Through the door they went and things were not what she thought they were going to be or what they should be, but that was just fine. She stepped through and looked up as the bird flew off singing. With a smile lighting her face the young woman watched and her eyes took on a wistful expression as she looked at the children, singing there. Her hand moved to her swollen stomach and she pulled herself back to paying attention. PB, meanwhile, rubbed noses with the rabbit and Faith smiled down at him.

As the door closed, the little girl turned to Faith and spoke and told her something most odd. She was dreaming? "Am I? It isn't usual that I know when that happens, you know." She considered it and PB and what she knew and somehow she realised that it was right. She hadn't known before, but now that she knew she had. Or something. It seemed like a rather large ball of messy timey-wimey. Yet suddenly, as awareness hit her, she realised that she could see better. Clearer. Yet she always had been able to, just she hadn't seen it this way. How odd.

But then, life was odd and Faith understood that.

The girl was here to Escort her? Faith looked at her and smiled, thinking about it for a moment. "I'd like that, please. Can PB come too?" The children picked him up, though, and Faith held on to the girl's hand. As they stepped forward together, walking around and around in circles, Faith felt the familiar nausea hit her but she breathed in and kept herself together. She stumbled, slightly, on her feet, as she wondered just what it was which caused the vertigo sensation, but then it was gone though she still felt like it was there just a little.

The Veil? Faith listened attentively and looked around. "This is the Veil? From here I can find other's dreams?" She considered that and frowned in thought for a moment. The young woman was a medic, a scientist. She wondered. "Is there a limit to that? Do I have to know them, have met them or is it a physical thing?" She looked at the young girl and smiled. "Thank you. It's beautiful here." Wondering then, she couldn't help but turn to the girl and ask, "Can I see Padraig's dreams? Does my baby dream?"

To sleep, perchance to dream ...


The little girl grinned and clapped her hands excitedly once Faith's face revealed that she understood what was happening, once she became aware,

"PB is part of who you are, so he can always come with you. Unless, of course, you tell him not to." The auburn-haired girl giggled, and Faith could hear the singing of the yellow-breasted bird somewhere nearby. Perhaps much like herself, this little girl had made for herself creatures of her imagination within Emea with which to not only express herself as but also to be her companions, her points of reference.

"Yes, anyone who you've met before and know, those dreams are easiest to find and walk into from the Veil. As you grow more and more familiar with Emea, you will be able to take others with you, to visit strangers, and influence other's dreams. Eventually. It's dangerous here—if you're not careful about where you step, you risk Corruption or even Abduction. You can be lost here. So, walk carefully."

The girl in the yellow dress was stern, and her warning was something Faith could almost feel as well as hear. As beautiful as dreaming was, Nightmares lurked around every corner, and even the sweetest of dreams could take a terrible turn. Apparently, becoming aware of Dreaming didn't make this any safer,

"The dreams of infants are difficult for the adult mind to join. Do babies dream? Yes," She smiled sweetly, reaching to brush fingers innocently over Faith's belly, somewhat ambiguous with her words, green eyes mischievous, "but their dreams are difficult to find and walk in. As they grow outside the womb, however, in your arms, you will eventually be able to find them here and dream together. Be patient, Faith."

Spreading her arms languidly with a little twirl, the girl watched her dark-haired companion carefully, "Is there more you'd like to know? What can I show you or what would you like to see? Perhaps you'd like to explore on your own and wake soon? I'm here as a guide, and we can meet again if you need me. My name is Amelia. You may not remember my face, but I remember yours. There was a trial you helped my mother in the Order, and I have looked for you ever since in my dreams—"

The girl smiled warmly, for what she could say in dreams, she couldn't say out loud in person,

"—to say thank you."

Because of his Competency in Empathy magic, Pash exudes an aura of calm emotion that is always "on." While it's not strong enough to overcome extreme emotions and it also loses strength the more people he's around, it's still up to you how that affects your character in whatever situation we're in.

She looked at PB and she smiled. "He is me, I think. A part of me which could not be, once upon a time." The chalk bunny grinned at her and nodded. Faith knew, in her heart, and always had. PB was the part of her which meant that she could be free now. He was the irreverence, the argumentative and sassy individual - he was that part of her personality which Padraig had seen from the beginning. Somehow, that was a chalk bunny who, in dreams, taught her knitting.

What a strange thing, Faith considered. PB had been the part of her which she had locked away for so long, hidden safely in Emea so that they could not break it. Could not break her.

The warnings given by the young girl were words which she attended to - they had obvious gravitas here and Faith knew it was important that she took heed. There were dangers here and she had to keep that in mind. Like in the waking world, to ignore the dangers here was to invite them and here, they could be very dangerous indeed.

Even the thought of her child dreaming delighted her and the young woman who was so very unsure of her ability to be a mother grinned broadly at the little girl. "I can't wait to meet her or him, you know. Outside the womb, in my arms. I'm so excited." She flushed slightly at that, but it was true and the child who was very obviously not a child at all, seemed to understand.

And then, of all things, the girl explained who she was and why she was here. Faith looked at her in some surprise. "You got big," she said and reached out to touch Amelia's hair. "It was my pleasure. My privilege to help." She did remember, her Bellinos blessing meant that she could do nothing but remember. Yet, she'd always remembered her patients well, for reasons which she understood in herself. "I think I'm going to wake up soon," It was a strange feeling, but she thought she'd grow to recognise it. Like she was being tugged. "Thank you. Truly." There was no doubt that she'd see the young girl again in this place and Faith smiled in the dreaming as her eyes opened in the waking world.
