididitmyway]

It can't be that easy. I don't even know how the whole thing works, but—it can't be easy to stop something that bad.

[And she doesn't want Lethe to deal with her PTSD that just so happens to be shaped like her past life, not that she knows that it's PTSD]

[mykidisthebest]

[he's not a therapist he doesn't know what PTSD is either]

Probably not. It's not something that can be fixed overnight, obviously. I know I'm being too optimistic about it. But having nightmares is, well—you already know. You don't get enough sleep, you wake up tired, and it creeps into your life in little annoying ways even when you're awake. So having a potential tool to deal with it sounds too useful not to try, to me.

But if someone falls into your nightmares and you don't want them there, just kick 'em out.

[aididitmyway]

... I'm not sure that's how the dream thing works here, but I'm usually too—

[something something panicky, she just kinda handwaves]

To do anything about anything. I don't know if it'd be the same in that case.

[mykidisthebest]

Yeah...I don't know how it works either...

[lyra these nightmares sound bad, u good...]

Do you sleep okay?

[aididitmyway]

I feel like the answer is an obvious no.

[mykidisthebest]

Do. You want. Me. To try. Helping with that...?

[aididitmyway]

If... you think you have a good way to do it.

[mykidisthebest]

I do. I have a skill that can help someone get a peaceful night's sleep. But the requirements are tricky.

[aididitmyway]

Tricky... how?

[man is there anything u can't do lethe]

[mykidisthebest]

[hes only got support skills but he supports real good]

It requires a high level of trust or it's not as effective. I usually only use it on my brother. But it still has some effectiveness as long as you don't hate me, so it's worth a try?

[aididitmyway]

If I hated you, I wouldn't have told you any of this. BUt—I guess it's worth a try.

[mykidisthebest]

We could always just test it with like, a nap first.

[aididitmyway]

A nap wouldn't be so bad...

[mykidisthebest]

Right now? Or later?

[aididitmyway]

... Is now okay?

Since—I sleep with Sonata a lot, but it's not... really sleep. But she'll bully me if I'm not with her.
