No, I fucking forgot - I'm sorry, daisychain, that's all me.
[she's laughing, though. she leans over to ruffle his hair.]
Trying to be nice to people. Gave one to Daan, the first week, to try and cheer him up. Forgot the second week entirely, last week I sent one to Aerith to try and make her feel like she wasn't alone.
[a little ): face but.]
Haven't done this week, but I've got something in mind.
He isn't afraid of me, but it feels like sometimes when he speaks to me, he's waiting for something to happen. I don't know if he believes that I'm not going to turn on him out of nowhere.
I don't think it's just you, honestly. That's how he is - won't tell you his business, obviously, but he's nervous around people. Doesn't like to be touched or even looked at that long.
[a sigh.]
He's only just starting to not be like that around me.

Oh, I know that one. [she sounds amused.] Got it. Bet you'll do great with it.
no subject
[but he nods, smiling.]
I'm going to think about the best way to use it, before the end of the week.
[and, after thinking for a second-- confidence and lack of impulse week means he finally actually asks:]
Karlach, do you mind telling me yours? I've honestly been curious for a while...
no subject
-- Did I never fucking tell you mine? Gods, you should've asked before! Only reason I haven't is because I thought I did already!
[LAUGHING HELP.]
Yeah, of course. I'm an Oni. I can send dreams to people.
no subject
[aaaa HELP. he pauses a second, surprised, before he bursts into quiet laughter.]
I thought you must have some reason not to tell me--! What have you been doing with it?
[give him the dream goss]

[he shrinks from her touch after a second.]
Sorry, it just feels a little different... I've been more sensitive.
[he's. still adjusting. it was worse yesterday when he wasn't just so sure he can tolerate it fine...]
Did it work for Monsieur Daan? I'm never very sure how he is, but I don't think he likes speaking with me much, either.
no subject
[a beat.]
You don't think so? He's a bit of a tough nut to crack. [curiously...] He told me he thought it was a nice dream. That's all that matters to me.
no subject
[how to put it.]

[well he thought daan just saw him as ready to snap at any time.]

This place is a bit of a personal nightmare for him. Wouldn't take it personally.

[HE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HIM... whew.]
