Dreams? She quirked a brow as he continued, explaining that this series of supposed dreams had ended with him making a pact with some presence he had been speaking to in the dream. Since then, he’d experienced a few changes.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“Yes, I noticed earlier that your senses seemed heightened. No normal human would have been able to sense the Horsemen from that distance, after all,”</span>she replied, recalling earlier events.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">“But just so I’m clear, you made a pact in what you <span style="font-style: italic">thought</span> was a dream, then experienced these changes in the real world, yet you still believed it to be a dream?”</span>she wondered curiously. She guessed that without knowledge of demons, it was probably hard to explain, so perhaps that was why he didn’t think too much of it. Most people probably wouldn’t. After all, it wasn’t easy to come to terms with something like that.<br/><br/>When he went to work loading fresh rounds, she went to work preparing the meat and other items she’d found. She was just starting to cook the food when he took the second bottle of vodka ad told her he was going to test a theory and try to replicate what he’d done before. She nodded, grateful that he moved away, just in case. She continued to cook, but divided her attention, glancing up to watch him as he attempted to repeat what he’d done before.<br/><br/>It initially didn’t seem like anything was happening, but within a few moments, both his hand and the bottle were encased in a thin layer of ice. She shook her head and chuckled to herself when he seemed to once again curse in his native tongue. As he broke off the ice, she checked on the food, looking back up at him only when he’d spoken again.<br/><br/>She listened to his words in silence until he asked what she thought of it. She took a moment to consider how to answer.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“I think it could be useful, and it is pretty cool,”</span>she agreed,<span style="color: #00BFFF">“But that said, you should be careful. Demons are dangerous and should be taken seriously. You should be mindful of yourself, your desires, and your emotions. If you lose your head, you might just lose yourself completely,”</span>she explained, looking down at the cooking food instead of him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">“If the demon takes over, it’s rare that anyone comes back,”</span>she explained with a soft voice.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“I’ve lost enough friends and comrades that way…”</span>her voice trailed off before she said anymore. She tried not to think about those whose lives she was forced to take before they wiped out even more of the people she cared about. Those weren’t memories she wished to relive.<span style="color: #00BFFF">“Anyways, as long as you are careful, I could definitely see some uses for it,”</span>she offered with a small smile, trying not to kill the mood.
