Broken memories of a fake past litters his dreams. Every single night he wakes up in a sweat. There's something that doesn't make any sense to him, and it's basically the entire occurrence of this fake path. These dreams have been haunting his dreams to the point that he can barely sleep now.
Unfortunately this isn't good for the Quetzalcoatl. A few days ago he had fallen off of a tree while napping in it. ( One of his favorite hobbies ) The impact to the hard ground caused him to break his right arm. Thankfully that isn't his main arm, but he can't even fly.
So Mr. Grumpy pants is sulking under a tree, staring at his broken arm. While trying not to go near any snow in the vicinity. Bright blue eyes flare down at the cast while he tries to figure out how he can possibly stop those dreams from plaguing his mind.

Sometimes a walk was what you needed to clear your mind, and that was exactly what Xiu chose to do that day. Donning a warm coat and a scarf wrapped snugly around her neck, the young baku had ventured out of her building and started down her usual path away from the Demon dorms. As per usual, all was silent and peaceful, and there didn't seem to be a single other soul around.
Or so she thought, until she caught something from the corner of her eye. A quick glance determined that it was another student--she had almost missed him because he was so quiet--and she cast him a curious glance as she slowed her pace. Soon enough, she came to a completely stop, brows creased in concern as she regarded the boil. Oh, that was...? A familiar face--from that time the upperclassmen had shown the new students around, right?--but not one that she had had the pleasure of conversing with beyond their initial meeting. His name was...
Although she would have ordinarily just walked past any other students and left them to their peace, something about this particular boil worried her. Perhaps it was the expression on his face, or maybe it was the fact he was donning--and staring down at--his cast. In either case, after a moment of hesitation, Xiu veered off the path and moved forward to approach the other student instead.
"Hi there," She chirped with a friendly smile, giving a little swish of her tail, "Zephyros, right?" ...Maybe? Hopefully? Xiu gave a little shake of her head, her expression softening slightly as she tilted her head up at the figure. "Are you...alright?" Eranas <333 Also, they met before, right >__> /memory of a goldfish (just making sure asdfsghj)

He let out a long sigh before closing his eyes. Today was probably gong to be a really bad day. Maybe it would be better to just sit under this tree and not move. At all. It wouldn't be fun, but at least he wouldn't get himself in trouble. In fact, the boil was so worried about what would happen this day that he didn't even bring out his little tart eater with him. The poor thing is waiting in his dorm for his master to return. But he will come back later, maybe.
The blue-eyed boy's ears twitch quickly and his head turns as a ghoul walks towards him. Something about her was familiar, but he couldn't quite put a claw on it until she spoke his name. Then he finally remembered the first time he arrived in Amityville and the little tour that took place. "I am he.. but I.. forget your name. Sorry." He struggles to stand up but he can't without using that wounded arm. "I.. am not. Not really. " He sighs loudly and looks up at her. "Do not worry.Kaiyumi I think so, I.. I can't remember either OTL!

She let out a little laugh when he confessed that he couldn't remember her name, giving a little shrug of her shoulders. "Don't worry about it! It was a brief meeting, after all. My name is Xiu."
Upon noticing him try to get up, her gaze immediately flickered to his injured arm. Holding a hand up to indicate for him to stop, the small ghoul dropped down to crouch in front of him instead, a smile spreading across her lips. "There, now you don't have to strain your neck staring up at me," She chirped brightly, though her expression became faintly concerned at his...not-so-convincing reply to her inquiry.
"Not worrying is easier said than done with me," Xiu admitted with a wry smile, before lowering herself onto the ground and tucking her legs beneath herself, "What's wrong? Maybe I can help."Eranas LOL asdfkasjkdf I think so!

He's slighlty surprised when she kneels down next to him. Someone actually showing interest in his problems is something new from him. Back in his old home they would just look away if a Quetzalcoatl broke his wings. Any wounded were supposed to handle their own pain... or just die. And he was not ready to become a ghost.
"Xiu.. I will remember now. Thank you." He says this as thanks for her concern, for sitting down, and for forgiving him for forgetting her name. But he was hesitant
in explaining his worries with the reoccurring dream. Maybe it was just him going .... insane, after all he didn't know other people went through the same thing he has. "You might think me crazy.." But he lets out a long sigh and looks down at the grass. One hand plays with the dingy blades of grass before looking back at Xiu and staring hard.
"... Have you ever felt that you were once someone else? "Kaiyumi O-okay we'll just go with it 8D

Xiu simply replied to his thanks with a little grin and a nod, her ears perking up slightly when he told her that she would possibly think him crazy. Surely not? After all, she had seen her fair share of strange and almost unbelievable things at her time here at Amity--there wasn't much that could surprise the small ghoul anymore.
The question, however, did catch her off guard. Not because it was entirely unusual, but because it kind of reflected the thoughts she herself had had when she heard about the whole kingdom incident from her friends. For amoment, she was silent, and then she slowly nodded her head.
"Sometimes. Is this feeling plaguing you...?"

He had begun to stare at her, not expectantly. But curiously, because that was a very strange question to ask. Especially of someone he had meant once before, perhaps. His head moves to turn, slightly disappointed by the hesitation. He was positive that there was no way anyone else had that feeling.
His eyes had widen in shock when she had responded, though. His head quickly whipped back up to stare at her. Excitedly, his hand squeezed and grabbed at the flimsy cloth he wears.
"Yes.. yes as of late. Many dreams have come into my mind of other self. I cannot remember me. But I know, I know it had not been unreal!"

Hmm, was this boil having some kind of problem? It certainly seemed like it, but Xiu was having a little trouble pinpointing what his exact concern was. His question to her had been a little vague, although something in her mind had stirred at the inquiry.
And then suddenly he was saying things about dreams and another self, and the baku couldn't help but think that it couldn't be a coincidence. After all, the Kingdom incident had not been too long ago, and the only way she had learned about her other self had been through an unusual dream. Therefore, Xiu wouldn't be surprised if Zephyros had been one of the others to have a Kingdom counterpart.
But of course...this all sounded a little crazy to say aloud. Maybe she could give him a hand, though? "If it's dreams that are bothering you, I think I can help you." She offering, lips curving into a smile as she tilted her head and pointed to herself, "I'm a baku, you know. Dealing with dreams is my specialty."Eranas AW, no worries! <33 I still have a final left to study for, so...u__u

He had looked back down at the grass and stared at it while the young baku though. The free hand continued to preoccupy it's self with tweaking his cloth. And then it moved to his mouth so he begun to nibble on it continuously.
His little feathered ears twitched at her statement. He's vaguely heard about baku's before in his homeland but he had never heard too much information about them.
"You can help? How exactly? Bakus do what, I know not much. But if it help my mind, help is needed. Please. " Due to his aggravation and hand chewing, he seems to have reverted back into a more primal way of thinking in the common tongue of halloween. His thick accent which accentuates constants is heavier than normal.Kaiyumi I hope you will do well, did well on your final ;u;!

His sudden change in speech caught the ghoul offguard, but she was quick to regain her composure, smiling faintly as she tucked her legs beneath herself in a more comfortable sitting position.
"Bakus...we're traditionally dream eaters, but truth to be told, I've been developing a knack of twisting and reshaping dreams lately as well." Smile growing sheepish, she gave a little shrug of her shoulders, "I can enter dreams, and--...well, if you were a human, Id devour your good dreams and fill bad ones in its place...but here, I've been helping people with nightmares."
It wasn't always as easy as her jumping into a dream and eating it though. Those with chronic nightmares would still get them the day after. Still, maybe even a temporary solution would help this boil until he could figure out how to fix it for good.Eranas Awww, thank you! ;u; <33 Just finished my last one today, so adfsgdhjfk

The bitter taste of blood in his mouth causes him to shrink back in disgust. He puts the bleeding hand down and tries to pay more attention to the ghoul. She was going to help him, and he will be able to finally get some sleep. Hopefully. With the talk of eating good dreams and filling it with bad ones, even if he's not a human, that still disturbed him.
His eyes widened slowly as she spoke though, and he began to think about how to get rid of them. "You can.. go in my.. Enter.. my dream? Yes? You will be able to?" Now that he had calmed down, his speech was a little more coherent than before. However his hands does start twitching towards his mouth.. as if he wanted to bite them off.
"I.." He took in a deep breath and calmed himself down a little more. "The dreams hurt my chest very much because of a... a man that I see. He was very precious to me.." Kaiyumi yfderfg I made you wait so long orz

Noting how anxious he seemed to be, Xiu nodded slowly at his question, keeping her expression soft and reassuring as she offered him a faint smile. "Well, if you need my help, yes! I'd be more than happy to do something about those nightmares. I can't get rid of them myself though--it'll take some willpower from you for the next few days until they go away completely, but if that's okay..."
Her attention flickered to his hands when she noticed them twitch upwards towards his mouth, her pleasant expression immediately falling into one of concern as she noted the blood. The baku instinctively reached out, only to pause when she realized that, er, randomly touching someone was never a good idea. After a moment of thought, she dug around in her obi until she produced a handkerchief, wordlessly holding it out to him.
Listening to his explanation, the ghoul offered him a sympathetic look and a light bow of her head. She had not missed the past tense. "I see. I...am sorry. If you're comfortable with it though, I'm definitely willing to do whatever I can to help."
