He explained the sensations that he felt after his dream and Iolaire nodded in acceptance. It was turning into a memory rather than a reality. That was the goal: to accept that the events happened, and to get past them. They were not this reality. "I'm very glad. This is our goal."

She could fake it like a saint though, and most often she did. "Will you try for more sleep?" She asked the saber toothed canine beside her. "You were doing very well before. Might be good to give it another shot." She would continue to sleep outside beneath the stars as she had before. Io gave a light shrug and extended an offer. "Or you could sleep out here with me. It's a very comfortable night."
