 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.*

Mitham: *nods eagerly* Promise. I won’t be in the way.

Darnell: …all right. *pulls himself wearily upright and will start getting around for the day* Breakfast, stop by the police station to turn in your paperwork and have a set drawn up for Shaila - I'm going to claim her just so no one else can - then to the market to get some proper clothes for both of you. We'll stop by Rafa's to check on Shaila and so I can pay for her care, then we'll head to the DuPrae manor.

Mitham: *nodnod* Yes, sir. *he’ll stay out of the way until Darnell is ready to leave the room, then is right there to follow.*

Darnell: Mn. I should get toiletry supplies for you two also, and a bedroll you can share for the trip home…but that can wait. *will get himself pulled together, face washed, has Mitham do the same, his satchel repacked . . . oh, takes a moment to sit down and fill out Mitham's paperwork too, and a quick drawing of his mark so he can have bracelets made for the kids - with that all done, they'll head down to breakfast* Eat what you want, just eat slow and don't stuff yourself. There will always be enough food now, so there's no call to make yourself sick. By the same token, if there's too much, don't feel you have to finish it all.
