 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.*

Darnell: ...the raven's real. *somehow, he hadn't expected that - will carefully wipe up the blood with a kerchief, wrapping the feathers in with it, and will tuck the bundle into his satchel. He'll make sure the window is locked, bar the door with the chair (just in case), and climb back into bed, then looks at Mitham* Thank you, by the way. For fighting that thing off.
