It takes a few minutes before Aya shows up at his door, wanting to wait until the worst of the shock and horror had faded, though both are still clear upon her face when she cracks the door open and peeks inside. And mixed in with them, she's very worried.
She can't bring herself to speak just yet. She's just looking at him, half-hiding behind the door.
He senses that she's there and looks over at the door. Ran has managed to school his face so that it looks less fearful. But, he knows she saw. And he knows how pale his skin is right now. Far more than it usually is.
Pushing some of his hair back from his face, he looks away. "You can come in, Aya."
Aya slips inside without a word, slowly making her way to the bed and sitting down on the edge. She chews her lip with her gaze set on the floor while she tries to figure out what to say.
It only takes two seconds to realize there's nothing she can say yet. He's just as shaken as she is and it shows; the only thing she can do is lean over and hug him tightly.
Ran wraps his arms around her and just rests his head on her shoulder. That dream is possibly his biggest fear. He sees it all too often. It's why he keeps his weapons hidden from her at all times.
Closing his eyes, he notices that his hands are shaking. He quickly forces them to be still.
[ He hates to stumble upon these dreams like this, but worse, leave without saying something, because after glimpsing into someone's life like that, it would feel highly improper. ]
