After the brief kiss, Holly looks at Rei. "Feel any better?"

Rei tries forcing a smile.
"A little bit..."

Holly just sighs and pulls Rei close to just hold her and stroke her hair. She wants Rei to feel better, but she doesn't know how to.

"Maybe lets just get off the subject of me for a while... (or maybe more kisses)."
Rei looks to the gash.
"Am I to presume that was you?"

Holly grins sheepishly and says she was venting. She hopes nobody gets too upset over the damage to the wall.

"There are other ways of venting other than destroying the room I might have to give up..."
Rei looks back, trying not to think on it too much.
"Further getting away from today, did you go find your sister after I left?"

"Yes, I did. It was only a short visit, but she's doing well. Nobody else has gone into the Swamp that she's noticed. All is quiet. She still doesn't trust the other humans in this city, even though I told her that most people don't seem to even care where I'm from and assume I'm as human as anyone else. I told her the same would probably be true to her, but she still prefers the solitude of the Swamp. I'll probably try to visit her at least every other week or something. Just to make sure she's doing alright."

"Ok that's good that she's alright."
Rei pauses for a moment.
"Oh... Should we ever both head over and speak to her? We did declare our love for eachother and everything..."

Holly hesitates. "Sister... does not like visitors. Unless they're me. Probably better for you not to visit her. I've told her about us being together and all, but she didn't really comment on it beyond 'remind her of what I said before'. So.... yeah."

Rei shrinks a little.
"Ooo-kay then."
It feels like they should at least talk. 'Hey I'm your sister's mate and I love her' should be enough to get her to stop being an angry swamp witch. At least to her, anyway. It feels like they 'should' meet at some point. I mean in Holly's dream they were both there in Celedon- Oh no. Rei sits up with a start and feels like she's going to be ill.
"No, no no no... I forgot the prophetic dream! I'm never going to escape having to fight..."
Rei tries her best to remain calm but is sorta failing. If she stops fighting herself, will whatever she switch too be enough? Will the dreams torment her even more to get her to go back to what's possibly ruining her life? Is she in a no win situation?

Holly grips Rei tightly. "Rei! Calm down! Panicking isn't going to help anything. Do I need to get Haunter out here to help you calm down?"

"I can't help it... I have so many thoughts swimming in my head..."
Rei tries to calm her breathing. It takes a bit but it slows.
"How... How was Haunter going to help?"

Holly scoffs, as if that's the most obvious question in the world. "Hypnosis, of course. Calms people down without putting them to sleep if controlled well enough."

"Oh... ok. I didn't know it could do that. I was honestly thinking you meant dream eater or something of that nature."
Rei's still shaking a little.
"Maybe... Maybe you should do it. My mind is chaos right now..."

"Dream Eater might help, but only if you dreamt it recently. At least from what Haunter tells me. Plus, I imagine that nightmares taste terrible."

"I'm pretty sure my nightmares might make it sick, so maybe not. But yes, maybe the Hypnosis. I don't know if I can keep fully calm right now."

Holly lets her Haunter out and has it use its Hypnosis on Rei. She instantly feels a sense of calm wash over her, as if all her problems are melting away. She perhaps feels a tad drowsy, but overall she's quite relaxed now.

Rei looks a bit spacey as Haunter does its work. When it's done, Rei still 'feels' everything that she thought of, but it feels like it's miles away in her mind. As it finishes, Rei still looks a bit out of it but not freaking out anymore. She almost looks a little suggestive and workable now. Maybe Holly should capitalize on it.
"My mind feels a little fuzzy, but I think I'm calm now."
Rei looks to her.
"What now, Holly?"

Haunter disappears to roam about or whatever it does during the day, and Holly just gives Rei a quick kiss before suggesting they get some rest. Holly herself is still tired from her early morning return, and all the things she's had to deal with since have not helped that.

"Ok then..."
Rei lays back down, able to sleep once again thanks to Haunter's power. ALL of the problems in her life manage to stay back miles away in her mind as her post-hypnosis self. She is able to hang onto one thing, and that's Holly is still her rock in all of this. As long as she has her she won't fully lose herself.
