Warnings: P3P headcanon. ...Miiight trigger light P3 spoilers if you're totally unfamiliar with the game? ;;
Dream Effects: Calm and even-headed at first. Determined and empathetic second, happy and a teensy bit smug third, sleepy fourth, and ends with childish fuzziness and joy and all that cute and fluffy package.

[Dominic's just silent, as he's not sure what to say about that.]

[carpo_vita]

[Let's assume he got up because I'm sure you can make do without me spamming you with his yawn icon :|b]

Good morning, Dominic. [He nods lightly in greeting.]

[unfearful]

Ah... good morning.

[Pause]

Is it your...?

[carpo_vita]

That was my twin sister. [Why are you always so hesitant. :c]

[unfearful]

[He was actually asking about your birthday, but, um, nice to know.]

Oh.

[carpo_vita]

[...This is the second time, Dominic. Should we be trying to read deeper into this. :|a]

Did you mean something else? [He caught that 'o ok' tone, though.]

[unfearful]

[It's okay, Dominic's just awkward.]

Ah... I was trying to ask if it was your birthday today.

[carpo_vita]

It is. ...That's probably why I dreamed of that. [Well, no sense hiding that one. Especially when this got broadcasted.]

[unfearful]

... Happy birthday, then.

[carpo_vita]

[That wasn't so awkward to say, now was it? It somehow feels fuzzier, coming from you. :>]

Thank you, Dominic.

[unfearful]

[Hey, for the record, he also wished Estelle a happy birthday. :|

Aaaaaaand now, have some awkward silence because he has no idea what to say.]

[carpo_vita]

[S-so proud. FFFFFFFFFF oh u. ...Unfortunately it's not your good week this week, is it?] How have you been? [You LOOK okay but... 8|;]

[unfearful]

I've... been fine.

[He's smiling lightly as he says this, but... yeah. It's a lie.]

[carpo_vita]

[......

He nods.]

If you say so. I hope that you'll be able to tell me what's really on your mind, someday.

[unfearful]

[... Dominic can't tell if he's bad at hiding things or if Minato's just that perceptive.]

I'm sorry.

[carpo_vita]

[It's the latter. Don't beat yourself over it too hard, Dominic. :c

He shakes his head at that, and then replies in an even tone.] You have nothing to apologize to me about, Dominic. If you do believe that you can handle everything alone and really don't want others involved, that's fine. On the off-chance that you become willing to speak to someone else about it, I'd gladly hear you out.
