How are you thinking of this place?

Do you think you're a prisoner of some sort of powerful magic or do you think you're dead? Or is it something else?

If it's death, were you close to dying when you then woke up here? Because I know I wasn't. I cannot die so if this is death, I have some questions.

I know you do. I didn't say you didn't.

[exilire]

Could have fooled me.

[dreamlords]

I never used those words.

[exilire]

No, but you implied that you don't trust what comes out of my mouth.

If this is at all about my behavior at the festival [ - never too late to broach this sensitive topic, right? ] - you know that I wasn't myself, that night, don't you?

[dreamlords]

I haven't been thinking about that.

And do you trust everything I say?

[exilire]

Honestly? Yes, I trust everything that you tell me.

[dreamlords]

You realize how dangerous that is.

[exilire]

You don't lie, and you're virtually incapable of sarcasm.

Tell me why it's dangerous then to trust what comes out of your mouth?

[dreamlords]

I don't mean from me.

[exilire]

I don’t trust anyone else.

[dreamlords]

You only trust me? Out of everyone here?

[exilire]

Don't take it to mean something other than the fact that I know you, and I know you're trustworthy.

[dreamlords]

I don't.

I don't think I'd put all my trust in one person though.

[exilire]

I think we have to give some concessions, if we want to survive in this place.

[dreamlords]

Just don't only rely on me. We have no idea what this place is going to do to us.

[exilire]

So you'd have me relying on someone else here, as well?

That sounds more dangerous to me than simply taking my chances only with you.

[dreamlords]

What happens if I disappear?

[exilire]

I'd probably horde your belongings.

[ deadpan snark is not that easy to convey over text, though, so - ]

If you disappeared, the likeliest explanation would be because you'd been sent back to our worlds. Hopefully I'd be accompanying you.

[dreamlords]

What belongings?
