[This is neither the red planet nor the vast imperial city that she’s previously been seen in. It’s a simple clearing that leads to a cliff. It allows a nice view of the ocean, which strangely enough has absolutely no movement. No tide, no crashing waves against the rocks. Nothing. And for the curious wanderer they can go through the thicket of trees a bit further back but no matter what direction they go it’ll always lead to the same cliff. On the edge of it, overlooking the vast and unmoving waters is Seth, who seems just as unmoving as the rest of the dream. Her eyes are shut and an attentive eye will note two things. She doesn’t appear to be breathing at all(not that it was needed in dreams any ways) and there’s a scar that encircles her neck. And despite the presence of another person in the dream she still doesn’t move. Nothing moves. Everything is perfectly still and silent.

And when a few more minutes pass she finally sighs softly. With her peace interrupted there is no more point in pretending she doesn't know that there’s someone in the area.]

You know, this really isn’t a place fit for others. [And while that statement would normally be a bit teasing or harsh sounding that’s not so. It’s spoken softly and followed by a quiet laugh. After the laugh she finally turns her attention away from the ocean scenery.]

It might be a good idea to focus on your home. You probably don't want to stay here.

((ooc; No excuse for the post spamming(mild of course) other then the fact this probably won't ever get to happen. That being said, this is post-canon!Seth by a few years. Which means still witty remarks just less racism and bitch moods and other spoilery things that you can probably figure out.))

[She could argue that it was just a passing kindness. A gesture that only appears kind because she knows the other girl won't stay in this place for long. She'll fade away eventually and Seth could entertain her until then.]

If you say so.

[This dream will end.

And then there'll be the next one. But like Seth, even now, Mercury isn't someone who trusts to that easily.]

Why did you offer?

Why not? I have nothing to lose.

[Nothing to gain either but if there was no harm in it, why not indulge a person? It wasn't like she was going to suffer at the hands of any unfortunate fate.]

In any case, thank you. Shall we go on?

Of course. Make sure to stick close.

I will. [True to her word, she stays just a pace or two distant from Seth, keeping up quite easily.]

[It's a pleasant surprise. She's started to twirl a bit of her hair between her fingers as they continue walking.]

Your home. Where is it?

[To her mind, where she's from is quite literally written on her face, the sigil on her forehead. Thus, she does not even consider hiding it.]

The Moon Castle.

[She furrows her brows but doesn't turn her full attention to her. It seems completely silly to her but people can dream.]

I didn't realize anyone had colonized the moon.

[People can dream indeed; and when Seth awakes, she'll know the mixture of truth and dream that this is.]

Colonized? No. If anything, it was the reverse. Civilization spread from the Moon.

No. We couldn't colonize on the Moon. Trust me, we tried.

[Or rather they had tried before her creation. Not that she cared where life came from or what started first. It all ended the same as far as she was concerned.]

It was very difficult. [She does not speak of where the immortal race living on the Moon came from beforehand.] Even now, we live only within the dome of the Moon Castle.

We scooted the Moon a few times before. I can tell you there wasn't anything that looked like a castle.

Something is not right. [She doesn't doubt Seth, per se; and she knows what she's saying herself is true.]

No. I'm sure you're right within the confines of your world. I'm right in the confines of mine. [Something she's encountered before and much more readily accepts.]

Perhaps so. It may only be different.

Tell me, please, what about planet Mercury?
