His studies had led him to become very familiar with his surroundings. Nakago now felt confident that he could interact more freely with those who were here and recognize those who were new. Much like the young man before him. His blue eyes wandered over him and he smirked for a moment. There was intelligence in that expression. It was not difficult to miss.
Letting his long legs carry him forward, Nakago stopped before the younger man. Intelligence would be something useful in a place like this.
"Are you lost?"
This younger man was tall but he still managed to be taller than him.
Light brought his head up at the appearance of such a tall, exotic man, his curiosity piqued immediately by his foreign attire. If anyone could be able to confirm the possibility of it all being a dream on presentation alone, it was this guy.
Light shook his head, giving Nakago a confident, but respectful smirk back. "Even though 'lost' isn't the first word I would use, I don't exactly know where I am, either... which, I suppose isn't much different from being lost to begin with," he responded, chuckling.
"That I can answer," Nakago stated calmly. "You're in a dream world known as Somarium." He let his blue eyes wander over him with mild curiosity. The man didn't have the build of someone who was a fighter. Then again, there were very few in any world who had intelligence and physical strength.
All the same, he was intriguing. Confident but respectful. Mix that with intelligence and he could be a valuable ally or a dangerous foe. After all, there was probably more to this one than what came across first.
"Somarium?" he mimicked, glancing back up at that castle in the sky. That, more than anything, was a surefire sign that he was dreaming. Nothing could just suspend itself in midair like that. Nothing he'd seen, anyway. "Interesting... so what you're saying is that all of this is just a product of my imagination, huh? Pretty creative... I've got to hand it to myself. It's unique, but not too surreal to the point of being excessive. Almost abstract..."
Nakago chuckled softly in amusement. "You didn't create this place. You had no hand in making this place look this way. Nor in bringing others here to enjoy it with you." The assumption could be understandable but a jump to a conclusion all the same. It wasn't the truth of the matter.
"..." He paused to give the man a strange look, as if he'd just said something completely ridiculous ... which he pretty much did, to anyone unfamiliar with Somarium. "All right, slow down a second. A dream, by it's very nature, is the product of someone's imagination, wouldn't you agree? If this isn't my dream, then what you're really saying is that I'm the product of someone else's imagination. Which is... impossible, sorry."
Nakago was confident still, even after hearing the words. "Logic would tell you this, yes. But this is also another world. Something more than a simple dream." Other worlds was something he was familiar with personally. His own priestess wasn't from his world. Someday, he would make sure to make it to hers. It would be a worthwhile experience.

Although Light wasn't as in tune with the concept, he too was familiar with it, in a way. He's been told of a Shinigami realm before, and has been more than incline to believe it ever since obtaining the Death Note. He was certain of the paranormal, but could this really be another world?
"...Another world?" he once again questioned, another hint of doubt accompanied in his voice. "Like another dimension, you mean. Just out of curiosity, what evidence do you have to give me that you're not just a dream entity claiming to be something more than that?
You'll have to excuse me for being somewhat skeptical... I mean, another world? Come on... that can't really be the case, can it?"
No worries! Delays happen!seiryuu_warriorJanuary 10 2010, 00:05:23 UTC
The younger man was cute. Letting logical reasoning interrupt what could be the reality of the situation. Nakago kept his feelings about the situation in check as he continued to look down at this man.
"It is possible to have other worlds. That is the reality of my own. Evidence would be difficult to come by and best gathered in this place." He studied him a moment longer and smiled.
"Would you really believe evidence given to you in what you think is a dream?"
"I suppose you have a point there," he responded with a light-hearted chuckle, loosening up just a little bit from his skeptical tension. "It seems the only way I could know for sure is to experience it for myself. If I don't wake up soon, I could almost be certain that this isn't an ordinary dream. Then again, they say even the longest dreams could span mere seconds in real time..."
"Then feel free to enjoy your dream. But does your dream body come with a name I can call you?" The intelligence of this young man was amusing. He knew minds that could think like this but they were so rare to find. Such a young mind could prove to be useful in this place.
"Heh, of course," he said light-heartedly, offering the man a friendly smirk. "It's Light." He shrugged. "And I assume yours must come with one as well, could I be wrong?" Light could stand to befriend a few strong-minded people around here as well, dream or not.
Light. An interesting name. But the uniqueness of it would make it easier to recall later. He certainly had never encountered another with such a name before. "You are not. I am Nakago."
"Nakago... I'll remember that," Light returned, contemplatively nodding to himself. "Well, it was nice talking to you. I think I might have a bit of a more solid understanding of what's going on here, after all... Thanks."
Nakago bowed his head politely. It was respectful but not overly so. There was no reason for it to be anything more than that. He was ready to use Light but nothing more than that. "It was a pleasure. Please take care."
"Yeah, I'll see you around." Light waved. Despite the strange and foreign aura surrounding the man, he was a nice bit of company, all things considered.
Letting his long legs carry him forward, Nakago stopped before the younger man. Intelligence would be something useful in a place like this.
"Are you lost?"
This younger man was tall but he still managed to be taller than him.
