[Lancer never, ever, ever dismissed dreams as nothing. Few understood as well as Cú Chulainn just how real dreams and nightmares could be. They could hurt, and not just emotionally. Once had seemed a warning, and now twice was striking him as a blaring sign of Bad Things To Come.]

[Scowling, he'd left his room at the breeding center and made his way to the roof--never mind how he got up there. (Trees were involved.) It was easier to think when he was off the ground, for whatever reason. Some holdover from his scouting duty as a Servant, maybe. Who cared? The point was that his head was a jumbled mess of things and he couldn't determine the cause or reasoning. When was the last time he'd even had a nightmare to begin with?]

[Even at this ungodly hour, he knew full well somebody was likely to still be awake. Johto and its inhabitants were weird like that. Sitting on the edge of the roof with no thought to the height, Lancer took his Pokegear from his pocket and typed a quick message.]

I'm starting to think some weird shit might be going on around here. Anyone else get that feeling?

What do you dream about, Lancer? [ Looking up towards him a bit too hopeful. ]

I don't, usually. But lately I've been having these weird nightmares that're kind of hard to describe.

You have no dreams of spending time with close ones? [ Which means Saber is the weird one oh no. ]

I do enough of that when I'm awake.

You do? [ Perking up. ]

Well...yeah. What of it?

What is there to dream about for you while you are here? A place away from your son, all that you have known and not only that, it has outlawed combat between human civilians... I just always suspected this place had left you bored out of your mind.

[wow saber did you have to play the dead kid card]

...Fine, I guess it ain't exactly paradise. I've gotten used to it by now, but even so it isn't like I don't have my share of things I miss a little.

[ Can't they just lament over being shitty dads together??? ]

If you insist.

... So these dreams?

I don't know. I can't really recall most of the specific details--I'm pretty sure Liath Macha and Olldóiteán were involved, which is a little worrying.

Your Pokemon? [ Frowning. ]

Is that not normal?

Maybe it is, I don't know. It just seems like if I was gonna dream about somebody, it'd probably be someone that wasn't around all the time.

Like Shirou? [ Not Rin. ]

Why would I be dreaming about that kid in the first place?

Because he left us?

...And? I wasn't all that close to him.

Well, I dream of Shirou enough for the both of us.

[ She misses her Masters so much. ] So you dream of your Pokemon?

I do now, apparently.

... Does that not seem strange? Perhaps you should ask them if they dream of you too.

...I guess I should, maybe. I didn't think of that.
