dandelionheart: Nirei with a raised eyebrow, looking to the side in thought. (uh...)

[ This isn't the first time Nirei's had such a vivid dream, but this might be the most realistic one. Droplets of rainwater drip down his neck, slip into the collar of his shirt. The wind isn't that strong, thankfully, but it's just cold enough that goosebumps dot his arms. Thunder rumbles in the distance, low and angry, and he starts walking faster from the foreboding feeling it brings.

He's headed for the same tree Riku is, but from the other side of the strange park, so Nirei doesn't spot him until they're both closer to it. Once he does, it's difficult to take his eyes off the stranger. His red hair is striking against the greenery and the gloom, and he's gorgeous even while trekking through the rain — Nirei wonders if he's some kind of celebrity — but the main reason he can't look away is the odd feeling in his gut at the sight of him.

Nirei knows too many people. He's never had a dream where he didn't recognize someone.

He furrows his brows and jogs the rest of the way. ]


Hey! Who are you?

[ It's probably nothing, he's probably overthinking it. It's just a dream, after all. Vivid and lucid, but still just something his mind is making up...but between the strange signs he saw on the way here and the slight uneasiness he can read on Riku's face, he can't be so sure. ]
dandelionheart: Nire blushing and looking surprised. (oop)

[ Nirei startles too at Riku's sudden outburst, his hands going up and his body tensing. He isn't sure what he expected to happen when he called out, but it isn't that, and the shock has him frozen there with his mouth agape for a second.

Then the surprise passes and he lets out a soft, awkward heh and starts laughing as well. ]


No, no, I, uh...I should be the one saying sorry. I shouldn't have called out to you like that. I'm Nirei. Sorry for startling you.

[ He scratches the back of his neck, unsure of how to say this next part. ]

I don't know where we are or how I got here either. I thought I was dreaming, that's why I yelled. So you're not in trouble. At least, not with me. [ He realizes how that comes off and quickly adds: ] That sounds really bad, sorry. Again. I swear I'm not usually this awkward. I just feel like...

[ Nirei takes a moment to look around the park to gather his jumbled thoughts and words. The rain hasn't gotten any harder, but it isn't letting up either. He notes how there's no one else here but them. There are frogs croaking somewhere and other sounds of nature, but he can't see or hear any other people. Not even the noise of cars in the distance. It's unsettling and doesn't help with his brain going a mile a minute, so he just looks back at Riku and gives him the awkward smile of someone trying not to be scared. ]

I still kind of think this is a dream, to be completely honest. This all feels real, but... [ He gestures around them, at an unreadable sign a few meters away.] ...it doesn't at the same time, you know?
