[Vincent and dreams was something Alice wanted to absolutely not think about. But then, falling asleep with the Hitomi in hand...and seeing this dream, feeling the contentment there, it made her uncomfortable - made her reach up, ghost her fingertips across the place where scissors had cleaved flesh in another dream.
She shuddered at the memory, then glanced back down, focused instead on Elliot's young tantrum and his older, more familiar self. alive. So very, gloriously, alive.
It's lovely, truly, which is why she scrambles out of her bed, trips on a wayward sheet, and takes off out of her room and down the engawa to Elliot's room, not even bothering to get changed from her nightgown. Once inside, she hedges around past Leo's bed, then takes a leap, bounces slightly down to share the pillow with her favorite Nightray. As soon as she does, she holds the Hitomi up above them.]

[It's rare that Elliot sleeps particularly deeply, but he's not a morning person so if there's no nightmare and no Leo waking him up he sleeps in late. So when Alice leaps onto his bed, he's asleep but easy to wake and so, he jumps awake and pushes himself halfway up on one arm.
It takes him a moment or two to realise it's Alice on his bed, but when he does he groans tiredly and flops back down, rubbing a hand over his face and giving her a confused look. He hasn't slept enough, damn it.
...wait, what?]
Hm...? What the hell makes that worth waking me up for?
[Yeah, he's just going to turn and bury his face in the pillow. Go away.]
[See that lump amongst the covers on Elliot's other side? That would just so happen to be Leo, curled up. You might see a number of messy hairs poking out from under the covers here and there, but his face is mostly hidden.
That is... until Alice leaps upon the bed and disturbs his once peaceful slumber. And he's not as nice about it as Elliot is.
This is one of his arms, blindly removing itself from the heap of covers and trying to swat the Hitomi away from Alice with a grunt. This kind of excitement isn't necessary over one of Vincent's dreams.
He really doesn't want to know what it is this time.]
[Aaand there goes the Hitomi, right out of her hand. She blinks, blinks again, then leans up enough to glare over Elliot to said lump in the bed.]
You're gonna pick that up, Glasses.
[Point made, she drops back down to rest on her side, one hand tucked under Elliot's pillow as she falls to rest there again - because she's getting used to this, having to share her post-dreams-bothering Elliot time with Leo.
(Though usually, they're already awake so she can sit at the end of the bed, but no mind. Elliot only needs half a pillow, right?)
So she settles there for the moment, content to smile sleepily.]
Because it's not like his last dream of you. It's... nice.
[Nice. As in the Elliot's not dead and Vincent didn't kill her kind of nice.]
[She's just checking, really. Saw the dream up on her Hitomi and wondered. How Vincent was doing now, whether he was okay.
Obviously, he is better. The dream is so nice. Well, two brothers dancing together like that seems vaguely strange to her, but not enough to elicit more than a briefly raised eyebrow from her, only for her to forget the whole thing as she is swept up in the happiness of the dream.]
I'm doing all right. I was concerned, after that other wave of... strange dreams... that things would fall apart for me. But my friends are quite supportive.
[Ginko didn't dream this--he saw it when he was checking his Hitomi this morning (amazing how he's so used to the things now). It's nice, actually, to see a good dream around here--one that isn't bloody, violent, or otherwise unpleasant. Especially to see it as Vincent's. The few times he'd spoken to the man... well, everyone needed reminders that there were good things, too.
He lets out a low chuckle. He saw the rather cute video between Vincent and that blonde boy.]

Good morning, Fai!
[He does his best to catch his friend, though his movements are a little slow for having just woken up.]
Are you sure it's morning yet???

It's morning! I'm awake! Let's have strawberry pancakes and toast, and I've been up for hours and I saw a deer in the backyard.
[The biggest grin.]
It was right by our window, but it ran away.

[Vincent laughs and hugs the boy, even jostles him about a bit, as he pushes himself up more.]
Did it have great big antlers? Or was it a little baby?

So he smiles from his current position - in the kitchen now - and simply responds.]
A dream about family.

[Vincent shrugs.]
It's a function of this device. Apparently the gods don't believe in privacy. I wouldn't go hunting for the rest of my dreams, you wouldn't like them.

Ah, that's so nice...

It is, isn't it? I suppose someone has to have a nice one, once in a while.
[He laughs softly.]
I'm glad you got to see this one, as well.
Reply
Mh, it's a nice change of pace! And it's good to see you dreaming nice things. Weird as that sounds.
[A short pause, in which... just the slightest, barely-there hint of a shadow clouding her warm expression.]
Are you doing all right, then?

How are you?

Having fun?

[The easy, open laugh is something unfamiliar, a little too real.]
There's nothing like a kid-tackle to start your day.

I'll take your word for it.
It's been a while since we've talked. Been doing alright?

[He isn't lying to people near as often lately. Why? What is it that's changing?]
And you, Ginko? Have you been well?
