:: [DREAM] ::

[The world in this dream is large and peaceful. There's nothing to see here but the endless sprawl of green fields and rolling hills. Tall mountains display in the background, the sky is a perfect blue and a light breeze blowing the smell of the sea ripples through the blades of the grass. Should you be observing or entering, either

[This- This is beautiful. The Tianzi isn't sure if it's a dream, or a wish of a dream, but- It becomes somewhat clear when she sees Rokuta, a familiar sight, even in that form.

She meant to call out to him- but she only watched in somewhat reverent awe.]

[kirinofen]

[By now he'd recognize Tianzi's presences anywhere. She had become a very comforting sight and so when he spotted her, he felt somehow happier. Turning, he hurried over to her and slowed his pace as he drew closer. Walking up to her, he lowered his nose in greeting.]

You wandered in here, huh?

[justasystem]

Rokuta!

[When she was sure he'd spotted her, that she wouldn't be a nuisance or startle him, she'd waved, dipping in to a quick bow]

I don't know how, but- it's beautiful here!

[kirinofen]

[He's quite happy to see her, though it can't be shown on his face. Her comment makes him beam.]

It's nice, huh? This is my kingdom, En.

[justasystem]

[She's beaming herself, looking around, over here, over there, before she gives in to the young, girlish instinct, twirling about with her arms wide, smiling]

It's amazing!

[kirinofen]

[He laughs, tossing his head as he does.]

I'm glad you approve. [He steps slightly and turns so he's standing beside her.] C'mon. I'll show you what it looks like from the sky.

[justasystem]

[The first time, she'd been hesitant, and still was just slightly, but-]

Alright!

[She still tried to be as careful as she could getting on his back, always mindful, and she did manage mostly, fingers curling in his mane.]

[kirinofen]

[He bends slightly so she can climb on easier and then stands.]

Okay, hold on! [And he's running and then taking a giant leap, soaring straight into the blue sky without hesitation. He moves, running on the air. Now the full beauty of the landscape can be appreciated and one can see just how big it all is. The ocean to one side and endless green to the other.]

You can't get the best view unless you're up here, if you ask me.

[justasystem]

[That leap, of feeling like her heart was stuck in her throat, that leap in to the sky, as she slowly opened more to wonder, than to the fear]

It really is...

[Clings tighter to his neck, but always careful- not too tight, staring down wide eyed, shaking her hair from her face]

I don't know which was prettier- before, or this time-

[kirinofen]

[He soars over the sea and then turns, flying back over the greenery. He's careful not to move too fast or go too high.]

Before...? Oh, you mean when we flew over the city?

[He glances down with a chuckle.] I'm biased, but I prefer this view better.

[justasystem]

[Just as before- perhaps a bit faster, she relaxes fully, the wonder and the beauty of it too much to ignore]

It's beautiful here... but I also liked the stars, too...

[kirinofen]

Then too bad it isn't nighttime! You can see every detail of the stars in a place like this.

[Which in turn made him wonder just how big this world of dreams was. Could he keep going, further and further on until they reached a city? Could he fly to the capital and show her the palace where he lived? He was curious but wasn't sure he should try.]

Well, maybe next time then.

[justasystem]

Mmmm...

[She was just as fascinated this time as before- the beauty of it, the splendor of that sight... it didn't get boring, not to her]

But the day time is pretty, too... someone once told me there's beauty everywhere, so-

[kirinofen]

That's a nice way to put it. I'd like to agree. Who told you that?
