not a nightmare. a memory.

i can eat them. did you know?

[privatechat]

[ Lennon blinks. ]

No...

You can eat nightmares... or memories.

What scares you?

[faeshim]

nightmares. there is nothing more fearsome than me in the ruinwood. i can gobble them up.

losing you. in any kind of way.

[privatechat]

I think I can believe that you're fearsome there.

You won't lose me. You're mine.

What do you hope for?

[faeshim]

i am the guardian. it is my job to be as fearsome as need be.

mm.

i hope jasper makes muffins for breakfast tomorrow.

you broke the rules, i get two turns!

[privatechat]

I guess I did...

Yes you do.

[faeshim]

what was your worst nightmare?

and have i ever been in your dreams?

[privatechat]

[ Lennon chews on his lip and he stares at the questions for a long time before he actually answers. ]

My parents... just the things they said to me the last time I saw them, I just hear it over and over and I can't make it stop even if I try to take my ears away.

You've been in many of my dreams since I met you.

[faeshim]

hmph. if i ever meet them, i'll put zippers in place of their mouths and they'll never say such things again!

[privatechat]

They probably don't even think about me anymore.

[faeshim]

hm. it is probably the same for me.

[privatechat]

What do you dream of?

[faeshim]

i'm not sure that i do. i think they might all be memories.

if i could dream, i think i would like dreaming of raising ours between here and the ruinwood.

[privatechat]

hm...

I... maybe that is a dream that can be true.

[faeshim]

it will be. they'll be princes and princesses of the ruinwood and nippon! and anything else they wish to be.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon's heart feels like it will burst. ]

Thank you... for wanting a family with me.

[faeshim]

i could say the same. there is a reason it so rarely happens.

[privatechat]

What do you mean?

[faeshim]

you don't see? your mate is not human. your children won't be human. that my body is not bound to one way or the other is enough to sicken some.

[privatechat]

You're a good mate, a good... husband. I love everything about you even when you drive me crazy. There is no one else that would be better to have a family with.

Humans can be monsters.

[faeshim]

it is a good thing that i tricked you into not-marriage.

[privatechat]

I mostly forgive you for that now as long as you don't trick me on any other important things.

[faeshim]

what if i cannot help myself?

[privatechat]

then I'll have to work on forgiving you again.

[faeshim]

xoxo

those are hugs and kisses!
