[Elfangor's immediate urge is to suspect--Yeerk!--but no, that would make no sense. A Yeerk would not give itself away so readily. And there was the change in appearance, and that this new personality seemed to have misplaced its host. No, had to be something very different. But still, it seemed to be a matter of dual minds within one body. Was Juudai (wherever he was at the moment) aware of this possession? Was it willing? But Elfangor could not seek out answers to these questions now.
Instead, he turns his attention to the dream itself. Or perhaps not so much a dream as a vision, if his suspicions were correct. Amaterasu... one of the gods of this place, then. Elfangor is all too familiar with how gods have a tendency to skew one's place in space and time. Is that what this was? But then why leave this awareness, this other personality behind?
He is not certain how to approach this... person. Whoever they are. But he can sympathize with feeling at a loss after being pulled, as it were, by a higher force in a direction one does not

[ { Yubel catches this message on her way to the Amaterasu Shrine near Hisato - on foot. (You know, not that Juudai's body isn't of course perfect in its own right, it would be really nice if she had her wings and didn't have to bother with walking. Just a thought. Throwing it out there.)
Also, she caught that tone of voice. You think you're extremely clever, don't you, Neo-Spacian? } A very knowing look to go with that sentiment. ]
Not this particular one, no. But I have had the experience of being relocated from where I was supposed to be by one such higher being.
[Granted, the Ellimist had a very different idea of where he was "supposed to be," but that was not relevant to this situation.
And he catches that look, but rather than returning a similarly snarky one, he responds only with sympathy. He may not know the exact nature of this person's connection with Juudai, and it seems uncomfortably close to the parasitism engaged by the Yeerks--but if they are racing off in the direction he suspects, then they must care very much about having Juudai returned safely. A Yeerk would only be concerned insofar as having a useful host. Definitely not a Yeerk then, and he shoves aside his suspicions of dishonorable intent.]
I do not know who you are, but I am sorry for your situation. Being abruptly separated so unexpectedly from someone with whom you are that close... I hope the gods return him to you swiftly.

Just for a moment. } ]
[ A bitter laugh: ] You trust far too easily, Neo-Spacian.
