{31} addressing things [voice post]

[hero_of_dark]

Oi, Shou.

I'd like to speak with you relatively soon. In person, if possible.

And I mean actually speak with you as in a real conversation, not just a passing few lines out of one or both of us

[Johan jerks awake, sitting up from where he was napping, looks around quickly, then relaxes, though is still shaky.]

Dream...dream...[mutter] Nightmare.

[hero_of_dark]

..........

Johan...

Nightmare like what, if you don't mind describing...?

[eightgemmaster]

[Johan straightens up some, takes in a few deep breaths.]

I...well... [It's still vivid in his mind, just the thought of actually saying it is just...argh...] It was...

[hero_of_dark]

...You don't have to if it was that bad.

[He goes up to Johan and embraces him in an attempt to be comforting.]

You've never had nightmares before as far as I know, but... hopefully it won't happen again.

Why?

[hero_of_dark]

Honestly?

Both because I'm curious and because I'm suspicious.

I heard from Kaiser that you haven't so much as spoken to him once since arriving here. Any Shou that doesn't even greet his brother at the very least... there's something wrong with that.

That, and some of the reactions you've had to some of us and some of the things you've said to go along with them are far from normal for you, at least as I know you.

I am not interested in talking to anyone here.

I believe you made it clear, when you said something about different worlds or whatever, that I am not the one you know.

[hero_of_dark]

No, you're obviously not. But isn't that all the more reason to make me curious?

This is a closed compound. It's not like you can just bottle yourself up in your room all day, every day, in order to avoid talking to everyone else for the duration of your stay... or however long it is until you die here.
