[TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR ADORABLENESS.] The first thing you become aware of is fire. The oppressive heat, the haze in the air, the terrible reason for the fire - Father. You’re back in Father’s study again, with him gripping your arm and laughing as the demon consumes him, consumes everything that touches him. You know where you are, now, but there’s

[ That old face she just saw was far from ugly. It was a very familiar face and it comforted her to see Meryl's face again. She almost had forgotten that she's looking through someone else's eyes.

When she feels in control of her own body again, she leans forward to shout for Meryl to come back. Sorry if Rika moving around bothers you, little Med'an. She's kind of distracted. ]

Meryl!

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Little Med'an does indeed jump in surprise at Rika's shout, and puts a little hand on her little arm, concerned. Something in him is telling him that this is a weird situation - since Rika is not-Bern - but he doesn't seem to care at the moment. They're friends, at least in this dream, because he's friends with everyone.]

He'll come back! He's just getting juice!

[WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT ABOUT JUICE.]

[ MERYL COME BACK I WANTED WINE NOT JUICE

Rika is tempted to jump out of bed, but when she finally takes notice of the little Med'an next to her, she stays put. She doesn't seem to recognize Med'an...

It's tempting to chase Meryl down, but she doesn't think she could just leave a small child alone. ]

Ah...

[ Attempting to relax here... Meryl was going to come back after all. She glances around the room. ]

Wh, where is this?

[breakin_ur_lore]

[No wine for you, young lady. Unless the juice has gone really bad.]

It's my room.

[He seems confused at her confusion. Well, what else would this place be? It's got enough toys (and clutter) in it to certainly be a childs bedroom. And it has Meryl, which is also property of Medan. He scootches closer to her in case she needs hugging.]

That was just a bad dream. We'll be okay now.

[Head-lean.]

[miracleflower]

[ This is... awkward. Is she supposed to know this child? She's going to feel ashamed if she asks who he is, so she's just going to... go along with this and refrain from chasing Meryl down.

Sticking her hand out, she strokes Med'an's hair. Her gaze, however, keeps staring at the doorway and expecting for Meryl to come back soon. She couldn't be back in Discedo. No room would look like this. ]

...

How do you know Meryl?

[breakin_ur_lore]

[It's me, that guy you were freaking out by pretending to be Bern!]

He's my foster father. He adopted me.

[Helpfully, he looks up at her and says; ]

You know me. I'm Med'an.

[miracleflower]

He's...

[ A pause. Med'an... where had she heard that name before? It was when she first arrived in Demeleier, wasn't it? She had never actually seen him in person, but... the voice doesn't match up with the one she heard over the communicator. ]

Med'an... did we... speak over the communicator?

[breakin_ur_lore]

Uh-huh. You looked like Bernkastel, but you weren't.

[He doesn't even get upset over the mention of Buttface Bern. Snuggling again, okok? And Meryl returns at that moment as well, carrying two glasses of juice. He smiles kindly at both of them and hands the juice over, sitting on the edge of the bed, and asks if they need anything else.]
