OOM: Tobias' Entrance

Despite what she'd said, they don't exchange a single word in the air. That they're in it is enough, together is more, is everything. There's no need to ruin it - the dream, the hallucination - with anything resembling reality.

Which is all Milliways does, anyway. Resemble reality ( Read more... )

Tobias circles and watches. Two hours.

Two hours and he didn't have a single thought. He's no closer to processing any of this than when they took off.

And the truth is that he's in no hurry to do so.

Because it's when you think about hallucinations that they stop seeming so real. And he doesn't want that to happen. Not now. Not with this.

She pauses, human, and looks up at him. He hasn't come in to land. Circling and waiting for her.

She could stay with him all day. Spend the whole day morphing over and over again, flying with him. There's no need to eat, after all, and she won't have to worry about the cold if she's in morph.

Rachel looks up at him and feels the ice on the tiles burn her feet.

They haven't said a word.

Hallucination. Dream.

But real enough.

She opens the balcony doors wide and steps inside, out of his way. There's enough furniture to choose from for a perch - couch, chair, bar stools or the countertop itself.

He doesn't really want to follow her inside. Inside means not moving, and that probably means talking.

Talking... well...

Still. It's Rachel. He can't bring himself to just fly off when she's right there.

So he circles, allowing himself to glide smoothly through the open doors. His wings flare and he lands awkwardly on the nearest available piece of furniture: the couch.

She closes the doors behind him. Not locked, of course. There's nothing in the room worth stealing, for one, and how is she supposed to get back in if she decides to morph for a day?

Priorities.

It's odd, though. Turning to see Tobias perched on the couch of her bland little-- well, almost an apartment, really. one of those nice two-room-with-a-kitchen hotel rooms. Strange to see him in Milliways.

Maybe she'd been living in a sort of dream herself these past months. This makes it seem more real.

Rachel shivers and holds up a hand, motioning for him to wait while she hurries into the bedroom.
