It is a very ordinary-looking thing, really.

Small. Lacking in detail, slightly tarnished, even. The black stone it rests on shines more in the odd half-light.

Beside it, a silent fight rages - a slight girl against a thing out of some nightmare, moving so fast, so fluidly, sometimes they are a blur moving around the stone, but there is never a sound from either.

The fight slows, and the tallshortdarkfair girl is wearing the thing around her neck, without it leaving the stone until there is a

blur

and the creature she fights has it but always their battle is balanced and neither one keeps it for long.

And from where he leans against the stone, Harth Fray calmly watches the silent struggle.

Lilly's not sure where she is or what's going on till she spots the creepy vampire kid brother.

Oh, goody. Out of all the dreams in all the worlds, she had to wander into his.

"What up, Harth?"

From:

dreamer_fray

Harth's eyes dart to her, and for a moment there is something dark behind innocent blue eyes and that young-looking face.

Then he grins.

"Hey there."

The silent combatants flash between them briefly, before blurring again, further away in an instant.

From:

Lilly pauses to watch the fighters, frowning. This has the look of something... not familiar, really, but the one girl alone against the monster strikes her as something she's heard of, or read about, or something.

"So. What's with this, then?"

From:

dreamer_fray

He gives her a deadpan look.

"Light entertainment?"

Casually he picks up the amulet on the stone, dangling it from one finger. Instantly the creature loses interest in fighting the girl - turning to Harth.

The young vampire's eyes flare golden, and it stops with a snarl.

Lilly is still now, watching intently.

This is important.

She doesn't quite know how or why, it just feel like it is somehow. Feels different than other dreams she's been in.

From:

dreamer_fray

The amulet Harth holds so casually fades from his grasp, and girl and (demon) creature resume their battledance.

The boy tilts his head at her. "So. Never seen y'in this dream before."

From:

awesome_lilly

"Possibly because we've never met before," Lilly replies, still watching the fight. "It's hard to dream about people you don't know, after all."

Not impossible, of course. Just harder.

From:

dreamer_fray

"Hmm..."

His eyes light up slightly as the girl fighting silently executes a perfect sweep/throw move against her demonic opponent. For a flickering second, her hair is a bright, daring mix of purple and blue.

"This dream, though..."

From:

awesome_lilly

Lilly's getting the feeling that this dream is not really one Harth wanted to share. The sudden change in the girl's haircolor makes her even more certain it's important, though. When she responds, her tone's deliberately casual.

"Hey, I don't pick the dreams, I just wander around and stumble into them."

She shrugs.

"Figures you'd have a fighting one."

From:

dreamer_fray

"Fightin's pretty," he says with a grin at her. "Stumble, huh? You're... kinda lucky it was this one."

He'd hate for her to have been hurt.

...

What?

From:

awesome_lilly

Aw, Harth is so considerate.

Lilly arches an eyebrow.

"Are there other dreams you have that I should try to avoid, then?"

From:

dreamer_fray

Harth tilts his head, expression suddenly far away.

For a moment, the girl fighting looks uncannily like Lilly. She does not seem to have the strength she had shown previously, and is knocked to the floor before in a flicker she is someone else who kicks up hard and resumes the fight.

"Hard to pick a particular one," he says.

From:

awesome_lilly

Lilly keeps her face calm with an effort as she watches the girl who is her-but-not gets knocked down.

"...yeah, I can see how that might be."

She glances at the amulet on the stone, then back to the one in the fight. They look identical. She moves closer to the stone to get a better look.

From:

dreamer_fray

Harth follows her with his eyes.

"Odd-lookin' thing, ain't it?" he remarks afater a moment.

From:

awesome_lilly

"Yeah, it is," Lilly says, studying it closely.

"It's your dream, do you know what it is?"

From:

dreamer_fray

He laughs.

"Now, that'd be telling."

The silent blurring battle continues to rage around them.

From:

awesome_lilly

Harth is considerate *and* helpful. Why, he's practically a Boy Scout.

"I suppose it would," Lilly says wryly. She's still watching the battle, waiting to see who the girl becomes next.

From:

dreamer_fray

Harth glances sidelong at her in some amusement, and the girl obligingly takes on Faith's appearance, more or less throwing herself at her opponent, gaining the upper hand in a matter of moments though sheer ferocity.

"Totally."

Flicker. A girl who can't possibly be more than thirteen. The advantage is lost in a few vicious swipes knocking her across the head and midsection.

From:

awesome_lilly

Lilly winces a bit at that, but internally. No need to add to Harth's general enjoyment of this, after all.

"Well. This has been shiny, Harth, but I think I might be moving on, now."

From:

dreamer_fray

"Pleasure havin' you, Lilly," he says easily.
Lathrak'an tei vors an... kin'elt a fora tei...
Harth smiles and turns back to studying the fight. A faint buzzing sound is getting louder around them. Listen hard enough, and it almost starts to sounds like a language...

From:

awesome_lilly

Lilly listens hard, for a moment longer before she slips away, trying to memorize the sound of the words buzzing in the air.

It's not impossible, if she just thinks of it as new slang.
