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?"

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..." 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..."

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?'

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..

Angus didn't even react to when Eater dropped his weapon, he waited until the Nightmare was done said " correct, you were warned that they be consequences to your actions and behavior and some of those can cost your life... remember that mister Dreameater " he then tip his head up slightly and he tips his one of his guns upwards " however it seems Sir Whitesoul Fairfin just saved your life, perhaps you're not as incompetent as you perceive "

Dreameater stands there and watches Angus closer than a hawk.

Morning Glory breathes out a sigh of relief, but then she isn't sure where to go from here. Eater's listening to Angus, and he did listen to her, but now what? It seems like he's just going to keep pretending to be a statue. "... You know, I'm pretty sure if you were able to get ahold of your temper, you wouldn't have to meet Angus like this," she simply tells Eater.

Eater casts a glance over at Glory, but he still doesn't say anything.

Death watch as the doodle appeared on the page and he chuckle at that, his feather ears bonds with amusement and he replied with 'lol' and his own doodle with a cat in a poorly drawn armor with a sword ' well do our best to put an end to the devils work '
He then thought about his reply to the rest of Fiona message and he smiled a bit about that ' your welcome Fiona, happy to help, we all are...and you know you and your friends are welcome to visit whenever you're able to, I think you're friends here would appreciate that to! ' he then made a face thinking about the Nightmare and Dreamer problem...' I have no doubt that it help Weaver out, I'm sure anyone in his shoes would need one, It just getting Eater here, evil can not stand in the light and I'm sure if he knew wear he was going he wouldn't want to go '

[ Crimson was surrounded by darkness, he could hear the muffled sound and familiar voices but there was one that had stood out, a voice he knew well and he called out to her ' Crystal?! I'm here!' His determination drove him to follow her voice and as Crystal Humm her song light began to break though the cracks // that her song!//His heart quickens as he calls ' Crystal!' And the dragon shapeshifter runs towards the light, Colors begin to fill the world around until it gets to bright to see.]

Crimson slow opened his eye, and his gaze went to sweet voice of the girl who found him, he laid there not caring or noticing anyone else in the room, or that he had tubes connected to himself, all that matter was that Crystal was there, as he listened to her humming a warm smile came to his face.

A few different options pop in his mind how he could break the new he was awake, but he didn't want to startled Crystal so he decided to do something special, he didn't want to think about it to much or he might chicken out but this was Crystal he doing this for, so the red prince began to Humm the girl song with her, and as he did so Crimson gently placed his other hand to cup hers as well.

Though one of this guns was pointed away Angus still held one towards the Nightmare " I'm sure you know mister Dreameater that it is a Fairfin job to ensure a Dreamer survival, I want you to think, how do they do that?"

"By... burning the Dreamer's heart reflection when they have signs of Nightmare Syndrome... and by being smarter than me..." Eater cautiously replies.

Catcher and Anna talk a bit as they walk, she apologized for letting things get out of hand and the two of them talked about that to...

After a bit of that Catch decided to go visit Purity, he wanted someone else like family to talk to.
The Dreamer prince made his way to the closest portal, he didn't really take note of the time of the traveling procedures, he was still just existing.

" time zones are always weird no matter what world you're on" Anna commented.
The Dreamer prince Shrugged at that. it wasn't long before Catch and Anna arrived at the medical Wing that Purity was being kept, he almost forgot about the guard following him until they arrived and said he'd wait outside. After thanking the guard Catch and Anna went inside.

" greetings master Dreamcatcher and lady Rihanna " Suzano gave a small bow to greet the two.
Dreamcatcher blush a little and returned a small bow " hello miss Suzano"
" Hi miss Suzano!" Anna followed.

Dreamcatcher then went on to visit Purity and Serenity

Serenity of course had been keeping a close eye on her partner while she slept, right now in particular she's sitting on Purity's feet, but with Catch and Anna coming in, she hops up and hovers mid-air, waving at the two of them. "Hey Catch and Anna! You all came to check on Purity again? ... What're you doing wearing Eater's cape, though?" she asks.

A smile came to Fiona's face as she watched Death's matching cat doodle form on other page as well. She liked the team-up of their drawings.
'YEAH we will!' She wrote back, emphasizing her already-emphasized capital letters.
Then she looked over the rest of his message...
'Eater will have to just deal with it. Visiting everyone and getting Weaver as much help as we can is way more important.' Actually, a list of way more important things than Eater not wanting to go was still a massive pool in her mind, too.
But she remembered now wasn't the time to talk about all of that. Especially not as a new sound met her ears.

The Elemental looked up and leaned a little to see what was going on with Crystal and Crimson... Had he woken up? She had a hopeful curiosity as she found that their humming actually matched.

" correct " Angus replied, he then added " however in your case burning a heart that doesn't exist will do nothing but kill you, which that will results in sir Whitesoul death as well so that Is not relevant at this moment, which leads to the last part of your statement mister Dreameater. " he pulled back the hammer to the gun still pointing at the Nightmare " now what will you listen to mister Dreameater, your instincts which got you in this mess or the Fairfin that keep you alive this long?"

"I should listen to Glory, I'm going to listen to Glory," Eater replies, standing perfectly still. "I'm going to listen to Glory, sir...!"

//At least he's listening...// Morning Glory thinks, //Though how he keeps repeating stuff is kinda weird... I guess he's just scared.//

" Hay Serenity! " she flew over to greet her friend with a hug.

Catch went to return his greeting but didn't, he got distracted " wait, what?..." he then remembered " oh, right.. I try to have other vision and like last time nothing happened other then making me feel sick and cool so Eater gave me his shoulder cap to help with the cold " he said with a bit of dryness to his tone.

" if you want your life to be extended then yes, you should... now that settled " Angus replied coldly, the Minotaur lower his other gun " how about we have a more civilized conversation?"

Serenity gives Anna a big hug in return, and then raises an eyebrow at Catch. "Aww, I'm sorry to hear that, that's nice of Eater to let you steal his cape though. I guess he's not gonna miss it too much," she says, then looks over to Purity. "As for her... Well, she's still been sleeping like she's pricked her finger on a spinning wheel, but she's alright so far."

At first Crystal couldn’t feel or sense anything in particular.. In fact, if she were to try to describe it, it almost seemed dark and empty.. She wasn’t even sure what would happen exactly, or what kind of feeling she was searching for, she just knew she couldn’t let herself give up so soon..

Crystal forced herself to block out what she could, all the little sounds around the room from people or machines.. A couple moments later suddenly she felt.. called to. Something pulled at her attention and in a way, she grasped onto that and followed it. Soon a familiar mix of feelings slowly swelled up in her chest. It was a combination of warmth, safety, trust, friendship.. But what stuck out the most was love.. and the closer she got to it, the less dark and scary everything seemed. Unless she was wrong, she had found him.. To her, this was Crimson.

At this point, she didn’t know what to do next. She had gotten farther than expected, and she simply took the next moment to take it in. When Crimson began to hum along, the girl didn’t hear it at first, but when he used his other hand to hold hers as well, it broke her concentration enough and she began to pick up on the second voice filling the room. It was her song she was hearing back, but the voice..
Crystal opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Crimsons other hand around hers. She had backed out of her song and then quickly looked up over at the shifter.. Her eyes immediately teared up and searched the one staring back at her. Her mouth opened a bit but nothing came out at first, was it really who she hoped it was?

After a short moment of quiet, she finally managed to softly ask, “..Crimson..?”

Dreamcatcher rubbed his neck, he still was feeling discouraged about the whole ordeal with the Nightmare, in some ways he felt wrong for even trying to think of a way to help Eater. "... I guess so " he then took off Dreameater shoulder cap and folded to hold across his arm.

" oof, man whatever that thing was sure did a number on her... at least she hasn't got worse " Anna mumbled, now looking towards the sleeping Dreamer.
Dreamcatcher walked over to the chair that was close by, he pulled it closer to his friends bed and sat down in it like he usually did. There was so much on his mind, what happened with Eater, what going on with Purity and Terra, then there was everyone else to //stop it// Catch took his palm to forehead, its like what Osiris told him, he needed to stop taking everything on himself.... Catch took Purity hand in his...even still the Dreamer prince wish he knew what he was supposed to do, how came he save the realms when he couldn't even save his friends, let alone himself...

Serenity glances back to Catch and notices how down he seems. "... Cheer up, I'm sure she'll get better and wake up eventually. We just gotta take some time, and then sometime we'll figure out how to beat what's getting her. Same goes for Eater, too," she says, trying to encourage him.

"Yes sir, we can sit at the table, sir, I'll be civil sir," Eater says, stiffly walking over towards his little table area with his eyes still locked on to Angus.

Morning Glory likewise follows her partner over to the table and sits nearby. //Now he just sounds like a robot...// she thinks.

Angus put one gun away and go over to the table and take a set, he then fold his hands like he did in the interrogation room and glare at the Nightmare or that what the shine of his glasses suggests.

Just like before he waited

Dreameater stares at Angus fearfully at first, but when the minotaur man doesn't say anything... //We're supposed to have a civil conversation? But he's not saying anything? He's waiting for me?// he telepathically asks Glory, then suddenly asks Angus, "How are you doing today, Angus, sir? Can I get you anything? A steak? Some water? Hot chocolate?"

Morning Glory watches Eater curiously, especially since he didn't wait for her to respond. //A part of self control is also being swift to hear and slow to speak, Eater,// she tells him, //You didn't let me answer you before you said something.//

Eater's eyes dart over to Glory. //Is he going to kill me because I didn't listen!?// he asks, his thoughts sounding terrified.

//No, no,// Morning Glory replies, holding back a snort, //Just listen and pay attention to him for now.//

Death doodle a happy face for his reply to the Elemental enthusiasm. he agreed that getting Weaver there would be good for not just him everyone else to. ' I agree, there still much to do...' he tapped the end of his pencil to his chin and was wondering if they come or not, he knew a lot was happening on her side to

A half chuckle came out of Crimson when he smiled more. He was filled with joy seeing Crystal again, this almost seemed like a dream, it felt like they had been separated for so long and yet his memories were a blur and seem like he just went in to have surgery so he could see, he wasn't sure if that was it but he knew without a doubt that Crystal was the first person he wanted to see" It's me. I'm here" the shapeshifter said softly, his eye began to tear up, he felt it deep in his chest, the feeling he got around her, when the word has gone mad she was their as a lighthouse, a calming song that called out to him, she made him remember and realized what it like to have Fath in something, that he could still do good, she was proof that there was good in the realms.

Crimson took one of his hands and placed it on Crystal cheek, he wiped her tears with his thumb as he stared into her eyes, he never felt this way about anyone else, he loved her.. he didn't know how to say it, how to you tell someone you love them when you're memories of love were foreign.

At first Angus says nothing, he pushed up his glasses when the mention of steak was brought up...

//He's still not saying anything Glory,// Eater says to Glory.

//Mmmm... Well, you did also offer a minotaur steak,// Glory mentions.

"Oh wait, that's right, you're a cow," Eater suddenly blurts out, "Would you like a salad instead? I could get you a salad? Are you even hungry?"

Morning Glory facepalms and shakes her head.

For a while, Fiona didn't write anything back. She just watched Crystal and Crimson's interaction... While also leaning far back and tipping her head up, so she could see, but hopefully not disturb them. The Elemental had a warm smile on her face, seeing Crimson awake and both of them so sweet with each other. //...This is even more than I was hoping for. I don't think I've seen either of them this happy.//

...A piece of her mental list of important things had been checked off.
'Hey! Crystal helped Crimson wake up! And they're being really sweet, and Crimson's eye is blue, so it's actually him!' The Elemental immediately wrote to Death--a little too excited to think about keeping the moment private.

In fact, she also mentally tried getting a call to Glory and/or Anna, about to share the big news with them, too.

" Serenity right Cat! Things have already started to turn for the better, so I know things will keep getting better " Anna antennas twitch sensing and oncoming message, she tips her head and flutter her wings " see! More good new! Crystal got Crimson to wake up and it him to! "
Dreamcatcher look up at the girls, he was still grateful that they were trying to cheer him up and be hopeful. "... I guess you're right, that is something good " the words seem somewhat stale as he said them, he couldn't help the doubtful thoughts in the back of his mind about what could go wrong now that Crimson was wake... but things were a lot different now, it wasn't like the Queen was going to let the shapeshifter walk around freely and it wasn't like Hiiro was around to try to pick or kill the kid, they knew now to keep Crimson away from Malice so maybe they could go a day without someone else dieing... Catch just looked down at Purity's hand and rubbed it " I guess things are getting better huh?"

Angus just folded his hands and placed them on the table, if he was dealing with a normal Nightmare he know the insults would have been intentional but Eater was truly an odd thing so he was going to let it slide. Just this ones...

" thank you for the offer but I will decline for the meal" Angus simply respond, but he did add " however, a glass of water will suffice "

"Yes they are! And if Crimson and Eater both have woken up, then it's obviously Purity's turn next," Serenity says.

That got a small smile from the Dreamer.

Catch then looked over his shoulder " would it be okay ma'am if I were to dream walk with Purity?" He asked the Nurses.
Suzano nodded " certainly master Catcher" she did however walk over to the prince and place a hand on his shoulder " just don't over do it, you just had a spell so take it easy "

" yes ma'am" he replied and then looked to the girls " would you like to come this time or sit out this trip? "

" I be up to going if you're feeling up to taking us along " Anna chime in, she knew Catch wasn't at his best right now but there was a lot of unknowns with him and his ability to dream walk like how Dreamer of old could do.

With Crimson’s reassuring confirmation that it was in fact him, Crystal felt the largest wave of relief and calmness wash over her. She let out a breath, and even though she wasn’t able to hold back her tears, there was a brief moment when a smile stretched over her lips as well.

Crystal’s eyebrows knit in surprise ever so slightly as Crimson put his hand to her face, but it wasn’t more than a second later that her expression relaxed and she gently leaned her head into his hand a bit more, finding the gesture comforting.

She remained quiet for a moment longer, but then tenderly said, “I’m really glad to see you..”

"I'd like to go and check up on her too, but like Anna said, only if you're feeling up to taking us!" Serenity chimes in.

Dreameater nods his head and fast walks over to the panel that he ordered his steak from earlier. "Hello? I need a glass of water for Angus, please? Right now!" he demands, leaning over the panel with his face a little too close to the screen.

Morning Glory crosses her arms and glances from Eater to Angus, watching the Nightmare put on his pitiful display.

Angus eyes follow the Nightmare for a moment but lost interest, he them looked to the Fairfin in front of him " I'm curious... " he started but then said nothing more and keep his eyes on Glory, watching her

"Oh? Curious about what?" Morning Glory asks Angus, but then she narrows her eyes slightly when he doesn't say anything more. //Hmm... I'd almost wonder if he's planning--maybe to test Eater more using me? Not sure...// she ponders, though she can only speculate at the moment.

Upon hearing a little ding, Eater starts to make his way back to the table with a glass of water in hand. "Sir Angus, I got you a glass of water sir," he says.

Dreamcatcher hesitated for a moment, a question stirred in his mind, 'should he even try to dream walk just after what happened?' he still wasn't feeling the greatest but his gut told him to talk with Purity "... yeah, I'll be fine, besides I told Purity I'll do better in keeping her updated... im sure she liked to know that Weaver a wake...so let's give it a shot" the Dreamer prince gave a forec smile.

Dreamcatcher place out one hand to the Fairfin for them to touch, he then ready himself to begin the process of dream walking.

' That great news! I'll let everyone know over here about that!' Death glace over to one of his many cats and reached out his ribbon and stroked the kitty, it still bothered the Bellezzas,whatever happened to Crimson was evil... but the soul he since did not seem evil but evil was indeed done. ' I guess for now just have to keep an eye on Crimson to make sure he ok, I'm sure he probably going to have a lot of questions if he remembers anything or not...'

A moment after the Fairfin are ready and Dreamcatcher begins, the three of them would hear something like waves on a beach, then shortly afterwards they would feel a refreshingly cool breeze, or the tickle of water on their faces. When they open their eyes, they will see a surreal ocean; Catch is standing on a sand bank, but underwater, and countless bubbles both small and large float up to the nearby surface. They are surrounded by water, yet there is no feeling of drowning, they all can breathe freely, as if it were air. A gentle sun's rays shine through the ocean waves, illuminating the waters with bright blue, orange, and yellow glows, and strange but beautiful underwater flora also light up the waters with soft rainbow colors. There are likewise beautiful creatures swimming around nearby, from exotic fish, to butterflies, to fluffy cats...

Purity flies by with her snake buddy Bubbles in her true form, but she stops when she notices her friends. "Hi Catch!" she cheers excitedly, waving to him with her ribbons as she hops over rather than swim over to him through the water. "Anna! Serenity too! I'm happy to see you all again!"

Crimson just stared into Crystal eyes, this moment was real but it felt so surreal, he had peace and the shadows of his life were from his mind. ( he not aware of what happened from the time he pop the 2nd time and everything after)
The red prince did a half chuckle at Crystal comment, he smirk as he thought about that 'I’m really glad to see you' she was glad to see him... not the things he done, not who he was, him... what they did together, who he was with her, who he was now, and he couldn't help feel some humor in the fact that he couldn't see and now he could, his mind echoed the same words 'I’m really glad to see you' there wasn't anyone else he wanted to see more then the human girl.
" me to" he replied " I-I mean, I'm glad to see you to " Crimson face turned red but he didn't look away despite getting embarrassed, he wasn't going to take his eye off the girl, this moment was to special for him to turn away, he knew that.

'Will do, for sure! Whatever questions he's got, we'll do our best to answer.' Fiona thought about that for a moment, then wrote back a little slower, 'Having a whole other person's head in your head would probably make it harder to remember stuff, huh?' A slight grimace came to her face, thinking about that. She hadn't even mentioned the /other/ thing in Crimson.

However, then she briefly looked up at the two again. That grimace didn't last long.
