Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

[she doesn't respond, too busy tossing, murmuring panicked things in her sleep... not that there's much coherency to it.

but kalim can make out his name being said. that comes out clear as day.]

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Eh...?

[ he shakes her lightly ]

Ruby... I'm right here.

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

[She wakes up with a harsh gasp, breathing hard, give her a second for reality to feel real]

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

It was a bad dream…

[ he says immediately, smoothing her hair lightly, concerned ]

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

[She's just. Instantly throwing her arms around him, still breathing hard, but clinging like something's gonna happen to him if she doesn't hold onto him now.]

I'm sorry, I—

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

[ he strokes her back, once she hugs him tight ]

You don’t have anything to apologize for! It’s okay. I’m here, right?

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

I just—

Dreamt you were dying. Again.

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Oh… I’m not.

[ he leans in to kiss her forehead ]

I’m right here, my moon and stars!

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

I know. I know, I just...

Can't help it sometimes, my sun.

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Yeah...

Is there anything I can do to help...?

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

The only things I can think of are pretty unreasonable here...

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Like what…?

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

Not dying? Not getting hurt? Not getting sucked into some stupid plot that's gonna get us killed because we tried to help some sort of time god?

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Ahahaha... Oh. I guess that really is a lot...

I wish I could promise it would never happen again. But I promise, I am being careful!

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

I know you are. I just... can't help the dreams.

I want you to be safe. And happy.

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Mm... You've said that before. I remember...

I'm happy right now, though.

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

Are you, though?

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Huh?




I think so??

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

Even with everything that's always happening around here?

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Yeah... But I've always been pretty good at picking myself up, and looking on the brighter side of things.

It's not great... But I can be happy when it's like this.

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

You're not just bottling it up, though, right? Like when you were the heart in that one game. . .

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Bottling… ah… Vil said the same thing…

[ he tilts his head a little and flops back to lie next to her ]

I didn’t think I’d be that upset… ever…

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

I don't think there's anything that can prepare anyone for how upset we get here.

Re: FOR KALIM

[goldencharms]

Mnnngh… I’m sorry.

Re: FOR KALIM

[aididitmyway]

... It's not your fault...
