Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Leo confirmed the address and Rocky told him to just mana into the living room, before they ended the call.

About 45 seconds later, Leo appeared in the middle of the room, just off to the side of the table in said room.

He looked around and located Rocky on the couch there, before going and sitting down beside her.

"Is it that bad?" he asked.

"You fear for people's general safety?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

After ending the call, Rocky had made her way to the couch, taking a seat a mere fraction of a second before Leo had appeared. She thought she'd have a bit more time to get there, and debated maybe the stop for a drink in the kitchen on the way wasn't the best idea. However, she was there, and he was there, so it wasn't a huge issue.

"I'm worried it's going to get to that point." She admitted.

"She almost seems unhinged, and I don't know why. Vincent's acting weird and concerning too."

Forgive, O Lord,

"...that IS concerning." Leo responded.

He then thought for a moment, pondering what he could do.

"Well... I can make my way there and... er... well, 'encourage' them to nap." he told her.

"And then see if I can get any info from the dreams they have."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I would appreciate it." Rocky told him honestly.

"Before anything serious happpens."] She added with a heavy sigh.

"I don't know what to do if something did happen, f I'm being honest, and it scares me. I don't want to lose them."

Forgive, O Lord,

Leo nodded.

"I understand." he responded.

He then thought again, pondering his plan, and then sighed.

"Is it all right if I leave my... uh, well... body, here?" he asked.

"It'll be a shell that just sits here looking empty and such. That okay?" he asked further.

"Yeah, of course.drop it in the bedroom if you'd prefer, even." Rocky answered, motioning toward the bedroom in question.

"If you want to stay on the couch, that's cool too." she added after a moment or two.

Forgive, O Lord,

Leo scratched his chin a little, and nodded.

"Yeah, that might be better." he said. "Can at least seem like I'm asleep." he reasoned.

He then got up, excused himself, and made his way into the room, laying down on the bed and prepping... before he seemed to 'fall asleep', and looked to be completely motionless now.

Rocky took this opportunity to make herself a drink, and about 5 minutes later, as she was sitting back in the couch, she heard Leo from the bedroom.

"AH!" he yelled, as though he had awoken from a nightmare.

great big one on me.

Rocky made her way to the room when she heard Leo's exclamation.

"You ok?" She asked, concern to her voice as she poked her head into the room.

"I heard that exclamation."

Leo looked over towards her, and she saw shock and horror in his expression.

"...I..." he stammered.

"I am unharmed." he told her, choosing his words carefully.

"Am I ok? I don't... no. No, I don't think ANYONE is 'ok' right now." he said further.

He then realised he was probably speaking in riddles, and shook his head.

"Let me just get my head on straight, and I'll tell you what I saw."

...and I'll forgive thy

Rocky was silent for a moment with a sigh.

"I"ll be on the couch. Do you want some coffee or something?" She asked.

"Because I can get something for you if you want, or need. Whatever can help."

"...tea." Leo responded.

"Something that calms nerves." he told her.

"Seriously, I am... kinda shaking right now." he said further, as he slowly, methodically, got off the bed.

Rocky hadn't seen him so rattled before, and it was... disconcerting.

Whatever he'd seen, it had shaken him to his core.

Rocky nodded.

"Yeah, of course." She said simply.

"I have the perfect blend. I'll see you in a few." With that, sh eheaded out, figuring that Leo would make his way out in time. She wasn't going to stress about it, due to the fact that she knew that it was pointless for the moment. She'd have to wait until she got th einformation.

So she made her way to the kitchen and started to prepare the tea for Leo, which was just finishing steeping about the time he made his way to the den.

Leo made his way back to the den and sat down, as Rocky returned with the blend. He accepted it and held it in his hands for a moment, before taking a sip. And then another. And then another.

Overall, it took about 2-3 minutes before he started to visibly calm, the tea was THAT effective.

"...okay." he said.

He then looked at Rocky, and sighed.

"I... their dreams are... well... they're broken." he told her.

"They're not whole. It's like parts of a film reel that are cut out."

Rocky paused a moment.

"Well, that doesn't sound good." She commented.

"Do you have any idea what the cause is? I'm going to guess you do, since you had a pretty notable reaction." She continued.

"And your comment of no one being ok is worrying."

Leo just nodded.

"I do." he responded.

"...their souls." he then said. "They're not all there." he revealed.

"Pieces are missing." he told her further.

"Their souls are incomplete, Rocky." he stressed. "And that is not good."

Rocky was silent for a oment.

"... I don't think the Fyrane rune can do that." She comemnted.

"But that then leaves a question. Wht the bloody fuck CAN." She added.

"And I know you probably don't know, but ... I just..." She paused, shaking her head.

"Are you willing to go let Hollie know?" She asked.

"I should let her kids know to avoid the woman.'

Leo sighed. Heavily.

"No. I don't know what could do such a thing." he admitted.

"I'll try and find out." he told her.

He then paused again, and thought about it, seemingly doing some calculations in his mind.

"...Hollie SHOULD be asleep by now. It's late enough there." he reasoned.

"I can do that right now, if you don't mind my body remaining here for a little longer."

...and I'll forgive thy

"Yeah, do as you need to." Rocky commented.

"I don't have a problemw ith you being here, either." She added. "Ifanything, the company, even if just your body for a bit, will be nice. You won't be trying to attack me, or uncaring." She added with a sigh.

"I still can't believe that she attacked. I'm probably going to have a shiner from it." she muttered under her breath.

Leo set his tea down and looked at her.

"I'm sorry you went through what you went through." he said.

"But I promise I'll go and tell Hollie." he told her.

"This shouldn't take AS long, so I'll do it right here." he then reasoned.

"Maybe about... a minute or two?" he guessed.

"Don't worry about me" Rocky told him.

"You do as you need to." She then said with a light sigh.

"I'm worried about them, and Hollie does need to know." That much was true. She knew that, and knew that there was going to be a large difference if Hollie found out, or when she did. She just hoped that Hollie could get there quickly enough to actually fix this situation.

However, failing that, she'd go through her daughter, to Emelie, to get HER help.
