five. she dreamt.

[beagabhainn]

They were right. What it said...it was all true.

[Her little voice sounds a bit teary. She looks thin and pale and her hair is uncombed.]

All I wanted was home. That's all everyone ever wants. Even fairies. [River swallows, hard.But we couldn't go home. Some of us had to leave and some of us were taken, and...some of us never had one to leave

[He might not be your brother, and he might not be able to take you home, but -]

Hey. I need to head to the inn to start cooking. Would you like to come with me?

Or I could bring you something, if you like.

[The idea of anyone being alone right now doesn't sit well with him, clearly.]

[beagabhainn]

[Her eyes flicker to his face.]

I know who you are. You shared yourself like the rest of us.

[He wonders at her meaning for a moment before it clicks. Sharing himself. One of his dreams - the first, even. He gives a little nod.]

Mm.

[beagabhainn]

[There's some silence to wonder back at him.]

It might be better, that way. If you keep something inside, then it's always there. But I didn't start out that way. I had a stationary place.

[ Ahiru is blissfully ignorant considering she didn't see the dreams, but she doesn't like seeing people down regardless. ]

Um.. I'm sure we'll be able to go home soon.. We probably have to hang in there just a little bit longer.

[beagabhainn]

No. No. Didn't you hear?

[She fusses with her hair, distressed.]

They won't take me back.

[sittingahiru]

Even if it doesn't seem that way, there will always be someone waiting for you. I think it's that way for everyone.

[Her eyes start to drift away from the screen.]

He can't go back either. It's not speculation. [pause.] He knew it, and he did it anyway. Did it for me.
