001 ❊ He dreams of honor and strength.

[somethingtoprove]

[For a long moment, there's no sound, no movement. Nephrite just stands in the middle of a long tunnel to a dark cave, staring at his hands and his clothes as if to decide whether or not they're real. His uniform, his powers, the unusual eye and hair color-- they're all back. ...But this is a dream. Of course it is. In reality, he's nothing more than a stupid human now and he is not in the Dark Kingdom anymore. He bares his teeth, ground tight against each other in frustration. This should be a good dream, but all he is... is confused. Confused and angry and maybe even a little jealous.

He wants his role as a Shitennou back-- it's all he has. But he's not so sure he wants to obey Beryl or endure the mockery he's so sure to receive upon returning. With a loud growl, his hands ball into fists and he slams one of them into the nearest rocky surface, spraying dirt and debris.]

Even my own dreams mock me!

Are you calling me a dog!?

[That's his voice getting progressively louder and more angry. Don't be so calm and deadpan-y when he's yelling! Kunzite does that and he haaates it!]

[ SOB, sorry Nephrite, it's in her nature..! Although she's pretty much less asshole-ish than Kunzite beneath it. Not that it helps the situation either right now, but she still seems calm, yup.. ]

Well, you did really seem like a dog licking its wounds right there just now. But then again, who am I to judge.
