001 ❊ He dreams of honor and strength.

[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!

Not so fast! [Boom, Nephrite bolts in front of her, barring her path with his large frame.] How idiotic do you think I am? You're not going anywhere! [You're welcome to try getting past him, though. In fact, he really wants you to try. Not that he needs an excuse to try to punch Usagi, really, but... it's more satisfying this way.]

( she looks up at him out of one eye, squinting the other in discomfort from her fall still... ) Wait you look... familiar... ( you van pratcially see the gears a'turnin'... )
