 Mitham: So what about while you were sleeping? When the raven came in? You were making sounds, though not really talking. Was it related or just a nightmare?

Darnell: *shudders* It was related. It's how he attacks people. We didn't think he'd be able to reach me outside of his old estate . . . but I guess I should have known. *rubs at his arm*

Mitham: What was the dream?

Darnell: *will describe his dream, and will tell Mitham about some of the things he's been told others experience, though he doesn't say who or go into the extent...looks at Mitham* I hope I don't really have to say this, but...you understand that this does /not/ leave this room, correct? None of it. Discuss /nothing/ of what I've told you, any of it, with anyone else. Not even Shaila. *rueful grin* If for no other reason that I don't want her frightened. She needs to rest and concentrate on recovering.

Mitham: *gives him a wry "are you nuts!?" look* Are you kidding?  I don't want to give her nightmares, and no one else would believe me.... or they'd be in on it like those people from your first time here. *besides... he wants to help, he can't do that by betraying Darnell and telling people about this...*

Darnell: *studies him . . . and nods* Anyway, we should try to get some more sleep for now.

Mitham: *nods* Should lock that window...

Darnell: *grimaces* I thought it /was/. *though he can't say for sure, doesn't remember actually checking it . . . will sort through his belongings again really quickly, just making sure everything's still there - if Mitham thinks it's because of him, and voices as much, Darnell will clarify that, no, he just wants to make sure the raven didn't make off with anything . . . finally they'll resettle for sleep*

Mitham: *doesn't say anything, just watches. Darnell will find some feathers and a bloody spot on the floor where Mitham /smacked/ the raven good with the chair.*
