[ishere]

[ and he will just sloooowly start to draw his hand back. ]

You know what? I think this is great just the way it is.

[ino]

[ She laughs, putting the pen down and turning her own hand to actually hold on to his ]

Come on, I'm just messing with you.

[ishere]

[ his eyebrows go up and he resists the handhold tokenly, playing as if he's unconvinced. ]

I don't know... maybe I should start wearing long sleeves to bed.

[ino]

[ So mean! She huffs. ]

If you want to sweat to death at night.

[ But oh -- that reminds her of what she was going to ask ]

--That's right, I remember now.

[ she reaches down into her shirt to produce a necklace around her neck -- it's just a pretty small, unassuming seashell on a string. ]

I was going to ask you if you'd be willing to try this out for me. I can't tell if it's enchanted anymore.

[ishere]

[ he makes a curious little sound, reaching out to take the necklace from her. ]

How was it enchanted?

[ino]

[ she'll let it drop into his hand, blinking in confusion at him. ]

Um ... By a witch?

[ she pauses ]

Or do you mean what it's supposed to actually do?

[ishere]

The second one.

[ his shoulders shake a little with laughter as he shoots her an amused look. ]

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be "trying."

[ino]

[ she makes a little face when he laughs, but ...]

Oh, well. It's supposed to keep you from having any bad dreams. But I haven't dreamt at all lately, so I can't tell if it's working or if it's just a coincidence.

[ishere]

Oh. You think I've been having bad dreams?

[ well, hiro's been asleep for a really long time now, so - yeah, it's likely he is. ]

[ino]

[ Yeah, she's giving him a look, one eyebrow raised. ]

I don't think you've been having bad dreams, I can actually hear you having them.

[ishere]

[ he's going to flush a little guiltily here. whoops - caught. ]

Sorry. I didn't realize it was that bad.

[ino]

You don't have to apologize. I mean, it makes sense.

[ She reaches over to cover his hand with hers, if he'll let her ]

I just thought it might be more helpful for you, if it still works. I know it used to, but Atroma might have figured out how to remove the enchantment somehow.

[ishere]

[ of course he lets her. he'll just turn his hand so that he can catch her fingers with his, too. ]

Alright, then. I'll try it out tonight and let you know. Sound good?

[ino]

Sounds perfect.

[ She squeezes his fingers, gently. ]

I'm gonna be kinda mad if they did break it, though. It sounded like Schierke worked hard on it ...
