John woke up, the lingering affect of the nightmare fading into the background, and ran his hand down his face. He place his hand on Kit's book, letting his aether to flow into it so she could be calm in sleep. The nightmare made him face some hard truths, ones that he had push aside, or forget. Salacea's control over the dreamscape would affect all of them for a long while. Still, they did have time, to heal and to regroup. 'To keep going on even when we don't have the strength but the will to do so.' It was words that Mick said to Sam and the others before they lost him. 'Maybe it's truly time to start living by those words.'
He sat up, looking over the upstairs lounge with a bit of a smirk on his face, as he took in the papers scatter around the couch he had been sleeping on. It pretty much had become his office/sleeping area. He should probably take Titor up on the offer about moving into one of the empty rooms in the hall but that nobility part of himself had turn Titor down. He back was paying for it now, with that ache in his back, but it was quiet and mostly no one seem to really use it for a sitting area. He look down at the papers to his left, wondering what Sir Reiner would say to his determination on research a way to use White Magic. "No, best to keep his out of his line of sight. Bad enough I'm in his sights about the way I heal." He wouldn't go to Khuj'a though, not wanting his 'little brother' to feel he was being used.
"I'll do this on my own. I'll need to work on my control of ice element before finally tackling my lack of control on lightning." He then turn to the request he was working on to Titor. A request to speak with 'Raimy's' brother about his research in the dream crystals. "Perhaps we can find a way to safeguard them from a repeat of our situation." Thinking of control made him remember that he needed to speak with Shin. What took place in the dream could very well happen in the waking world. "I hope that his offer for meditation will still stand."Â
He stood up with a groan, stretching his back out, and step over the papers to place his hand on the mantel of the fireplace. It was good that he had been far more concern with healing at the Grindstone then thinking over how afraid he was to even think about touching anyone. The sooner he got this under control, the sooner he could help Raimy with is situation. "I can't keep doing this."
'John," Kit whisper.
John smile, placing his hand on Kit's book, rubbing the three aether crystals with his fingers. "Did you sleep better, after Lady Canny apology?" he asks. "I'm sure she understands now why you were so fearful when she did that."
'Yes,' she said, her aether shivering under his touch. 'Thought I was going to lose you.'
"She'll make sure she'll ask know before drawing aether from you." He stares into the fire for a long while. "I think it's time..."
'Time?'
"Yes," he said. "I've been keeping my 'Dreaming' ability away from the whole group. It's time they knew what I can do...and how to help me if I get into a situation like what Salacea put me through." He brush a stray bit of hair from his eyes. "The sooner they know, the less they will panic if I have to do a 'Dream' or if I'm lost in it, with the way I was when the siren made me 'dream' her memories."
