[yesterday, Oliver was finally able to banish his nightmare and sleep properly again, but one good night's sleep couldn't make up for all that deprivation, and he decides to take a nap the next afternoon, too tired to wait for nightfall. he takes the Doctor's suggestion, curling up on a padded bench on level 15, and falls into a peaceful sleep-- ( Read more... )

[Riku certainly recognizes the room. it's not too hard to at least figure out what this woman means to Oliver.

he smiles, a little. it's sad, but...

he'll keep his silence for the moment, though. let Oliver enjoy himself first]

[he doesn't notice Riku at first, just sitting quietly with Chloe, enjoying her presence even if he can't quite feel it like he wants to]

[Riku really doesn't want to interrupt...he doesn't know how long these things actually last.

he doesn't want to take any time away from Oliver]

[that's okay because Chloe notices the sphere even if Oliver doesn't] Ollie, what is that!?

Huh? [looks up in surprise at the sphere, his eyes widening a bit. isn't this a dream?] Riku?

[and now he feels like some kind of voyeur] Ah, yes. I apologize.

I'll let you two have your privacy.

No, no, wait! Ollie. [elbows him, giving him a questioning look. what is wrong with you?] Introduce us.

[yes, that's Oliver blushing. although he's still not sure how she can see Riku at all] Uh...Riku, this is Chloe. Chloe, this is my friend Riku.

[awkwardly nods his head] Hello. It's nice to meet you.

[pauses] Err, Oliver...you know you're awake, don't you?

Nice to meet you, too! That's some hair you have! Very...Gandalf. [she glances at Oliver with a grin]

[Oliver, however, is staring at Riku] I am!? But... [looks from Chloe to Riku, as if saying, explain this, then!]

...it's very what?

I think it's the same as...erm, what was happening before. Except the content is much improved.

Gandalf! Um...you probably don't have that film on your planet. Sorry. He has very nice silver hair. Before Moria, anyway, but that's rather beside the point. I just meant you're handsome. Do many people have silver hair on your world, then?

[frowns] You mean...it's temporary.

They--... [he's just generally not sure what to make of this] Not too many. It's based on a recessive gene. But common enough in some areas.

[nods silently]

[she glances between them now, clearly concerned by the look on Oliver's face] What's temporary? Ollie...are you leaving again? [the fear and dismay in her voice are unmistakable]

[Oliver's eyes widen, and he immediately pulls her into a hug] No, I'm not! That's not what I meant. We were talking about...something with the sphere. Right, Riku?

dawnward June 23 2009, 05:22:37 UTC
[nods again] Right, just that.

[...it's so sad. he tries to keep it from showing on his expression.

he has to wonder if this is really better than the other illusions they were experiencing]

[gives Riku a grateful look, holding Chloe for a moment more before he pulls back, trying to sound natural] Sorry, Riku. I'm being rude! Uh...have I told you about Chloe before?

[Chloe still looks a bit dubious, but a faint smile touches her lips] I'm starting to get the impression you've told everyone.

[he smile slowly makes a comeback] You may have, but why not tell me about her again? I'm sure she'd love to make some comments herself, in case you get anything wrong.

[he scoffs] I wouldn't get anything wrong! This is my girlfriend, Chloe Elliot--the most amazing girl on Earth. See, I got that right, didn't I? [turns to Chloe, smiling fondly]

[she elbows him again] You're daft.

Well, yeah, but you knew that. Riku, Chloe's been waiting for me here on Earth while I've been travelling with the Doctor.

Yeah, two months, and all I get is a mad e-mail!

[she's teasing, but Oliver frowns, squeezing her hand] Sorry.

[she frowns back at him] Ollie, I said it's okay. And don't think I haven't figured out that it's been more than two months for you. Look at all these people you've met!
