[He's laughing - but also he's definitely put on some concealer this morning to cover up some dark circles under his eyes. The lack of sleep has at least been physically noticeable, even if his demeanor is overall the same.]
[Li-Na glances over at Baren and gives him a sympathetic
smile]
We all got it rough, huh?
[she tilts her head back against the seat and lets out a little
sigh]
Lenalee, my past life, she had a difficult time. A lot of her memories are
really.... scary or sad or just... awful. Sometimes, I just don't
understand how she could deal with all of it.
... did she - have to watch some experiments, by chance? Or maybe she ran into them on accident...
[Though he's quick to add - ]
If you'd rather not think about it, we don't have to... but I think Retrospec's doing some weird shit again. It didn't seem fair for me to hide it from you.
So that really was you. You-you and not a semblance of you that I dreamed up.
[she threads her fingers together on her lap]
I think she saw it by accident. I don't think anyone meant for her to see it anyway. I have another memory from when she's older, and she sees another Fallen One. She tells her friend about when she'd witnessed an experiment, and I think she's referring to the incident I dreamed of last night. Those experiments had since been forbidden.

idk sometime after the dream - text going into action!!
it's not like he doesn't remember wandering into her dream. he's just
not entirely sue what you say to a person after that,,]
scale of one to ten
how bad was your sleep last night
just wondering
and do you think some retail therapy might help
not just wondering
Re: idk sometime after the dream - text going into action!!
Li-Na squints at that, b/c no one 'just wonders' that]
if ten is 'i slept like a baby', about a three
i dreamed about past-me's childhood
which does not make for a restful night
so yes to the retail therapy
no subject
doesn't sound like it
i can relate
i'll pick you up and we'll go to the towers?
i heard of a sale or two
no subject
what kind of sale are we talking about here?
no subject
we'd be fools not to go
no subject
how soon can you be here?
no subject
at a stoplight, head out and i'll be right there
[did he assume she'd say yes
maybe]
no subject
i'll be right out ♥
[and by the time Baren pulls up, she's out front, purse in hand and sunglasses on]
no subject
[endless compliments over here - but he'll even hop out of the car to open the door for her with a little flourish. though he's mostly just playing
he bites back the comment of 'you wouldn't guess you've been having nightmares']
no subject
Thanks Baren. I needed this today.
[that's what the sunglasses are for, to help hide the fact her eyes are a little red]
