-=If Hawke knew how to filter, he would have. Instead, he has to 'hide his words' as he makes this post. Hawke is still his usual state of undress, but he is very still when he speaks and doesn't make as many hand motions as he normally does.=-

If people cannot sleep well, I can help. Please come find me, and I will teach.


-=He looks over to the dreamcatcher that's off to the side, the one built for Negi.=-

Alphonse, I wish to come and visit, if I may. I believe I can be of some use.

-=He doesn't mind at all and shifts the package to the side as he gives the boy a strong hug, purring softly. A hand threads through his hair, petting Al.=-

All will be well, child.

-=Funny, they aren't that far apart in age, but the term doesn't sound demeaning.=-

I will do what I can to help.

[Al shuts his eyes for a few seconds. He's been so useless in this. He can't fight this enemy, he can't reason with it. All he can do is be there to watch the pain.

The hug feels good, warm, and he reassures him enough to offer a tiny smile.]

Thank you, Hawke.

-=He nods with a soft grunt, nudging the boy's head with his chin.=-

You are welcome. I will tell you how to use the dream catcher, and then mayhaps some ways to help with dreams. I am not a Dream Walker, but Poe is, and I have learned some things from him. They are important things, and are not easy to teach, sometimes.

[al_truism]

... you think you can teach me?

[golden_hawke]

I will do what I can. Even if I cannot teach as Poe does, being aware of what happens is still a large advantage. And--

-=He smirks, tugging a bit on Al's hair in the process.=-

It will help you sleep better, over all.

[A small sound at the hair tug, but he does smile back.]

I'm more worried about Negi's sleep than mine at this point.

[golden_hawke]

You should worry about yourself. -=a gentle smile=- If you are not strong, then you cannot help the people you love with your strength.

Come. We will set up the dream catcher, and I will tell you what I know.

[al_truism]

Yeah, you're right.

[He'll move to follow, showing Hawke the way.]

[golden_hawke]

-=nods, falling into step behind Alphonse in the process. There's no filling in the silence with Hawke and just waits until he's directed otherwise.=-

[al_truism]

[Al seems more worried and subdued than normal, his movements quiet and tired, but still stubborn and determined.]

Does it matter where it's put up?

[golden_hawke]

-=takes note of Al's stature, but he'll be quiet for now on it.=-

Yes. The morning sun must touch it so that it is cleaned.

[al_truism]

... the kitchen, then?

[It's in the center of the house, facing the yard and the bright morning sunlight.]

[golden_hawke]

-=Shakes his head.=- It has to be set in the place where the person sleeps. We will have to see if the sun will work there or if something else can be arranged.

[al_truism]

In that case, Negi's room. [He's very firm about it. He doesn't want Rhode torturing him, violating him, hurting him anymore.]

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=His hand brushed over Al's shoulder in comfort before following.=-

His dreams are worst?

[Offline]

[al_truism]

[Al relaxed, just a fraction, before nodding.]

For weeks now.

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

Weeks? -=frowns.=-

I would like to speak with him, if I may. This is... a large problem that I am not certain if I can fix completely. Dreams happening for that long can take a toll on the soul and weakness from the inside out is not good.

[Offline]

[al_truism]

But... you can help, right...?

[golden_hawke]

-=Walks up to Al's side, winding an arm around the boy's waist=-

I will do everything I can, Alphonse. -=But he knows his limits.=-

[Offline]

[al_truism]

[Al leans into the touch a bit. This would be a hell of a time to have Ed spot them, wouldn't it?]
