A small sack of gems. A bundle of wooden poles. Misplaced coils of rope. More vulneraries, elixirs, and toxins. A few icons of varying goddesses and saints. A little box of rings. Another set of quills and inks. Cobwebs — wait, don't write that down. Hand towels. Spools of thread and needles. Spare leather bags or pouches.
A voice — soon, a knock at the door.
The younger Soren snapped out of his trance, setting down the small stack of parchment. He corked the bottle of ink and set his quill beside it. He had been so affixed that he now realized how much his eyes hurt, and as the mage wandered out of the storage room he also understood how dark that room had been.
Straining his eyes, Soren made his way through the corridors until he was passing the room Valter was sleeping in. A single glance determined that Valter was having some sort of nightmare. Soren frowned to himself while he put his hand on the doorknob and pulled it open, revealing a familiar man weathered by age.
"The marquess of Pherae?" His tone was unchanged.

Valter was awakened by a gust of frigid air. After opening his eyes, he discovered that the source was the door, which Soren had just opened.
"Mmm... Good morning, Soren... Oh, and you too, Marquess Pherae..." Valter said, only half awake. "How long was I asleep?"

"Quite a while," Fiora said, "you didn't hear me when I was storming past. You were dreaming about something strange because you were wimpering in your sleep. Snow tried to wake you. Hello Marquess Pherae, Hello Soren."

"Oh, good morning, Fiora. I didn't see you there."
And then Valter remembered his dream. "That was a pretty wierd dream..."

"It's alright, I heard people moving around and came to see who was awake. Hopefully it wasn't too weird though, what exactly was it about?" Oh boy Fiora thought, maybe I should have just stayed quiet..

"I had a dream about men dressed in green with lizard feet, a big, creepy hand, and star-like things for a head, who were all tangled in Christmas lights. They were chasing me through a dark street so they could caress me and take care of me. It was the most disgusting, horrifying, sickening nightmare of my life."

The mage nodded in response to the pegasus knight.
"Hello, Miss...ah..."
He stared a few moments, trying to distinguish her from the other two pegasus sisters. When it came down to individuals from the other worlds, the mage did not have the most phenomenal of memory, especially with three sisters. Then again, it was a similar deal to the three brothers: Boyd, Oscar, and Rolf.

To Valter "Oh my, that's quite strange but scary too! My sister Florina would have been screaming when she woke up."
To Soren "I'm Fiora, I don't believe we were introduced properly before. Hope your doing well though. Ah! And this is my Pegasus, Snow."

"Miss Fiora and Snow. Well met."
The mage turned and fixed his eyes on Valter. "That dream of yours does sound sickening. The only dreams I've been having are filled with songs."

"I see," said the blind man knight.
"What kind of songs?" He asked Soren.

Alihi wandered around the house, completely restless. She couldn't bring herself to calm down, though, even for a moment.
"... Heh. I never got this way when I was a tactician. What's so different this time?" The tactician forced herself to sit down on the floor, in the room that Fiora, Valter, and the younger Soren were in. She gave them a small nod of greeting, then began to fiddle with her cloak.

Soren turned his head and returned a nod of greeting to Alihi. Then he resumed his topic, beginning with a slight gesture.
"Really, I've heard it only once. But when I woke up I felt better than ever. I believe it was a galdr, and I still remember a few words."
"I didn't exactly recognize the voice, however."
