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..”

' 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...'

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.

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.

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!"

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.

Angus paid the Fairfin no mind for the moment, the Nightmare had returned " you may set it down and take a seat now "

"Yes sir," Eater replies, setting the glass down in front of Angus and stiffly seating himself in his spot again. "Is there anything else I can do for you sir?" he asks, doing just like before and staring at the minotaur.

When the shifter responded, and then proceeded to rephrase his words with an embarrassed tint to his face, a smile once again pulled at Crystals lips. It was almost crazy just how much the last couple minutes had encapsulated all of her attention and focus.. Once she had managed to find Crimson in her own way, added with the addition of him waking up and all that came with it for her emotionally and such, the girl had forgotten about everything and everyone else there with them.

Studying Crimsons face, questions started to surface in her mind again.. Crystal wondered what would happen now that he was awake. She also couldn’t help but worry if he would he be okay if he was told about everything that happened, both to him and just everything in general.. And with those thoughts, among many more, the rest of the room slowly came back to the girls awareness.

There was not a single fraction of herself that wanted to bombard the shifter right away, in fact, most of her wanted to just stay like they were for a while longer.. But she thought back to how Crimson had reacted in the past to being in hospital settings surrounded by people he didn’t know or trust, and Crystal thought it would maybe be a good thing to carefully bring their situation to his attention before it potentially caused any problems..

“Crimson,” She started softly, lifting her head from his hand, “I- I don’t know what you remember last or are aware of, but a lot ended up happening.. And now we’re somewhere much safer, and with really nice people who have been taking really good care of us.. Things are a little different here, but it’s a good place..”

For the moment all the things that had been bothering the Dreamer prince were gone, they drifted away like the bubbles around him.

A smile can to Dreamcatcher seeing his happy friend " Hay Purity!" He waves back and then joining her in his true form.
" Purity and Bubbles!" Anna called out and flew around the Dreamer and flying snake " how you feeling?" She asked

" yes indeed there is, you can start by behaving yourself even if I am not present " Angus take off his glasses and clean the glass before putting them back on " you can start that by listening to mister Whitesoul Fairfin, she possibly could save you from other visits from me..."

"Yes sir, I'll listen to the Fairfin, sir," Dreameater simply replies, but he does telepathically say to Glory, //You can save me from even seeing him? I don't want to see him again.//

//Yes, I know Eater,// Morning Glory replies, //So you better listen to me when I try to help you, ok?//

//Ok, I'll listen...//

Purity giggles as Serenity flies over to her too, she gently grabs both the Fairfin with her ribbons and pulls them into a nuzzle hug using her face. She then lets them go, and grins at her friends. "I'm feeling pretty good! I've been trying to play around with the dream sculpting that Sunny mentioned! I'm still not entirely sure what all I can do with it, but," she giggles quietly again, "I've been having a lot of fun with it. How are you all doing?"

Bubbles swims/flies around with his wings and arms flopping about, and manages to get himself over to Catch. "Goodssss!" he cheers, throwing his arms up and just as happy as Purity is.

Crimson was caught up in the moment, he didn't want it to change, it felt like it had been forever since him and Crystal had a time like this together but then again didn't he just go in for the surgery to see again? But... but did it seem like time had passed since then?... his mind started to dig back, what did happen? Why would they need to move somewhere else? Why did Crystal word things that way? What really happened?....

" what do you mean?I..." Crimson started, he was so confused, didn't he just get pulled into getting the surgery he was told he'd be out of it for a while" I remember awful dreams but...they were just nightmares?...." as the red prince was trying to make sense of what he could remember the reality of the room begin to sink in, he noticed his arms had handcuffs on them and they were people in the room he did not recognize, some of which he could tell were highly arm guards " I-I.. I didn't?" He quickly look down at his arms, in particular his bracelets " I... I didn't... no, it was just nightmares?!"

" good, because if I get a call like this again Dreameater I won't be making a warning shot first " Angus replied bluntly, the Minotaur then get up from his set " I will leave you two alone for now, I'm sure you both need some time to think things over " he go's to trun but stopped to give one more message " Dreameater, it would benefit you greatly if you keep mister Whitesoul Fairfin alive... there may be times in the close future she will find her life at risk and the end result could mean the end of yours as well..."

"Yes sir, you can shoot me sir, and I'm not going to let anything kill her sir," Dreameater says, his wide, unblinking eyes following Angus' every move still.

Morning Glory heads over and sits quietly right next to Eater on the table.

' I have faith you guys will help him out and you got us to help to' Death reply back, he did glace down with that message, it was going to take a lot of work with the mess that was Crimson ' I say so... exactly if he didn't know about what inside him, I know if I were him it freak me out... it's something really evil that happened to him and what happened in the city seem to... uh make it come out more? If that makes sense?'

Fiona could tell Crimson was starting to have a lot of questions, just like Death had said. For now, the Elemental continued to leave Crystal in charge. He knew Crystal, and Fiona thought the girl already seemed very good at helping him stay calm and comfortable.

'It's freaky all around! That's not a thing that should ever happen to anyone!
Well, what happened in the city definitely has to do with Void and S--'
Fiona paused. They'd always known the name of the bad guy... But how did you spell it?
'Sul' She scribbled, then erased that quickly, 'Sol'
Was that it...? Wait a minute...
//...Soul-door... Meer? Soul-door-mirror?? IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS DOOR IN IT. WHY SHOULD I BE TRYING TO SPELL THIS RIGHT ANYWAYS?!//
The Elemental had written that down that spelling as she came up with it, but promptly scratched it out.

'The ugly bad guy we're trying to stop. It definitely has a huge something to do with him. Especially since this has been the biggest attack we've seen, AND there was an awful thing like nothing we've ever fought coming after Crimson!

It's even weirder how his name sounds like it has soul in it.'

" that awesome!!" Anna cheers, she giggled looking to her surrounding " I really love what you done to the place! "

Catch take a moment to take in all that Purity has made in the dream, it was truly something to watch, it was both beautiful and cool// it still something to think that Dreamers of old could do this all the time. // the Dreamer prince looked back to his friend but then Bubbles come at him " oh hay Bubbles!" He takes a ribbon and boop the snake playfully " it good to see you to buddy "

Angus tips his head up with a small please look, he give the Nightmare this to know that maybe he did do something good...

" I'm sure your in better hands now lady Morning Glory or we will hope so " Minotaur said before heading out

"Buddiesssss!" Bubbles cheers after getting booped, and then swims around Catch happily.

"I agree, this dream ocean is so beautiful!" Serenity agrees with Rihanna.

"Thank you! I'm glad it seems you two are doing good!" Purity giggles, and then she hops over to Catch as well through the water, and holds her ribbons out to him (in the same kind of a gesture as holding out a hand to him). "How are things with you though?" she asks, "And how's everyone else?"

Dreameater doesn't react.

"Yes, I hope so too," Morning Glory replies, and then after he's left, she turns her head up to watch her partner's expression.

Dreameater follows Angus' aura as long as he can sense it, and after he can't anymore, he simply keeps staring at the door. It takes him /several/ minutes before he finally starts to relax, first starting with relaxing his tense face, and then he slowly leans forward, brings his arms up on the table in front of him, and buries his face into his arms with a deep sigh.

"... How do you feel?" Morning Glory asks as she walks over and sits leaning up against his hand.

"I don't feel good... I feel... sick..." Dreameater quietly moans.

"Do you need a bag?" Morning Glory asks, giving him a concerned look.

"No, not that kind of sick..." Eater mumbles. "Sick like... Everything's wrong with me... I'm so tired, even though I just woke up not long ago, and I just... There's just this feeling of everything being... Wrong..."
He lifts his head up just enough to look at Glory with his tired eyes. "And I feel nothing... I don't really feel relaxed, I don't feel bad about what happened with Catch, I'm too tired to be upset anymore. I still feel I gotta do something, but I just feel sick... I don't know what could help me feel better at this point..."
He sighs again and breaks eye contact with his Fairfin. "My head hurts..."

Morning Glory frowns pitifully at her partner, and rubs her paw against his hand. "I'm so sorry, Weaver..." she says.

Dreameater flinches when she calls him his Dreamer name, but then he says, "It's ok, I'm not going to kill you."

" I'm glad you're doing good to Purity! " Anna then looked to her Fairfin friend " Serenity! Let's go ride a fish! I'll race you over there! " Rihanna fist bump the air with excitement, she then races toward a colorful seahorse.

Catch pets Bubbles on the top of his head and smile warmly. His attention goes to Purity and he puts out his ribbon to her to pull her into a side hug " I'm doing OK, better then I was before coming to visit " he said honestly, he visits enough to know that Purity could sense things like he could to so there wasn't much point in lying about how he was doing but he also didn't want her to worry ether.
So he quickly went to answering her other question " well some good news is just before coming in we got word that Crimson woke up and it seems to be actually him..." he then rubbed the back of his red mane, a part of him didn't want to bring up what also happened " and well... Weaver and Eater woke up to... I got to talk with Weaver for a bit before Eater step in..." he didn't have to say more, his emotions spoke for him of the frustration and sorrow.

Death glace over to his cats.... he knew something but could not speak of it yet... he was fearful of what it could mean but only time would tell ' I definitely agree... no one deserves a fate like that ' he pind his fluffy ears back and grimaced ' I think so to... something on this level of evil it has to be of The Devil... '
Death rubbed his head as he thinks on how to go about this ' The Devil is on the move to send one of his Arch demons.... the Legends call him the Seeker of souls...you and your group need to stay on guard, The Devil doesn't send these demons out lightly and there monsters that have been around long before the fall of man... '

Crystals eyebrows immediately knit together with concern.. She knew it was going to happen, but hearing the confusion in Crimsons voice pared with watching him slowly realize their surroundings and his condition wasn’t easy..

As Crimsons apprehension seemed to grow, Crystal gave the hand of his that she still had a hold on a small squeeze. “..I don’t know which parts you’re remembering exactly, but I have a feeling most of them aren’t just dreams..” She said calmly, watching the shifter carefully as she continued, “Are you remembering being out in the city when it was being attacked? Because as of now, it’s been about a week since then.. And in a way, you’ve been asleep this whole time..”

"Pfft, well if you get that one first, I'll just get another one, and then I'll race you on mine!" Serenity replies, flying as fast as she can to get to the seahorse.

Bubbles goes off and chases after the girls with his funny, floppy swimming.

Purity happily hugs her friend in return, and listens attentively to what he has to say. She keeps her smile when she learns that Crimson, actually Crimson woke up, but then she does frown when he mentions Weaver and Eater. "Oh... Was Eater rude or mean to you? I bet he was, wasn't he?" she asks, feeling his emotions, and she wraps the end of one of her ribbons around his. "I know... I wish we could do more for Weaver, I want to get that nasty bug out of him so bad," she says, scrunching up her face in disgust. "But... We're going to help him. I know we will," she says, giving Catch a hopeful, but still somewhat sad smile in an attempt to cheer him up, and he would feel the same emotions from her.

Morning Glory glances up from her partner. Surely there must be something that could help him? Hmmm...
She looks around the room, and eventually she hops up, flies over, picks up one of his guitars, and flies back to the table, setting it down near Dreameater. She then hovers above the strings, plucking some of them and playing a little melody for her partner.

Dreameater closed his eyes, but not long after Glory started playing the guitar, he mumbles something again.

"Sorry, what was that?" Glory asks, stopping her playing to hear him better.

"That sounds weird," Dreameater mumbles, a little louder this time. "But I've noticed a lot of things sound weird anymore... Just like food tastes weird..."

"Oh, I didn't know, I thought maybe you'd like to hear it. Do you want me to stop?" Morning Glory asks.

"No, no... It's not a bad kind of weird, it's just... It sounds different," Dreameater mumbles, a little bit louder at first. "You can keep playing... Please."

"Alright," Morning Glory says, and she continues playing the guitar.

What Death had written silenced Fiona for a while.
This is what they were really up against. It was something to take in.
She had a lot of thoughts, but simply put:
//...Yeah, that was definitely an ancient soul-seeking Arch Demon with a big title.//

The Elemental's brow furrowed as she started writing back, 'That's huge to know, thank you. I'll make sure everyone hears about this.
We're getting our act together as a team every moment now! Our guard won't just double. It's gonna double-double! That's gonna be my priority!

Would you have any other info to help us with that thing?'

After writing that, she looked up, hearing the tail-end of Crystal explaining some things to Crimson.

Crimson swallowed hard at that, if his dreams really were not dreams then that meant... his bracelet had come off and he murder Mina.... but then fragments of a city did come to his mind with Crystal question " I... I used..." he was scared to answer her, if he did what happened in his nightmares how could she look at him knowing he was something like that, that he was the Blood Sapphire, even if she didn't know of his tilted, that didn't change the fact he was a monster... filled with guilt Crimson didn't want to look Crystal in the eyes, how could he? But She seem to know that happened and was here... just moments ago when he looked into the girls eyes she looked happy and relieved, not the look of staring into a monster eyes...

Crimson eye found its way to his and Crystals hand //... she knows doesn't she...// and yet she was still there so the red prince, even though he was terrified he tell her about his dreams... " you seen me didn't you?... me as the monster the Nightmares call the Blood Sapphire?" Crimson began to tremble as he continues " I... I know I used Blood magic, even though it doesn't feel like it, but I'm sure I did....people got hurt because of me didn't they? I lose control of myself again my... my bracelet came off didn't it?... I kil-..." Crimson clinch his teeth as tears started to form in his eye " me murdering Mina wasn't a nightmare.... I did that? I did all of it didn't I?..."

Death was happy to know that he help in some way, his tail wag a little with the thought but when the Elemental ask her question he didn't reply right away...

' im sorry but there only so much I can tell right now... but what I can say is this, that there are five Arch Demon that under the Devil... if you're group able to find out more, I likely be able to tell you more '

Glory plays the guitar for a while, until Dreameater suddenly sits up and grabs it himself. He then stands up, but Glory can tell he seems twitchy.

"I want to play it, but I don't want to sit here anymore, I want to go outside," Eater says, fast-walking towards the doors that lead to his outdoor pen.

"Alright, we can go outside," Glory simply replies, flying over with him and out through the doors.

But the moment Eater gets through the doors, he shapeshifts to his true form and takes off running, carrying the guitar with him in his chains on his back.

//I really wonder what all goes on in that brain of his...// Morning Glory thinks, following the path her partner went, though not at the same speed he is.

Anna was rushing to the colorfully seahorse when something zip right by her!

It was Bubbles! The colorful flying snake zoomed by and to the seahorse first!

Rihanna was sent spinning when the snake went by " W-hoa-!" It took her a few seconds to balance herself out again " AH! Bubbles!" She called out and then immediately start looking for another seahorse.

Dreamcatcher simply nodded, his emotions spoke more then he did right now " after he woke up it wad alright for a bit but that didn't last long... I know Eater was trying, he was being to friendly that it was creeping me out... then it just went down hill from there, I even tried to have a vision and that didn't go well either..." the Dreamer nudged his friend, thankfully Purity magic dose help comfort the prince " I know we will to, it just hard right now "

Serenity starts rolling through the water after Bubbles sped by, and ends up rolling past Anna at high speeds. "Woah-oah-oah-OAH--"

Purity headbutts the side of Catch's neck gently to nudge him back. "But right now you're here with me, so why don't we try to relax and maybe have a bit of fun together? I think you could use a pick-me-up," she says, and then she slowly starts to swim away ahead of him, but pulling on his ribbon with hers and looking back at him. "I can show you what else I've made!"

Crystal could feel Crimsons emotions building, and though she knew they weren’t, they swarmed around in her chest as if they were her own. As she was watching and listening to the shifter, her heart ached to a point that it physically began to hurt.

After Crimson spoke and asked his questions, the girl was quiet.. Part of her wanted to just pull him into a hug, in hopes it would be any sort of comfort, but she had a feeling there wasn’t much that would help at the moment except answering truthfully as she always did..

Crystal did her best to gather her thoughts a bit before saying, “I suppose.. in a way.. you did end her life.. But Crimson, I said it before and I’ll say as many times as I need to.. it wasn’t /your/ fault. It may have been your hands, but in no way was that you.. Though there may have been ways to keep the situation at the time from escalating, we didn’t know what was going to happen, and you couldn’t have helped it when you lost your bracelet.. and I’m sure everyone knows that by now. We know there’s a difference between you and your corruption, and how it’s so aggressive that it’s nearly impossible to control it without the help of those bracelets.”

“As for what happened out in the city, I didn’t see you when the worst was happening, but later I was told about it, and I did see the results of it.. Me and the group I was with that day saw the places you had previously been.. There was a lot of.. damage to the areas, a lot of evidence of what went on.. And when I saw you later..” The girl trailed off and went quiet for a moment again, but she soon went about very carefully explaining a bit of what she knew or had been told about what Crimson went through out in the city. She watched the shifter closely as she gently spoke to him, still holding his hand.

Crystal chose the way she told things particularly so it would hopefully seem a little less overwhelming, simply explaining the general information and left out details that could be asked about later at a better time..

Fiona's eyes were laser focused on Death's words, following closely right as they appeared in the book.
As much as the urge to know more nagged at her, she wasn't entirely surprised they couldn't just be told everything... Just disappointed.
It made sense, though. Things were getting better, but with the state their whole group--and this realm were in? She had no clue what that kind of info would do.

//This has gotta be like... The super duper top absolute secret stuff...// She thought. It was like they were spies who needed to decode things first! That's how she'd look at it.
'Every bit helps! Thank you!' She wrote back, 'We'll work on cracking the case!'

After this, she took a long pause to listen again.

Anna get sent spinning yet again! " E-ck!" She squeaks, she shook her head feeling dizzy from all the spinning " w-oah--!"The Fairfin slaps her face to snap out of it. Looking up Bubbles and Serenity were in the lead, she wiggle herself and took off!

Flying thought the water Anna was gaining on her Fairfin friend, she reached out a paw to try to stop her friend rolling only to be caught and suck up and rolled with Serenity, it was only a few Cycles before Anna got flung and landed on top her rolling friend " I don't know what just happened but let's roll with it!" She shouted as she ran on top of the Serenity ball.

" honestly, that what I was hoping for " Catch made a shy smile, he was tired and just needed a friend to hang out with to get his mind on different things so he could reset and come back to them more refreshed. " that be cool! I been curious about what all can be done with dream magic, have you figure anything else out with it?" The Dreamer let his friend pull him along

"I don't kNOW WHat's happENNING either AaaannnNNNAAAA--" Serenity squeaks as she keeps rolling.
Bubbles speeds away on his seahorse steed, giggling and squeaking and making other cute sounds.

-

"I've been playing around with a lot of stuff," Purity happily tells Catch as she prances through the water, "I've been able to make a lot of animals so far! Did you see the fish and the cats?" she giggles, "And I've made a little homey kind of place too! I'll show you!"

Up ahead a little Dreamer house comes into view, yes, under the water, and there's a small field of grass around it and everything, with trees with flower petals instead of leaves, some unusual but beautiful huge flowers grow out of the ground in a flower garden around the house and a pleasantly sweet scent drifts through the water like air.

That was all things Crimson didn't want to hear to be true, but had a feeling it was... the news wasn't easy to take in, finding that your deep dark secret not only put people in danger but hurt and even killed someone weighed heavily on the red prince... however hearing it come from Crystal help him to understand and except it a lot better then if it would have came from someone else.
Crimson had no reason to doubt the human girl and thought the truth hurt, from her it was just that, the truth and he respected that and her kindness.

the red prince on more then a few times wanted to pull his hand away, he felt the guilt of his crimes, what right did he have to hold her hand? For her to care about him? but it was more then Crystal words that kept him from not pulling away, he had been with her thought enough to know this was Crystal.. her kindness was a gift that she chose to give even if he didn't feel worthy in receiving it, yes he felt and knew he was unworthy but he wasn't afraid of the Crystal light, if anything he looked to her and wanted to be better, he wanted to be more for her just like she was for him...

Tears have been running down his face, but Crimson didn't say anything for a long while, he was dealing with a lot of emotions and had a lot to think about " I'm so sorry.... I know I should have told you what could happen if one of my bracelets came off... but I never knew it was something like that... I.. I know there nothing I can do to undo what I did or it, I guess... but I'll try " his voice carried his fears, he would indeed try but he was honestly scared to know his corruption was more then he knew it to be, Crimson squeezes Crystals hand and looks up at her " what are we going to do from here? "there was fear in his eye but he wasn't going to give up, not in a long shot because he wasn't going in this alone.

' your welcome! ' Death reply and drew a happy face ' I'll do what I cam and I'm sure as you go I will be able to pass what information I can! '

After a while The Bellezzas had wondered if Fiona got distracted or busy, so he doodle a few things on the side

Eventually Morning Glory comes across some tall rocks that jut out from the ground, and a very dark cave that goes underground beneath them. She then finds a pair of glowing eyes watching her from the inside of the cave. She can also hear him picking the guitar strings off and on, but not really playing it. After thinking on what to say for a moment, she asks in a somewhat playful tone, "Has the big scary Nightmare found a nice spooky cave?"

"Yes... Yes I have," Dreameater replies with a low voice. He continues picking the guitar strings one by one.

"For someone who was just talking about how sick and tired he was, you sure zoomed out of there pretty fast..." she remarks.

"I didn't want to be there anymore, I needed to get away," Dreameater replies, a bit of that restlessness coming back to his tone. A quiet grinding noise can be heard coming from his spines as well.

"And you did, you've found a really nice cave," Glory tells him, "If I didn't know it was you, I'd be really scared to see your eyes in the darkness like this."

He seems to settle down a little down after that comment.

"Mind if I come over, or would you rather have some alone time?" Glory asks.

Dreameater thinks for a bit. "I don't know what to do," he finally says.

"You don't?" Glory asks, slowly flying a bit closer to him.

"No," Eater answers with a faint whine, "I don't know what to do. I need to do something, but I can't."

" I-I don't know ether! " Anna calls back to her rolling friend, she leans a bit and the Serenity ball turns.

" I noticed that! " Dreamcatcher smile and then looked back at all the animals floating around " its something else that for sure, you really getting the hand of this dream sculpting stuff "
Dreamcatcher eyes widened with awe " Purity! This is incredible!" He quickens his pace excited to explore what she had made

"I THINK I'M PICKING UP SPEED, ANNA!!" Serenity shouts as she starts glowing white...

"Thank you!" Purity says with a giggle, and she heads over to a little table on the porch of the house. She lets go of Catch's ribbon to use both of her ribbons to pick up a plate with some strange fruits on them. "I tried making some food too--these fruits taste like apples and bananas at the same time!"

When she had finished explaining, the girl let the silence take over, giving Crimson however much time he needed to let everything settle down.. To say she was worried about him would be a vast understatement, her head was swarmed with concerned thoughts, but she was managing to keep a lot of it to herself.

Crystal listened to the shifter apologize, tilting her head a bit and nodding lightly, “I can understand why you hadn’t told anyone, but know, if there’s ever anything you need to say or talk about, I’m always here to listen. And I’m sure the others are too. It’s going to be okay..” she reassured, not only for Crimson, but also for herself.. Lately it seemed with each corner they turned everything just kept getting worse and worse. And not just with the shifters situation, but also with everything in general. It was all was getting scarier and more detrimental, and each time she was faced with something more intense than the last, she was finding it harder and harder to fight the urge to simply shut down..

When Crimson looked back up at her with his question, Crystal reached out her free hand and made it her turn to brush away his tears, like he had done for her. “We’re going to keep going and keep trying..
