[Accidental second level! Elk is awake, if only briefly. He looks sleepy, and he's pressed one hand veeeery lightly on his throat.]

That...That lady - it hurts. 'm awake and it hurts.

Mia...I saw her, I really did...so why...

Dreams aren't supposed to hurt you...right? And my neck - it's bruised...

[Ping'd by mention of bruise.]

... What happened?

[not_tsukasa]

I was asleep, and I dreamed that I was someplace else and a lady in blue with long hair - s-she tried to choke me.

Only, my neck actually hurt in the dream and it's actually hurting now. It's bruised. S-see? [Pulls down the red turtleneck thingy a little so that Klavier can (hopefully) see the bruise.]

[einspruch]

[Frowns.] Hmm.

[Looks closely at his neck.] Right there? I don't see anything. And you say it hurts?

[not_tsukasa]

Yeah...It really does hurt!

[vanguarding]

... Not normally. But there are dreams that hurt whether they're supposed to or not.

May I see this bruise?

[not_tsukasa]

Okay. [pulls down the turtleneck thingy so that she can (hopefully) see the Manor of Sleep-induced bruise.]

[vanguarding]

...... [Obviously, Lucia can't. |D Sorry Elk. She's eye-ing your neck, but can't find even a trace of a bruise.]

[...] Don't move. [And she's going to be (gently!) putting a few fingers on the spot Elk is saying there's a bruise at. She can't see one, but... Well, let's just see if there's a reaction.]

[not_tsukasa]

[!!!] U-um...Please don't press too hard...!

[a_ccidentalism]

Not physically.

[not_tsukasa]

B-but this one hurts physically! T-there's a bruise...!

[a_ccidentalism]

Maybe you got bruised while you were half-awake and don't remember how?

[not_tsukasa]

N-no, I was sleeping...I know it was a dream, but I got bruised in the dream...it still hurts.

[eternal_fool]

[Hmm, a bruise and a lady?]

May I see the bruise?

[not_tsukasa]

Um, o-okay. [pulls down the turtleneck thingy so that Minato can (hopefully) see the bruise.]

[eternal_fool]

[Strange...No one should be able to get a bruise like that just by sleeping.]

Does it still hurt?

[not_tsukasa]

Mm-hmm. [Nods.] It still...It hurts.
