She was back in that dreamscape again. It was always the same - she would be walking in the desert with the overhead sun blazing hot against her skin with no idea as to where she was, why she was there or what she needed to do until she woke up from her slumber. It was turning out to be different this time round however. As Hafwen made her way through the desert, the landscape started to change around her, the golden sand beneath her feet now gradually giving way to rock formations of various sizes interspersed by shallow crater pools of bubbling lime green water.
Weird.
She pressed on through the landscape without so much as deviating from her path or pausing to explore her newfound surroundings, her body now moving entirely on its own and with a purpose unknown to herself until she eventually arrived at what appeared to be the entrance of an underground cavern. And it was exactly at that point when she woke up to a dimly lit room that her mind managed to barely register as not her own.
Looking down at her hands, she blinked at the cast on her left arm and the IV at the back of her right. Hospital. But how? She frowned to herself when her mind failed to supply her with the answer on demand. Too hot. It was way too hot in here. She could still feel the scorching rays of the sun from the dreamscape on her skin. She needed out. Maybe some cool air would help clear her head some.
Kicking off the sheets and reaching over to tug the IV off, she pushed herself off the bed to slowly make her way over to the window that was already wide open. There. Much better now. Resting her hands on the windowsill, she leaned her weight against the wall, letting her eyes drift shut as she pressed her forehead against the coolness of the window frame, content to remain there for now.

Had he realized she was going to awaken, Darren wouldn't have left her side to go and get some water to parch his throat. He'd been talking to her for so long, his throat had gone dry - not that he was sure she could hear him anyway, but he'd been hopeful. So imagine his shock and surprise when he turned the corner into her hospital room and nearly jumped out of his skin, not only was she awake, but she was out of bed. He turned to look at the bed, noticing she'd pulled the IV free from her arm and winced. Not only was that going to leave a bruise, but he was pretty sure the nurses would be there soon to check up on her since she was no longer getting the IV flow. He entered the room slowly, trying to keep his footfalls light so as to not make too much noise before he cleared his throat softly and spoke. "Hafwen, how are you feeling?" He tried to keep the excitement of her wakefulness out of his voice, tried to keep it level. They had - after all - had just gone through a very bad breakup... Except they'd agreed they'd make a good match... Of course that had been Corinth and Dallol - but they were both the same person - putting semantics aside...

Hafwen's eyes shot open the moment she heard someone calling out to her. "... Darren." She turned to give him a small smile, her mind registering his presence as someone important to her while the events of their recent breakup were conveniently tucked away in one of the deeper recesses of her mind for the moment. She shrugged at his posed question, not at all comprehending why he was so concerned or why she was in the hospital in the first place. Couldn't he see for himself that it was so unbearably hot in here that she needed out?
Placing her hand on the window, she gave it a push so that it was now opened to the max. "Hot in here... need to get out." She finally decided to inform him on a whim, climbing onto the window ledge and taking a deep breath before powering up into Dallol. There. Much better.
Turning to look at him, she lifted a hand to tuck some of her curls behind her ear and smiled. "Be back soon. Bye bye..." With that, she waved to him then jumped off the ledge and into the night.

The first thing Darren did, when Hafwen powered up and jumped out the window, was sneak a furitive glance to the door before moving over and closing it quietly. It was as good an idea as he could figure out, and it wasn't like he'd done it before when he was reading or talking to her while she'd been in her coma. It was only then, that he powered up and followed after her out the window - hoping to all the gods that nobody saw them. He tracked her aura since she'd gotten out of sight, and made a quick a b-line for her as possible.

Someone was coming after her. A friend and a Page like herself to boot. Dallol pressed on without stopping or slowing, knowing that the other would eventually catch up with her as she made her way through the city via the rooftops, heeding the call of a force unknown to even she herself.
It was only when she reached the park that she finally stopped to catch her breath by leaning forward to press her hands on her kneecaps. Here. Getting out of the hospital and feeling the evening air against her skin seemed to do the trick in easing the heat that was driving her crazy albeit the amount of effort it seemed to have taken out of her in her current state.
But more than anything, something else was telling her that she needed to be here. The question was what...

Corinth landed a few feet behind her, moving quickly, he tried to not raise his voice but it was damnably hard. "Are you insane?!" He managed to croak out, panting at bit at the effort maintaining pace with her had taken. "You could have been seen!"He was drawn between concerned, elated and royally pissed. He was glad she was awake, ecstatic actually, but he was alarmed at her behavior. What had him pissed off was her complete disregard for secrecy. She'd jumped out the window for gods sake! She could have been seen, worse, one of the nurses could be checking the room at any point and then all sorts of hell would have broken loose. "God Dammit Hafwen I expected you to have more sense than this!"

"Are you insane?!"
Dallol turned to regard Corinth with a puzzled look on her face, the gravity of what she had just done not quite registering in her mind yet. "Seen?" Insane? Why no. She was feeling perfectly fine here and capable of rational thoughts even, especially now that she was out here and no longer in that horrid room she had woken up in awhile ago.
"It was too hot in that room. Needed to come here." She pouted at the fact that she had to repeat her complaint to him again despite having clearly verbalised it just moments ago, the realisation that she was currently addressing Corinth and not Darren only hitting her now - much longer than what one ought to expect to be normal for someone of her age and intelligence.
"... how'd you know who I am Corinth?"

It was taking a lot for him to maintain his composure. They were in the park, thankfully there weren't that many people around, or at least within earshot, so he was able to speak his mind freely. "Because it's me, Darren, Corinth, we're one and the same, just as you are Dallol and Hafwen. I found out the night you got attacked... I've been... waiting for you to wake up, watching over you to make sure they didn't come to try and finish the job."Because he'd felt guilty about not arriving sooner to save her from being hurt. "Now come on, let's get back to the hospital before you're spotted... or found missing..."He moved to her, trying to grab her by the wrist and lead her back.

"Oh..." Dallol smiled lazily at Corinth's explanation. Most of the words going over her head really save for certain key words that piqued her interest some. Attacked? She gave a frown when her brain immediately supplied her with an image of Leucite yet came up blank when she tried to recall on her own what happened during said event.
She shook her head a few times, side stepping to avoid being caught by Corinth as she latched onto yet another key word this time. "Nuh-uh... no hospital... you said you didn't like them..." Wagging her finger a few times, she smiled coyly then laughed before skipping off right ahead of the other Page.
Torvil For Darren muse whenever he gets back~ ^^

This was beginning to get beyond ridiculous and there wasn't much more Corinth could do about it aside from beat her over the head with his drum and take her back to the hospital unconscious again - but he didn't even want to think about causing her any further potential brain damage so instead he sighed and went in pursuit. "I really think this is a bad idea... and besides, I can handle it... I have the entire time you've been knocked out." He pleaded with the obviously not all there Dallol. "Come on, I want to make sure you don't have any hard questions to answer when we get back..."

Questions. Questions. Questions. It was always about the questions wasn't it?
Whirling around on her heel, Dallol tilted her head sideways as she looked at Corinth with a serious expression on her face. "I'm looking for something... can't sleep till I get it back..." She informed him, as if she was expecting that he would an inkling as to what she was referring to. And then she was off again without even waiting to see if the other Page was going to offer his assistance on the matter.
The thing she was searching for. It was somewhere in this park and close to where she was currently. She would know what it was as soon as she saw it. Flitting from one section of the park to another, it was close to ten minutes into the search that something shimmering on the ground eventually caught the Uranus Page's eye. As she neared the object, she observed that it was an oddly shaped container of sorts with a handle attached to it as well as the Uranus symbol that started to emit a soft glow when she was about an arm's length away from it.
This was it. This was exactly what she was searching for.
"Found it~ ♪"
Like a moth drawn to a candle's flame, Dallol reached out to pick up the object from the ground. As soon as her hand made contact with it, the Arabian coffee pot materialised in her hand, the previously soft glow that was coming from the Uranus symbol now growing brighter and larger until it engulfed Dallol entirely. When the light eventually faded a couple of seconds later, Dallol was a Page no more.
 "I am here to heed your call young Page. Seek me out at Dallol on Uranus."

Well if she wasn't going to listen to reason - and he wasn't willing to use force - he was pretty much stuck having to follow through on what she wanted. Keeping his eyes peeled and his senses tuned for any potential danger, he followed her and hoped to whatever gods might be listening that she wasn't found missing in the time it took to find whatever it was she was so intent on looking for. What he had not been expecting however, was for her to suddenly find the thing and power up into a Squire. That had been unexpected. He had quickly moved to her then, placing a hand on her shoulder gently - keenly noting to avoid looking at her assets more directly, and watching her for a moment. "How do you feel? Can we head back now? I hate to be pushy - but I'd rather not have to explain why you're not in bed..."They'd kick him out at best - toss him into the psych ward at worse.

Dallol simply stood where she was, taking in the transformation that her fuku had undergone as well as the henna that now decorated her forearms. Looking up at Corinth, she frowned, the confusion that she presently felt apparent in her gaze as well as the words that followed. "Corinth... what happened?" She felt different. Definitely stronger. Maybe a little lightheaded but at least she could move on to the next agenda now that she had already gotten what she came all the way out here for.
Lifting a hand to rest it on Corinth's forearm, she nodded at the Page's insistent request for them to head back even though it had conveniently slipped her mind as to where Corinth intended to take her back to. All she knew was that she could trust Corinth as well as the good vibes that were practically radiating off of him. "Okie. I'll follow your lea... ..." Giving him a small smile, she took a wobbly step then another before she came to a stop from the dizziness that followed, her hand tightening its grip on his while she lifted her other hand to rub at her temples.
"C-Can't move... head's spinning..."

Corinth shook his head and as she took his hand. His eyes widened a little as she started to stumble and he did the only thing he could think of doing. Moving quickly, he let go of her hand and moved an arm to her upper back, before ducking down and sweeping his other arm under her knees to bring her up to his chest in a princess carry. He tried to make it so that she could rest her head on his chest or shoulder and relax. "I'm not sure, but there was definitely some sort of change," He chuckles softly. "One I heartily approve of."She could call him a pervert if she wanted to he didn't mind. Turning back toward the hospital, he started to run back as fast as he could, keeping her cradled close to him. "Now stay with me Dallol... I'm gonna get you back to bed..."He just hoped the way was clear and he didn't have to worry about nurses...

The vertigo had gotten so bad to the point that it was both incapacitating and nauseating. The hand that was at Dallol's temple was cupped over her mouth now as she made a retching sound that thankfully came up dry though it wouldn't stay that way for long if she kept that up a couple more times.
She did not protest or resist when Corinth scooped her up into his arms in a princess carry, his initial words going entirely over her head as she closed her eyes and shifted against him till she found a spot that helped somewhat with the vertiginous episode.
"Okie... let's go to bed..."
Oblivious of the inappropriateness of her own words, she clung onto the lapels of Corinth's coat then slowly drifted off as she powered down spontaneously to her civilian self once more...
