[unfearful]

[Dominic just watches in silence. He remembers going through the 'monster under the bed' phase.

He feels like he should say something, given that they didn't meet under ideal circumstances, but he doesn't know what.]

[She finally notices the Dreamberry, and reaches over to pick it up. She hasn't quite caught on to how the dream broadcasting works yet.]

I don't remember leaving this on...

[unfearful]

[Pause. Well, might as speak up now.]

You... probably didn't.

[psycheup]

Oh, hi. [She suppresses a yawn and smiles weakly.] I must have, unless it can turn itself on.

[psycheup]

[That is not at all creepy, Meryl. Rose isn't sure if she can hear someone on the other end or not.]

Hello...?

[psycheup]

Meryl? [There is a note of surprise in her voice.] I didn't realise you were there.

[psycheup]

Funny. You're the one worrying about me instead of the other way around for once.

But yes, everything's fine, Snake. I miss my son, that's all.

[psycheup]

That's true. Even if I was gone, Roy would be there for him.

I think I just need some time to adjust. I've never been away from him for so long.

....

*Gale's finally recognized her from an old dream of Raiden's. The boy is obvious enough...*

Do you know...Raiden?

[psycheup]

Knew him might be more accurate, but yes. I do.

[honor_tactics]

...As do I.

[psycheup]

Then... how do you know me? I can't imagine he'd talk to other people about me.

[stoicism]

[Frank doesn't know precisely how to interpret this. The affection of a mother is something foreign to him and as a soldier, he wants to point out that the boy Rose is dreaming of is certainly far too old to be talking of such meaningless things as "monsters". However, it's the name 'Roy' that stands out in his mind.]

Who is 'Roy'?

[psycheup]

My husband, Roy Campbell.

[stoicism]

Campbell does not have a wife.

[psycheup]

Of course he does. We've been together for years. Maybe you're thinking of another Roy Campbell...?
