Seodai was too relieved with the return of Cian's consciousness to notice the blood, at least initially. He sighed in relief and dragged one hand through his own wild locks. That had not been a journey he would have ever chosen, and he really didn't understand how it had happened at all. When Noc questioned him, Seodai dropped his hand to touch the place where the healer had stabbed him in his dream. He was perfectly well, of course. He shrugged one shoulder inelegantly and nodded. "Yes, I think so..." In that same moment he noticed the trickle of crimson from the corner of Noc's mouth. He reached out to brush it away with the pad of his thumb, his brow furrowing in consternation. "Noc," he asked warily, the sudden vision of bloodhounds filling his thoughts. "Did they get you?" A strange conversation to have, to be sure. Discussing dreams as if they were as real as the hand that rest idly atop one of Noc's thighs for balance, as the sinewy muscle beneath his fingers. But that dream had certainly been that way, and shared too. Something was different about it. |
