[Of course, it's difficult to understand the dream; it's so dark, but yet so detailed that it's hard to believe it's anything but--]

--a memory?

Rita...

[kyudousha]

[... Oh. It's him.

... huh. She pauses.]

Don't read too much into it.

It's just a nightmare.

[caprice_of_song]

I'm relieved to hear that there isn't more to it.

[[OOC: And even though there might be, he's not going to pry.]]

[kyudousha]

[... Damn. She's going to feel awful about lying to him. D:]

... yeah. Dreams are just dreams.

[Topic chaaange /o/]

Had any interesting ones lately?

[caprice_of_song]

Nothing particularly unusual, no. I suppose I could consider that a relief, though, as my ridiculous dreams tend to be the ones that get broadcast.

[kyudousha]

Well, that's not too bad. Or maybe even worse, depending on your perspective. I mean, some dreams are just hard enough to explain in the first place, and some others are just downright impossible.

That one about raining 'cheagles' was pretty cool, though.

[caprice_of_song]

You thought so? Thank you. I would have thought it was just strange, if anything.

You know, now that I think of it, talking with you might have had something to do with the shower of numbers in it, too...

[kyudousha]

... Talking with-

Numbers?

[A stilted pause.]

I didn't get that. Explain.

[caprice_of_song]

In my dream, it rained numbers. It was slightly reminiscent of your dream about equations, don't you think?

[kyudousha]

Rained numbers...?

Heh. I knew I liked you for a reason. That's a pretty good dream, then. Too bad I didn't get a chance to see it and all - but that's just a detail, really.

Sounds cool.

[caprice_of_song]

You knew about the cheagles, so I assumed you must have seen the...

Never mind.

It was a nice change of pace from all the sad things I see in dreams here, at least.

[kyudousha]

... yeah. Nevermind.

I guess so. But really, I wouldn't worry so much about that. If the dream's got information you can grill out of them, then emotional factors shouldn't even be considered.

[caprice_of_song]

I may have said it before, but I honestly wish I could think as objectively as you do. It must be so much easier to learn about things factually when you consider them that way.

[kyudousha]

I guess you could put it that way. But the way you think about things shouldn't really be about what you want to be. I should just be whatever system works for you, you know?

As much as I hate to say it, artists probably wouldn't get very far doing what they do if they thought like I do. Unless, you know, they painted equation proofs, or something.

[caprice_of_song]

Unfortunately, it had never really occurred to me to take up any hobbies besides reading, so I'm still not completely sure what point of view would suit me best.

I do enjoy listening to you talk about science, though.

[kyudousha]

Reading's the best hobby there is, besides research. I think you're on the write track, really. But if you're not sure, then maybe it's about time you sit down and go over your priorities.

... you do?
