Crystal watched the nurse come closer and listened to her explain. If his movements and admittedly endearing ear wiggles were truly him trying to listen, even if subconsciously, there was a lot of reassurance that came with that for the girl.

She then looked back at Fiona as she sensed her moving and watched her while she moved her hand. A thoughtful look crossed her face and she turned her gaze back to Crimson, observing him for a moment too.

Crystals eyes drifted to his hand in particular. She was doing everything she could to not get her hopes up.. This didn’t necessarily mean anything, just that it was possible he was picking up on them being there.. But despite her efforts, her mind was really stuck on it and she couldn’t help her next line of thought..

‘If he might be able to hear things.. Maybe he can feel too..’ She thought to herself, hesitating a moment before slowly reaching out a carefully lacing her fingers with his.

At the first touch Crimson's hand tensed up, he didn't like to be touched but he didn't recoil away, as the girl laced her fingers with his he knew this feeling...he squeezed her hand as a soft smile came to the sleeping shapeshifter face and he whispered "...you found me..." a shimmering tear made its way down his cheek, he wasn't lost and alone anymore, Crystal came...

Fiona watched as Crystal held Crimson's hand, and the kind of reaction that came from him afterwards. At first she was even more surprised, but then it made a faint smile appear on her face. She'd known about the two being very close already, but actually seeing how much this meant to Crimson was heartwarming.

...And she knew especially now she needed to be quiet, so she did just that.

Dreamcatcher scratches his chin and thought " not necessarily, you might have my brother memories but you do things differently then him, if Weaver got back what belongs to him, like his body and heart he be whole again, but who to say you can't get your own body, heart and well a soul... if you had those you be your own person with your own choices between right and wrong..."

" yeahhhhh, as it is, being a Nightmare will only get you so far, your not going to get very far in life and it not going to have much meaning to it " Rihanna comments

Dreameater scrunches up his face again. "I don't want a heart or a soul! I don't want to be a whole-chest like you! You're stupid!" Eater snaps.

"Eater!" Morning Glory snaps back, frowning at him.

"You're all stupid!" Eater continues, "You and your freaky emotions, and your love, and your freaking face-sucking...!" He sticks his tongue out and makes a hissing gag. "I'm perfectly great as a Nightmare, and I /will/ live forever, I just have to figure things out first! I don't even need a 'meaning,' as long as I can eat and kill people, I'll be happy!" He then huffs and crosses his arms again, sticking his nose up in the air.

Morning Glory breathes out a sigh.

As she felt Crimson squeeze her hand in response to her touch, the girl took in and let out a shaky breath.. Her eyes then widened for just a moment when the shifter spoke something she could actually understand and her gaze was pulled over to his face.

Seeing the soft smile of his and the tear rolling down his cheek made Crystal feel like something hit her in the chest, but just a split second later the turnaround felt almost like she could finally breathe again.. This seemed different from his reactions a few minutes ago, and part of her wanted to feel this couldn’t be just subconscious this time too..

‘There he is..’ she thought, giving his hand a small squeeze in return and lowering her head slightly so it would be harder for others to see her own eyes tearing up a bit.

Crimson continue to hold Crystal hand it was both firm as if not to lose her again and yet his grip was gentle, he knew who hand held his and he not only trusted the girl but he treasured her...

The room was still with what was transpiring, this was truly yes touching scene, none of the staff had ever seen the dragon prince smile before... the nurse who greeted the small group held her clipboard close to her chest and covered the lower half of her face, her own tears started to form in her eyes.

Many had formed bad opinions or fears about the red prince, that Crimson was some kind of monster or was well on his way to being one but seen this shifted some previous opinions.

Catch and Anna both looked at the Nightmare blankly at his rant.
The Fairfin let out a sigh and Shrugged // he hopeless Cat //

//...maybe in time?...//Dreamcatcher took a hand and rubbed his forehead//... though I'm getting the feeling he not going to want to change, he has no reason to.... Nightmares really are less then creatures they don't have full emotions and their soulless.....it was stupid of me to try...//

// well I don't think you should give up so quickly... I mean you only just thought up about the idea// she case her eyes towards the pouting Nightmare //... it does make me wonder, what would Eater even be like if he was a person? Would he still be a jerk or would he be an actual good guy?//

//...I'm really glad you reached him, Crystal.// Fiona thought to herself, remaining quiet.
//There's no way Crimson's bad. Not when he can react like this--even in his sleep.// She could feel a little something welling up in her own eyes as she observed the way the two shared that moment.

Morning Glory thinks for a moment before she decides to say something. //... His only concern is living right now, but there's not much threatening him at the moment, other than the Vaseterm. That's why he's cooperating with them right now. The thought of us bringing back Weaver and killing him is something he knows about, but I think he's not taking it seriously, I don't think he really thinks we can just yet. That's where I'm wondering what he'll do when we do start getting things around, what'll he do then?// She pauses, glancing over at the Nightmare, //Don't be so hard on yourself, Catch. Maybe he'll remember what you said later and he'll change his mind.//

Dreameater glares at Catch and the two Fairfin. "Hey, just because I can't hear you guys doesn't mean I can't tell you're up to no good, plotting something behind my back, except you're in front of my face..." he growls suspiciously.

Dreamcatcher Crack his fingers and peak at the Nightmare though them // guess we were kind of obvious...//

Rihanna folded her arms and raised her head and snapped " for your information /moron/ we weren't plotting anything bad or nasty about you! in fact, Catch was trying to think on how to keep you alive " the Fairfin tapping her foot and add " so you should be thankful, there plenty of people who want you dead, me included but if Catch things there might be hope for something as worthless as you I'll at least give him the chance to try "

"You've gotta be kidding me, right?" Eater snaps back, "He wants to save Weaver! I want to kill Weaver! I want to stay in this body and do what I want, Catch wants Weaver to have control again! I'm not a moron! It's obvious he wants to kill me too!"

Dreamcatcher slides his head slowly down on the table and let's his arms cover his head// .... there at it again...I'm to tired for this...//

" why would I lie?! I'm not no two face Nightmare! " Anna flashy colors of Orange, she flies up and gets right in Dreameater face as she continues her verbal assault " You know nothing about Catcher do you?! Despite you being a cruel and horrible creature, one that deserves to die! We already know we're going to save Weaver! But He at least try to give you a chance! But an attitude like that he shouldn't even bother!"

"Hey! That's not true!" Eater shouts, standing up again and slamming his hands on the table again, "I know Catch is afraid of heights, he has thirty-seven cousins--half of which he doesn't even know that well and eight of them are the ones he actually hangs out with! I know he knows how to play guitar, and he learned that from one of his cousins, and one time when we were hanging out at his place with his cousins, we tried to make hot chocolate, but Catch's parents were out of milk, so we used Keeper's coffee creamer instead! DO YOU KNOW HOW SICKENINGLY SWEET THAT WAS?!" he curls his right hand into a fist and slams it on the table again. "THAT'S WHY YOU ONLY--"

"Ok, ok, we all get it," Morning Glory quickly pipes up, flying off of Catch to get between Anna and Eater and she holds her paws up to Anna, saying, "But I think we've all had enough of this. Anna, I know I helped you with Eater earlier, but I think you need to tone it down now, all this stress isn't good for Catch..." //And I'm sure it's tiring Weaver out too, even if Eater isn't showing it...// she thinks to herself, then continues, looking at Eater now, "And you need to try to calm down too, you keep making a scene and making everything worse. Weren't we just talking earlier about how important it is to try and help Catch?"

Dreameater held his breath after his shouting was interrupted, and he kept holding it after Glory stepped in. He only starts to let it out in a quiet growl as he watches Anna, waiting to see what she does first.

Crystal stayed quiet for a minute, knowing she wouldn’t be able to get any words out just yet. Crimsons apparent mindful responses made her wonder what it meant for his health and coma-like state.. And made her wonder if this was a good sign.

She eventually blinked a few extra times and used her free hand to wipe her face a bit. Slowly looking up, she glanced around but couldn’t quite bring herself to really make eye contact with anyone. The girl wasn’t sure what to do next, or what to say to anyone either.. Crystal was awkward enough in any normal setting, but given the situation, added with everyone silent and observing, she felt particularly awkward about it all

Dreamcatcher let out a frustrated moan as the Nightmare rambled about facts he knew about him "... that wasn't what she was getting at..."

" ok, I think it about time we separ- " the guard started but the Dreamer prince interrupted him when he stood up " its fine " and he started to leave.

" Cat?.." Anna asked with her ears pin back, by the tone of her partner, Catch was far from fine " were you going?"
The Dreamer prince stopped for a moment " I'm going to get some fresh air " he glance over his shoulder " I took all that I could right now from you two bickering, if Eater doesn't want help then drop it, it's not helping him and it not helping my brother " then Catch emerald eyes landed on Eater, there was sadness and disappointment in them as he slightly shook his head, then let out a heavy sigh when he looked away, not saying a word to the Nightmare, he didn't feel like wasting any more breath on him and started for the exit...

" Cat?..." Rihanna colors tuned pale with her partner walking off so defeated, she hurried after him

Dreameater looked like he was about to say something when the guard first started to speak up, but then after Catch interrupted him and said his piece, he simply stood there and stared. He stared back at Catch when his brother looked at him, and the only movement he made was simply standing more upright with his arms at his side as he watched him go.

Morning Glory turns deep shades of blue as she likewise watches Dreamcatcher leave, and she sits down on the table next to Dreameater. She looks up at him, noticing the concentrated, still rather angry look on his face, and she glances over at the guards, but she doesn't say anything just let, letting the situation sink in and hopefully cool off a bit first.

The guard folded his arms as he watched the Dreamer prince leaving, he cut his eyes to the Nightmare... the other guard following Loosely behind Dreamcatcher, in the time time that passed Catch and Anna were now gone " that could have gone a lot better "

Morning Glory looks back at her partner when the guard speaks up. In some ways, she's surprised he didn't try to convince Catch to stay or go after him himself. She can tell by his face that he's having a hard time calming down, however.

Indeed, it isn't long before he snaps again. He turns suddenly to the guard and sounds like he's barely holding himself back from shouting. "I'm not supposed to be this angry!" he declares as he takes a few steps towards the guard, "I've never been this angry before!! But it's so hard to control! It's unnatural! And I can't even feel guilty! What am I supposed to do!?" He holds his hands up in front of himself in a gesture that looks like he's either trying to plead for help or prepping to strangle the guard. "I need to do something to get this FIXED!! Where's that scientist lady?! I'll go do tests or anything, I just need to do something!!"

Crimson was at peace holding the human girl hand, and it was clear with the soft smile on his face, this wasn't much different then when he was completely blind, the world around him was dark and quiet, but he came to trust her touch and he could finally let himself be happy.
Everyone was letting the human girl and dragon shapeshifter have some time and were trying to be as quiet as possible and give what privacy they could, however they couldn't neglect their duties either, The nurse and doctor had been taking notes, but when the human girl looked unsure and lost on what to the the nurse from before can we walked up and tried " wake up sir Crimson you have guest~" A deep frown came across the red prince face and he muttered harshly those words he use before from a different language.

The nurse sigh " he very stubborn isn't he?" She thinks outloud, she then looked down at the girl and placed a hand on Crystal shoulder " you two have a very special Bond, why don't you try to reach out to him? He seems to recognize your voice, why not talk to him more?" She then stepped back giving the girl some room seeing how awkwardly shy she was.

Fiona needed a moment herself to put those tears back where they belonged...
She could also tell the silence of the room was making things a little awkward again for Crystal, judging by how she was looking around.
...But if the Elemental spoke up, wouldn't that bug Crimson again? Something needed to get said, though--

And then the nurse spoke, trying to wake up Crimson.
After that attempt, Fiona stepped back to give the Vaseterm room as she put one hand on Crystal's shoulder and gave a good suggestion... //Crimson's unhappy whenever /anybody/ else talks... If I just say something fast, he won't have to hear as long!//

"You could tell him about our day or something he likes?" Fiona added her two cents all in one rather quick go... Then just gave Crystal another little smile--no acknowlegement of how strange that may have been.

The guard tensed up as the Nightmare draw closer, he wasn't going to take any chances with how unpredictable Dreameater was, he was ready to fight but knew to be careful with his actions so not to provoke an attack " you need to calm down sir" he slowly and cautiously does a calm down gesture " a call has already been placed, and I been advise to escort you back to your room "

Crystal watched the nurse come up and attempt to talk to Crimson, only to get an unpleasant response.. The girl looked up at said nurse when she touched her on the shoulder and prompted her to try to talk more. And then her head turned toward Fiona as she piped in with some ideas too, and she gave a small nod in return, feeling her suggestions might be a good place to start at least.

Crystal turned her eyes back to Crimson and gathered her thoughts the best she could. The way the others kept saying ’reach out’ stuck with her.. She had quite literally reached out in order to take his hand, and that had been effective. But there still seemed to be something missing.. “Well.. Not much has really happened today so far.. Fiona came to check on me again this morning, and we went together to get food. It was a bit loud and crowded where we went at first, but we found a calmer place to talk and eat.. And because I get the feeling you’d probably ask, yes, they do have hamburgers. But they seem to have a lot to choose from, so you could try something else if you wanted to. After that though, we came here to visit and check on you, and that’s pretty much been everything so far.”

She paused for a moment then added, “It feels like we’re going to be at this new place for a while, so when you wake up, and after you get back on your feet a bit, maybe we could find something to do together too.”

Crimson slept there peacefully as the girl explained how her morning has gone,his ears were much more alert picking up every tone of Crystals voice, his expression shifted from neutral to soft smiles as she spoke and he gently squeeze her hand... it was like before, before he got his eye back, were everything around him seem dark, pointless and without hope, and yet there was still a light, a hand holding his though everything and a soft voice letting him know he wasn't alone.

The red prince ears perked up at the mention of a hamburger and choke chuckle Escape his mouth, He tuned his head towards her and just listened and he was happy do so.

"I... Gghhh..." Dreameater hisses, seemingly trying his absolute hardest not to snap back or lash out anymore. He manages to slowly nod his head. "J-just, go to the room? Just get to my room," he repeats, crossing his arms as he slowly starts to walk away.

//Poor Weaver...// Morning Glory thinks, carefully flying over and landing on top of her partner's hat. //We'll figure out something to get Eater more under control though, I'm sure of it.//

Fiona once again observed Crystal interacting with the sleeping prince. Even with the day being simple, the Elemental felt as though they really had come a long way since the beginning of the week--all three of them in different ways. Though, there was still a lot on her mind...

As Crystal shared the fact that hamburgers were an option and Crimson chuckled, Fiona exhaled a forcibly quiet, small laugh of her own, then found a chair to sit in. She was just a short distance from Crystal and the nurse, in a good place to view what was happening with Crimson, too.

After a moment of watching, the Air Elemental pulled out a particular book and opened it up. It was one Boreas had delivered to her from the nice Bellezza at the temple. The two used it to keep contact between Death and the group.
'...Hey Death! Crystal and I are visiting Crimson again today. He's trying to talk to us in his sleep when we say stuff!'

The guard knew the situation with the Nightmare and wondered that this definitely had to be because of him being some freaky Nightmare and Dreamer fused together// this is all kinda of wrong....// the guard nodded " alright let get you back " he then started to lead the way ( other guards would follow behind Eater as they go)

For most of the walk back, Eater was alright, occasionally grunting or making quiet "mmmfs", but at one point he stopped when he wasn't too far from the room. Suddenly he seems terrified.

"Eater? What's wrong, why'd you stop?" Morning Glory asks, looking down at him curiously.

Dreameater stares straight ahead with wide eyes, flinching slightly when Glory speaks up. "I don't want to go to my room anymore," he whispers, "What's he doing there...? Oh no..."

The male guard looked behind him when he heard the small commotion " what Is it now? Were almost there " he commented and continued.

Just up ahead standing in the hallway in front of the Nightmares room was the tall Minotaur, Angus had his arms folded and his head tipped so the lights glared off them as he pushed his glasses into place "

"I made a scene--Angus is going to kill me!" Dreameater whispers fearfully, "I didn't try to kill anyone though!" He glances over at the guard. "Are you taking me to Angus to kill me?! I know I was yelling at you guys earlier, but I didn't try to kill you!" he quietly shouts.

" what? " the guard replied a bit puzzled but then realized what the Nightmare was getting at " that you did and no you didn't " he then smirked " try to think a bit more Nightmare, if you were going to be killed I would have done it already "

Angus would wait until the Nightmare pass holding his glasses glare

Dreameater slowly narrows his eyes at the guard. "... Unless you're to weak to kill me on your own, so you're leading me into a trap!" he declares.

Morning Glory pats Eater's hat to get his attention. "No Eater, this isn't a trap, you should know that... Come on, Angus isn't going to kill you for what happened."

As little smiles appeared on Crimsons face, and after he seemingly chuckled at her mention of hamburgers, Crystals expression relaxed a bit more again and looked a little less anxious. She wasn’t sure simply talking would do much to help anything, but so long as the shifter knew she was there by his side, that was good enough for her.

She tried to think about what else to say, but not much came to mind at first. Crystal just kind of sat there for a moment, lightly brushing her thumb back and forth over his hand. When she finally spoke again, her voice was a little quieter than before, “Thinking about it, it really hasn’t been a whole lot of time since we last actually talked, and hopefully this doesn’t sound too silly, but regardless I still miss you.”

" I'm not the weak one here bucko! " The guard snapped at the Nightmare, he then paused realizing something " what a minute? You can sense Sir Angus from here?"

The guard then rises his eyebrow, the Nightmare was truly scared of him " ok, first of all he not going to kill you without the queen permission without probable cause... like you said you didn't attempt to kill any one of us /but/ you were out of line " he then nodded towards the hallway to keep going " granted Angus is known for his killer eyes... don't Nightmares have some kind of survival instincts? maybe you can sense his enmity?"

" don't go scaring him more! And if Angus heard you talking about his eyes like that you should be sacred to " the woman guard snapped back." its not a trap, trust me " she said a little softer to the Nightmare. " oh fine! I was just trying to get him back " Wheatley snapped back at her.

Death had been doing his routine and got into a habit of waiting for his new friend to write to him around this time ' Hello Fiona! That good to hear, that more then he has been doing * smile face *...do you think Crimson will wake up soon? If he trying to talk? ' he was hesitant in asking if they could tell who it really was, but maybe he should wait a bit before asking that question so he ask a different one ' on a little bit different notr, if you don't mind me asking how is everyone holding up on your end?'

Dreameater eyes the guards suspiciously and he makes a face at Wheatley when he describes his Nightmare senses, but he breathes out an exasperated sigh. "Fine..." he mutters, giving both the guards a glare, "But if this is a trap and he does kill me... I'll get you for this."

After that rather empty threat, he cautiously starts walking again while Morning Glory waves a paw at the guards in a dismissive gesture, as if to say, "Don't worry about that."

Another tear rolled down Crimson face from the girl words, he felt her Gentle Touch and return a firm squeeze"...C-rystal...I..." he didn't want to let Crystal go, the dragon shapeshifter miss her so much,he didn't even know if this was really or not, was he still dreaming? Crimson grimaced he wanted to wake up but was he already? He couldn't see right? but that was normal right? He was blind his world was dark in a different way now but no, that wasn't right, he seen her, he knows he did and this felt different, his body was heavy in a different way, was he still in bed? He was supposed to get something done wasn't he? He wasn't sure, Crimson shifted some as he was getting frustrated and grumbled doing so, he wanted to open his eyes

Wheatley wasn't going to take a threat like that seriously, he just shrug It Off and went on.

It wasn't long before Angus can into view... the tall Minotaur waited until the group got closer before speaking " I was not expecting it to only be one hour since our talk Dreameater... you broke my own expectations "
he pushed up his glasses up " we have much to discuss, you and I... " and with that message he let the group pass to go inside

Dreameater stays tense the whole time and only gets more tense when Angus comes into view, but he doesn't even so much as look up at the minotaur. He doesn't say anything and stares at the floor as he heads on in through the door, wanting to get as far away from Angus as quickly as possible. He stands right up to the wall as they go through the scan, and then once they're in the room, Dreameater stiffly walks a little ways into it, only hesitating to see if Angus will do or say anything in particular.

'I really hope he does! He needs as much rest as he can get too. We're making progress, either way!' Fiona wrote in return, continuing to glance up occasionally.

'Crystal's doing a lot better. It's been a fight against the gusts, but she seems happier being able to talk with Crimson. We've been getting to know each other more, too!

From when I've seen him, Catch has been doing pretty well. He's been working hard through his storm, but he's been taking charge a lot more, too! And we got a message from Glory that they woke Weaver up!
We haven't seen them yet, but that's next on our list.

Purity's still sleeping, too. But she's safe, at least.

And I'm hanging in there, too!'

After a short pause, the Elemental continued even further--writing a veritable novel.

'How have things been for you over there?
And Terra and Sparky?'

At first Angus says nothing, he waits until they get inside but then he signaled for the guards to leave them.... he still says nothing as the door closes and locks...

For a moment Angus stood there, holding stone posture he had been, no emotion could be seen though the glare of this glasses, and he finally said "....Eater.... Eater... do you know why I was summon?" he push his glasses up.

Dreameater slowly tries to make his way to the farthest corner of the room, since Angus didn't tell him to sit or go anywhere. "Because I'm stupid, sir, and I didn't control my temper..." he fearfully answers, still not even turning to look at Angus.

Crystal looked over at the shifters face when he said her name, but her eyebrows soon knit together with concern as Crimson started to grumble and move around, seemingly rather displeased with something..

She wasn’t sure what it could be this time, given everyone else was quiet and that had been the only thing so far to upset him. The thing she could think of though was maybe what she said previously, and that lead her to worriedly add, “B-but it’s okay, I know we’ll be able to talk again soon enough.”

" you are correct" Angus replied bluntly, he didn't move from his spot but never took his eyes off the Nightmare.

The Minotaur raised a hand and flattened his palm and a magic hologram appeared, it played out the scene that took place in the Cafe " your little reunion with your brother did not fare well now did it?"

Morning Glory has to hop off of Eater's hat at one point because he tips his head down to stare at the floor better, so she goes and lands on one of the Fairfin perches in the room.

It seems like Dreameater isn't entirely sure what to do with himself. He's standing in the corner of the room with his back to Angus, his head tipped down, and standing straight and as stiff as a pillar, keeping an eye on Angus using his Nightmare senses instead. He doesn't move from this spot. "No, I snapped at his Fairfin, then I didn't help him, and I snapped at his Fairfin again," he answers honestly.

'That great news! Knowing your team members is always important on quest...You all keep hanging in there, even if it a little at a time you will get there eventually " Death reply back. He looked up at one of his cats before continuing on " well over here been doing about the same in its own way, Eira and Rehab are doing better and have been settling well with their tasks... as for Sparky and Terra... Sparky is doing well, we been talking a lot...I learned a lot more about what he is... but as it goes with Terra... ... not much has changed unfortunately... he will do things now when asked him to do stuff but..." he looked up, trying to find the words to used for this ' Terra needs hope... so the news about Crimson and Dreamweaver will be refreshing I think, and with you Crystal and Dreamcatcher are doing better to I'm sure will help to! It just Purity that still sleeping... I have been wondering if Crimson has been responding to Crystal maybe Purity will do the same for someone to? '

Fiona was very attentive as Death's response came in.
'That's great to hear!' She started in return, glad to know at least Eira, Rahab, and Sparky were doing good. 'Yes, please let Terra know! I'd like to visit him with the group too, or at least send him something!'

The Dreamer had been in the back of the Elemental's mind all week. She tried to make sure herself and the group had some form of contact with him every day--the largest of which had been a page she'd full on ripped out of her diary and given for him to keep.
...She felt a bit of kinship with Crystal in that way. Both of them had really special people to be really especially worried about right now.

The last part of Death's message caught her attention, too.
'I bet Purity would respond! Especially since she's so sensitive!
Weaver could totally get her to react-*a long dash spilled out of the cross of the 't' as her thought process flew*-but Eater'd get in the way! We'll have to tackle him, first.'

" all within a short period of time " Angus added on after the Nightmare " and here the prince was going on about how you would behave... not even a dog will bite the hand that feeds them...you may not like him or his Fairfin, but he is the reason why you have the freedoms you have right now, why you have this den... "

"I know sir, I am very stupid," Eater answers again, "I'm angry because of Weaver and I am very stupid, so I lash out. I like being angry because Weaver doesn't like being angry and I like being evil but that doesn't help Catch with Nightmare Syndrome, I tried to be friendly to him but it didn't help at all, and then I lashed out again because I wanted to, because I'm stupid. What're you gonna do to me...?"

" Crystal..." Crimson repeated, he stopped fighting to wake up for the moment, why was it so hard to wake up? "...Crystal " he mumbled again... it was quite in his mind, only his thoughts which felt unnatural, it was like being alone but hearing Crystal voice was comforting but it sounded off //... what did she say?...talk soon?... were talking now?... // his ears twitched and his eyelids fluffed, he gently squeezed Crystal hand, he couldn't make out what the girl said but he knew the tone " ... I'm here... Crystal... I'm here.."

' I will let Terra know! I think it be good for you guys to stop by again sometime... I know things have been crazy lately and your group is still recovering but whenever you get the chance it would be well if everyone could at some point ' there had been much decision between the Bellezzas on the matters at hand and there involvement.

' lol, Eater won't know what hit him! I can see it already, a pile up on the Nightmare, a dog pile... hehe oh I'm not so good at the joke like Dr.Kwanzo is... I hope you get what I mean ' the Bellezzas face turned flush with embarrassment,
Writing was always easier than talking to people but ether way he tend to over think ' ... Anyway I'm not a fan of him ether, anything of the devils will only cause more harm... I have been wondering what would happen to Eater again if he was brought here again... unfortunately I do think he likely start to break down Weaver body again so a blessing would have to be placed if he were to come..."

" you are correct again "he replied Sternly and summon his gun for the answer to the Nightmare question and took a shot at Eater...

But Dreameater could sense Angus lifting his arm, and so before he had even summoned his weapon, Dreameater ducked out of the way--though he didn't stop there, quickly whipping around to face Angus and summoning his sword... Then he freezes in place, not seeming to know what to do next. He appears caught between an aggressive, threatening stance, pointing his sword at Angus, and a frightened one, as he lowers the blade ever-so-slightly. He doesn't say anything.

Morning Glory tenses up and bites her lip, watching this interaction. //Come on Eater, don't do something really stupid...// she quietly tells him telepathically.

Angus now had both his guns up and pointing at the Nightmare but he did not follow up his shot /yet/ he held his weapons with confidence at the Nightmare, he was not afraid of him nor was he bound by friendship to save Weaver " now mister Dreameater I have a few questions for you... you need to think, and think hard you stupid Nightmare, because what you do from here will decide if you live or die... you need to think, what got you in this mess? What do you think the outcome will be if you repeat it again?"

Fiona glanced again, hearing Crimson actually speak. She wondered if he was waking up, but he still sounded pretty sleepy.
...Most importantly, it was sweet hearing his pure, comforting words to Crystal.
A part of her wished she bring the same comfort to Terra.
But for now, she looked back down at the book.

She had to remember what 'lol' meant. Laugh out loud, right? Well, the next part of what Death wrote definitely made her worrisome look lighten up a little.
'No, I get it!' She started her own form of text-book-talk, a much quicker, messier doodle than her usual ones.
This one was of a dog with a sword. A dog-knight ready to make a dog-pile.
'Dogs are good for piling on top of people.

I REALLY can't thank you enough for helping us out. I'll have to check with everybody to see what they think about visiting. Especially with bringing Weaver and Eater. I wonder if that would help Weaver out again?'

Dreameater doesn't move or say anything, not changing his posture anymore or anything, but him being so on guard like this is making Morning Glory nervous. She hops off the perch and flies a bit closer to him, still out of the way of Angus and far enough away from Eater to make sure she doesn't accidentally get hit if he suddenly moves. "Eater, come on, say your thoughts out loud, I can help you," she offers, really hoping that he'll take her up on it. "I can tell you brain's going a mile a minute..."

The Nightmare doesn't say anything right away, but he does, very slowly, inch his head a little bit towards Glory's direction, his eyes still locked on Angus. "... He's trying to kill me," he whispers to her, though not that quietly, and then the floodgates of his mouth open, getting back to normal volume by the time he's done. "I need to defend myself, he's actually going to kill me, but he's a Vaseterm, they're not supposed to kill me, but he's going to kill me, but I can't kill him, if I kill him, he'll kill me, or the Queen might kill me, I'm not supposed to kill them, I shouldn't kill them, but he's trying to kill me! But I didn't kill any of the Vaseterm, so he shouldn't be trying to kill me, if I let him try to kill me will he not kill me?"

It takes Morning Glory a second to take all that in, but she puts her paws up in a calming gesture to begin with. "... Ok. Well, you can start by dropping your weapon, and then think about--" Glory started to say, but paused when Eater nonchalantly drops Loyalty on the floor as she's talking. "--Think about what he said to you."

"I... I got in trouble because of how I reacted to things..." Eater mutters, slowly lowering his arms to his sides and standing more upright, "So if I let him try to kill me, he won't kill me...? Ok, I won't react..."

And then he stands there, staring blankly at Angus.

Crystal started to study Crimson a little more closely.. Maybe the girl wasn’t doing a good enough job at controlling her hope, but something inside her was suddenly clinging on to each little mumble and movement.. Almost as if even though she wasn’t meaning to, she was waiting for one of those to be the moment..

When Crimson gently tightened his hold on her hand again and mumbled that he was there, Crystal was still for a second, but then moved her seat closer to his bed. As a way of hopefully providing more reassurance and comfort she took her free hand and placed it around the other side of his, so his hand was now enclosed in both of hers. “I’m so glad to hear that..” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

As she continued to watch Crimson, she found herself searching.. Searching for him, but in a different kind of way.. It was more of a deeper sense or feeling rather than actual sight. Sensing others was something she knew she was capable of, but could nearly never fully do by choice, it just sort of happened from time to time due to her magic.. And at this point, Crystal hadn’t even realized she had closed her eyes. Or that she had started humming ever so softly..

Crimson said he was there, but maybe if she could find him in a different kind of way.. Then maybe he could truly wake up..
