[ They turn the question back on the Drifter, as much as it hurts to do so. Dreams are full of pain, of light; this is nothing new to them.
(They can feel their 'eyes' burn; that has never happened before. They raise a cautious hand, wondering if something has burned away in the Drifter's semi-realisation, and find its opposite.
They're not sure why there's - it's tears, isn't it? - that wetness there, or what to do with it; it feels alien to them, a way of expressing their feelings they have never had. But they can't seem to figure out why it's happening, or how to stop.)
That sickly smell catches their attention. They remember the tentacles, the island bursting to life, dragging people away. (but more viscerally they remember husks, orange light, that rotting smell of things long dead being pushed past their limits) ]
this is a world you wanted |
i think ? |
[ To be happy. To not be sick, to have everyone and everything they want around them.
It's a little alien to the Knight, they have to admit. But it clearly means much to the Drifter, who once had more that they later lost. ]
