[Insight on Dominic's world = +3. There's some continuity with some of his older dreams, and while it doesn't tell him that much more, it still confirms a few things.

TECHNICALITIES SET ASIDE. Aw Anemone. c: ...Despite the tragic ending, one'd suppose. THAT also put aside, however...]

Will you be fine with that wound, Dominic? [It might come off as a bit cold, but he does know that Dominic can take care of himself, especially considering what he knows of his background. ...Sure, he can offer healing, but then he'd have to ask Dominic to not turn around and ask questions even when he hears a gunshot go off behind him - shooting yourself after saying you'd heal your friend would probably look REALLY weird. :|;]

[unfearful]

[Insert same explanation of why it takes Dominic some time to pick up here. ... And yes, that would look really, really weird indeed.

He nods.]

I'll be fine. It's nothing I haven't handled before.

[Okay, so Mischa actually treated his burns before he arrived here, but he had to continue looking after them, so it totally counts.]

[carpo_vita]

[That's fine he figured as much. "...No matter what you hear, please don't turn around." won't cut it will it orz

He stares back. With a calm and lightly curious expression, and probably longer than he should have, but it's not unnerving or with intent; seems like he's just thinking to himself.

Then he nods and picks the conversation back up.]

If you do say so, then I won't ask more. ...This is worrisome, though. It seems like dream effects are being carried over onto ourselves after we wake up, and people are dreaming about getting hurt more often, too. Do you think that these events may be related?

[unfearful]

... It's possible. This place has influenced our dreams before, after all.

[Back when everyone was having nightmares, though Dominic would rather not dwell on that for too long.]

Though if this is just another regular occurrence, then it shouldn't last for much longer.

[carpo_vita]

We can only presume so much, as usual. [He doesn't sigh, but there's a faint tone of weariness.]

...True, though that may give way to something bigger after. This place has built up on shifts often enough in the past to make this troubling, and while we can't do much to prepare for what that may be upcoming, maybe we can still try to guess where this is all heading.

[unfearful]

[Dominic, on the other hand, does sigh.]

Where this is all heading, huh...

... It feels a bit like the line between reality and dreams is becoming further blurred, although I guess you could argue that such a line never really existed to begin with.

[Though, to be honest, he's a little distracted with his recent conversations with Vincent and Break. He's calmed down since then, but some of the anger and bitterness still lingers.]

[carpo_vita]

[Minato nods.]

I think so too. This world is still our current reality, so regardless of whether or not this is a Dream World, it's still true that what should be our dreams and what is our reality are merging.

[...

He won't say anything yet. Dominic DID tell him several times that if he needs help with anything, he'll tell him - so Minato won't comment on your somewhat sourly mood, because it's still coming through. ...At least, not yet.

He's staring, though. His eyes are definitely questioning. 8|]

[unfearful]

Yeah. There've been other things like this too, such as when we could enter others' dreams...

[...]

[Yeah, he notices that questioning look.]

... Is there something you want to ask me?

[carpo_vita]

Also the instance where many lived as if they've been here all their lives. Unless our entire environment changes, it seems that shifts that change people's memories never manages to affect everyone.

[...Hm, in that case...]

Yes. You seem to have something on your mind. Are you alright? [One way of putting it - a mild one too, or so he tried.]

[1/2]

[unfearful]

Ah...

[2/2]

[unfearful]

[A weak smile. He should've expected this, shouldn't he?]

Minato, has anyone told you you're too perceptive for your own good?

[Don't worry, he's not trying to dodge the question.]

[carpo_vita]

[He mirrors the faint smile. Totally a sense of déjà vu, here.]

Yes. I think that you have, actually.

...You would know about what I'd ask now too, wouldn't you?

[unfearful]

Have I...?

[He closes his eyes for a moment as he rubs his temple, before he opens them again.]

Don't worry about it. Just... had a few annoying conversations.

[carpo_vita]

Mm. I try not to abuse it. [He's joking, but that's a nice poker face.

The gray eyes grow attentive and serious again at that, though.]

You're not easily annoyed. [Unless...]

[1/2]

[unfearful]

[He smiles faintly, and somewhat mirthlessly.]

... I think a few people might disagree with you there.

[Himself included--you clearly haven't seen him in enough situations if that's what you think. 8|;]

[2/2]

[unfearful]

[Then the smile fades, as he looks away.]

They had to do with Vincent Nightray, if that's what you're wondering.
