[Souji is suddenly very glad he didn't finish all that tea, though the small sandstorm that springs up in his room is enough distraction. When it clears, Tian is peacefully asleep inside a clear bubble - one that doesn't seem to budge much when Souji pokes it.
He grabs one of the floor cushions and pulls it over by the futon, and then settles in to wait.]
[A whole day passes, and then the glass cocoon breaks into normal, boring tan sand, waking the dragon up. His ears flick slightly and he sits up with a frown on his face.]
Hm. Everything was dark, and it was a bit hard to breathe. Then I heard the sound of a sword being drawn.
[He glances over at his sword belt.]
A fight broke out, in pitch darkness, and my opponent seemed to match my strength perfectly. Yet the fighting style was much different from my own. It was getting harder to breathe, too.
[Tian frowns slightly.]
Then I heard a voice, calling out to watch out behind me. It was a familiar voice, but I can't quite place it. A male's voice, and he told me to keep fighting even though my breathing got worse.
[Souji can feel his mouth go a little dry with fear - he wants to pretend this has nothing to do with him, to hide his weakness. But the name of this particular game is trust, and if he can't tell Tian this much...
[Tian's eyes widen a little at that, but then he nods slightly. It made sense that he would see Souji's dream, since he had been instructed to give it to someone he trusted.]
[And that gesture makes the secret in question very, very clear. But after all this - he can't lie about it, not now. So he glances away, swallows audibly]

Date: 2011-04-28 10:22 pm (UTC)From:It was rather vivid, but very dark. I think it was a memory... but not mine.
