[Matt doesn't really think of Misa as having that much to her. He knows that's not fair, but her entire personality has always seemed to consist of an endless loop of GOTO LIGHT lines, starting from way back in their world when Mello was watching her.
But now, feeling how things have affected her, even if it's just in her subconscious, he finds himself revising his opinion. Finds himself thinking she does it on purpose, which means there is something underneath, that she's afraid to look at. Depths too dark to think about, and that makes her interesting.
And there's a lot he could say, if he felt like it, like how he's resented L, but still felt some of the awe that's practically inescapable, enough that he took a perverse thrill in being borderline rude to him. And how he was starting to get over that when L got sent home, and now Matt wonders if he managed to win, and hopes he did, 'cause hey, at least that Matt and Mello would probably make it

[Reaction | Video] Late mun is laaaate~ pinktintedgamonMay 17 2011, 17:43:36 UTC
[As Raikou watches this dream, feels an odd sense of displacement, of too much hidden within the emptiness, he can’t help but wonder if Gau knew anything - anything at all - about his employee and former employee.
There are layers upon layers of suspicion and deceit and oddly enough, acceptance and resignation. Enough to tell him they are nothing like they appear, at any rate.
So after only a moment’s hesitation, Raikou flicks on the video and cants his head to the side. It’s late (or early, depending on one’s perspective) yet he’s clearly still awake, with a half eaten scone on a plate and a cooling cup of tea hear the scroll he’s got pinned open before him. A quick brush of long cerise locks from his eyes, eyes that reflect an honest concern, before he asks gently.]
Misa-san? Forgive the intrusion, but… are you alright?
[Misa stares uncomprehendingly at the message for a few seconds, eyes half-lidded with sleep. Alright? Yes, she is alright. Annoyed with herself for having a dream about him of all people. Sorely missing Light, for having the thought that he should never disappear fresh in her mind only to awaken in a world where he is gone. But otherwise she is even more unaffected by the dream awake than she was while inside of it.]
[Just a stupid dream. All the more reason to be surprised by Raikou's concern.]
Misa is okay.
[She blearily rubs her eyes before focusing on the device again.]
Just a bad dream.
[... One that is kind of really bad for other to see, now that she thinks about it. The Notebook didn't come up, so that's good, but... the way she sees the world-- if anyone here knows about Shinigami eyes, it won't be hard to figure out. If anyone here knows about Shinigami it won't be hard to figure out, thanks to Rem's appearance.]
[For a moment, he's not really sure what to say. He wants to ask her about it, to try to understand it, yet at the same time... he knows he doesn't know her well enough to be that bold.
Even so, the lonliness that the dream had reflected, the solitude, those are things he can't easily ignore anymore.
So instead, he smiles a bit and changes the subject, not wanting to leave her with that feeling of isolation if he can help it.]
Did you want to go back to sleep... or can I ask how things are at the bakery? I'm afraid I haven't been able to check in properly enough since I left.
Mm, Misa is sleepy, but Misa can talk a little bit. [Not that Raikou is someone she really wants to talk to, but, employer. Should make an effort to play nice, even if he's in some far off land at the moment.]
The bakery is fine, Misa is selling lots of yummy things. [And she has totally not been contemplating a takeover, with you away "finding yourself" or whatever.] Where is Raikou, anyway? And how long is Raikou going to be gone?
