[suncolors]

Oh...

That's odd.

[ a small hmmm and the sound of twigs and whatever else snapping or brushing away under tiny feet ]

Perhaps, a dream.

I wonder if I'll see my mum this time. That would be nice

[wholivedagain]

... Your mum?

voice; 1/2

[suncolors]

[ wondering whar that voice comes from >.> ]

voice;

[suncolors]

[ sorry she's ignoring question...or rather, distracted by :o voice from ??? wherever >.> ]

Are you a part of my dream too?

voice; haha, sorry ;.;

[wholivedagain]

[notes that the voice sounds familiar only-younger, much younger]

Er, not exactly. I'd say I'm just as real as you are, and we aren't in a dream.

[realizes how INSTANTLY not very reassuring this is, considering, and adds:]

That doesn't mean your mum isn't here. This is a special place.

voice; aww why sorry ?_? <333? /pat

[suncolors]

[ pause ]

Oh.

[ the previous sound of walking through forest stops...maybe he can hear a stream that seems to be loud enough to be close by---not that it's very loud, but perceivable]

You're...quite sure it isn't a dream?

I don't think I can see her anywhere else...

voice; I feel bad about recommenting.

[wholivedagain]

I'm sure it isn't, but that doesn't mean ...

[is it bad to lie? he pauses in his words, to think of how he'd have felt. and he doesn't know it's a lie, he rationalizes, but with all these cursed people, he realizes it's likely just as he thinks it is.]

... It doesn't mean that she isn't here.

Are you out there all alone?

voice; aww don't . it happens! also you're very speedy, so points! XD strikes=thoughts

[suncolors]

[ shuffle shuffle... ]

Well, I don't think I'm alone...somehow I don't think mum is here after all. not exactly...

And I don't mind the dark, really.

But where is this? If not a dream...

voice;

[wholivedagain]

It's a place called the City. People are brought here from time to time. I just arrived the other day, and I guess you-I guess you arrived just now, didn't you?

... But how are you not alone?

voice;

[suncolors]

Mm, I think so...though it feels a bit familiar, I can't say why...

[ re: alone, she thought he meant in general and now she pauses, a little bit of a tilting one's head to the side moment ]

Oh, well...only that I still have dad...? Even if he doesn't seem to be here...

voice; note: I am cursing Harry for Sunday, but remaining uncursed here

[wholivedagain]

Oh, all right.

Would you ... like someone to come find you then? Or-something?

My name's Harry, by the way.

voice; that's cool <3 duly noted.

[suncolors]

Hello Harry.

My name is Luna.

[ pause, consider the offer, pause hm hm hmmm ]

...perhaps if you could help me find my way back?

I can usually find it but...

voice;

[wholivedagain]

[a noticeable pause, and then:]

I really think I'd like to help you, Luna. I can bring you back, too. Not to home, but a place just like it. Or it might just feel that way.

voice;

[suncolors]

[ tentative pause ]

I...don't know how to find you.

But that would be very kind.

voice;

[wholivedagain]

I think I can hear where you are.

A stream, Luna?

voice;

[suncolors]

A stream, and [ in a whispering tone ] a lion.

voice;

[wholivedagain]

... A lion?
