Uriel simply lets the girl touch their hands, offering no forms of resistance. 

"No, not often. I do write, occasionally, but my powers are often detrimental to any attempts at self defense. I tried learning some a while ago, but it did not go well." They sigh, slightly embarrassed about the memory. 

"Overall, my abilities... Are not very useful. What are yours, if I might ask?" Uriel asks, using their one free hand to tighten their braid.
Rodney
"I guess you're more of a sleepy sage type? I-I mean... You can gather in-information from others? H-Heard that dead people can visit dreams to warn others or j-just wanted to see them?" Rai was astounded that this person's hands are so delicate and dainty. "U-uh... I c-can turn partial m-monster f-from native legends.."
Roy
"Maybe so, but I feel as if the only reason a power like mine could be used is for purposes of manipulation. Showing people their greatest desires, their worst nightmares... All illusions designed to harm." Uriel looks over at Rai, and smiles. 

"You, however, you can protect people with your powers... It's a very honorable ability."
Rodney
"I-I don't know..." Rai responded quietly. "Lived alone for as long as I-I could remember... No family or friends wh-where I came from." She unleashed his frail hand as she turns her gaze back down to the ground. "I... Don't like a lot of humans all th-that much..." Her voice sound more hollow behind her mask.
Roy
"Well... Unfortunately, you're going to run into a lot more. But, if it helps, I can consider you a friend." Uriel smiles. 

"You're just a kid, right? You must enjoy some things. How do you feel about ice cream?" They tap their chin, deep in thought. 

"Ah, but — your mask. How do you... Eat with that thing on, if I may ask?"
Rodney
She curls up where she sits, arms circling her legs as it only made her look much smaller. "J-just a kid..?" Rai never thought of herself such as one since she grew up mostly isolated. "I-It's okay... I guess... I'm not like you... I l-lived in the wild with no parents." She buried her masked face behind her knees with a shuffling sound. "I-I lift my mask up to eat.."
Roy
"A child is still a child, even without parents around. It must've been difficult growing up all alone in the forest. No good memories... No good dreams. Taken to a place like this... Is nothing less than uncomfortable."

Uriel sighs. From their pocket, they take out a chocolate bar.

"I usually eat this chocolate to stay awake. But I know something about children, despite not having any siblings, or much of a family at all— that kids love eating chocolate. Feel free to keep it to eat later, if you'd rather not expose your face."
Rodney
How old is this guy? Raizel still didn't quite understand why they is treating her like a baby even though she is mature enough to live independently in the woods. When they takes out a chocolate bar, she can't help but try to understand where they're getting at. They're like an old withered soul trapped inside a young person's body. Then this occurred to her when she remembered a family in the reservation. Two mothers trading food because one was tired of moose meat and the other is sick of eating salmon. So both families could try eat something different that night. She digs inside her backpack for something that she picked up. Something that she heard about from Evan during their hangouts. "Trade?" And she gave them the energy drink.
Roy
Peaceful. Calm. Unshakeable. 
All adjectives used to define Uriel, and all adjectives thrown out the window once they spot the energy drink in Raizel's hand. 

"You're— you're giving me this?" They sputter, taking it gingerly and reading the label. 

"I've only heard about these. They say I'm not allowed to take them, as it could have adverse affects relating to my powers... Something about "Dreaming while awake". But..." 

Uriel stares longingly at it. "I might make my own conclusion... You know, for science... And not because I want it, or anything." They lick the corner of their lip, and open the can with a *Pop*. 

Without waiting, they down it in one gulp.
Rodney
"Mhm?" She nods, watching him contently as he takes the forbidden drink. Like Eve had present Adam the forbidden fruit of good and evil, now Uriel has a powerful Monster drink held in their hand. "You m-mean sleep walking? W-Well... I think its okay to d-drink it?" Rai rubs the back of her neck. Then she notices him licking the corner of their lip before downing the drink. Was this a mistake?
Roy
"We have about ten minutes before the caffeine is digested, and reaches my bloodstream." Uriel crunches the can, looking both ways for onlookers before he deposits it into their pocket. 

"Even as a child, I've always had my caffeine intake moderated, and stuck to a strict threshold. After all, too little and I'd be asleep constantly. But, I've never seen what the reverse had in store." 

They stare at the can in their pocket. 

"With that logic, this was most likely a bad idea, especially in front of a stranger." Uriel knits their eyebrows close together. "Oh. That seems like a really, really ill-advised idea, doesn't it?" 

They laugh sheepishly at themselves. 

"No changing it now, I suppose. You seemed like you know a lot about town, considering how quickly you managed to navigate. Would you mind showing me around? I just got to the facility, and I'm afraid I'm a little lost in a town like this..."
Rodney
"Umm... Is it a bad idea wh-when you're doing an experiment with th-the drink?" Raizel asked, now rising onto her feet. There was a strange tingle in her legs from sitting for too long that felt weird. "I-I never went to town y-yet... H-have been trying... Just... Scared going alone.." And now she wondered if Uriel is going to be alright after consuming the monster drink. What's going to happen to him now? "Uh... I don't think the people there would see me as o-one of them.."
Roy
"If you don't want to go, that's alright. But it would be best to know your surroundings, and being with someone will make it easier to stay safe... And so long as you're covered, I think you'll be fine. The townspeople have seen their share of oddities, considering how many people from the facility stop by."
Rodney
"Uriel... I d-don't think I'll be ready to go... Not just yet... Well... I-I could... I-if maybe you take me there? N-Not when you're highly c-caffinated," She said, dusting the dirt and twigs from her jeans. "I-It's difficult... Its not like the re-reservation where I-I am familiar w-with." Rai begins to stutter more. "It-It's a town..."
Roy
"Hm, that's a fair point— an already stressful scenario could turn worse if your guide passes out on you." 

Uriel suddenly stands up straighter, and squints at Rai. "Do you see that as well, or are there... Trees around you?" They poke at a shimmering veil of clouds emitting from Rai's head. In the almost-painting like surface, they see a deep dark forest. A wolf howls, and Uriel covers their ears at the volume. 

"You're— you're seeing this stuff too, right?" Sweat beads down Uriel's forehead.
Rodney
"Huh? There's tres everywhere... We're at the edge of the woods?" Raizel was beginnign to feel a little worried when beadlets are rolling down their forehead. "Nothing at all? A-all I see is you getting sweaty... Uh... Do you need to see someone?" With Rai, she is an embodiment of cold. A totem creature of winter. She is close to dragging this person to an adult to get help if they start acting more weird.
Roy
"I do need to see someone— I need to test things out." 

Uriel spins around, looking at the people sitting around on the outskirts of the area. Two people are sitting on a picnic bench, holding hands. Pouring out of one of their heads is a beautiful, pink dream— the sound of doves flapping their wings and wedding bells cement the charming dream. 

The other one, well— Uriel looks away, a faint red on their cheeks.

"Please tell me you don't see *That one*, or else I'll have to cover your eyes." Thankfully to Uriel, the dreams leaking into their vision don't seem to be visible by anyone else.
Rodney
Rai turn her glowing round eyes curiously at the couple sitting alone on a picnic bench like a couple of lovesick puppies. "No? It looks like they decided to be mates?" She gestured to their direction. "Eh..?" And she can see Uriel's face becoming red as a beet. "Did you see something bad? What's the word? Oh! One of them is horny?" The blunt freaking word she heard some teens at the highschool near the reservation mention it before.
Roy
Uriel squeezes their eyes shut. "So, it's just a me thing... Wow, this is exhausting."

They look out at a crowd of people, and their vision swims. So much *Color*, melding and mixing with each other, all with a symphony of sound blaring out, all pulling and clawing at Uriel's presence. They feel the *Tug* And immediately claw at their temple. 

The tapestry of the people's dreams and thoughts and emotions claw at their brain, and it's painful.
Rodney
"Uh... H-hey... I think you need some space, come with me." And she begins to lead them away from the people as she brings them further into the forest. Raizel made sure to steer clear from a bunch of punks so Uriel could mellow out without being overwhelmed. "When I get tired of people, I sometimes find a place where I could b-be alone with my own thoughts."
Roy
"B-but, there's *Things* In the forest, and I can't exactly defend myself. I bet they can smell the weakness in me... Or something." Uriel is reminded of how eerily similar this is to their meeting, with Rai leading them somewhere.

"It... It is beautiful, though." Uriel remarks, gazing at the trees as they get dragged.
