Dreamer is cleaning bloodstains out of Shay's boat fort.
It's taking a lot longer than she thought.
Certainly long enough that she forgot why she started in the first place, but hey. Not like she has anything better to do.
Slosh. Clank. Scrubscrubscrub. Slosh.
This is oddly restful.

Honestly she's not sure whether or not to expect an answer in the positive. People here, she's discovered, are strange.

Oh, the lies.

"God, I can't fucking imagine," she says, wrinkling her nose.
She really can't. There are no caves in the settled parts of Downside, and they're mighty scarce in Ottawa, too.

"Yeah, I can't say getting used to them was really an issue."
She tilts her head.
"What the hell were you studying down there, anyways? Rocks?"
no subject
"That and there are supposed to be cave paintings in them. I was mostly helping out with mapping the area." Which isn't a total lie, if you look at it sideways and squint.
no subject
Dreamer grins.
"Well, okay, it doesn't. I'd go nuts if I had to study something that boring."
Many negative things can be said about the contractors' academy. Boring, however, isn't one of them.

She shrugs.
"Shay was in a band, though. Bet I could get him to do covers of all the good ones, if I could find him some support. Like, say, a drummer."

"If it'll keep him from teleporting anymore ocean vessels into the yard, and he keeps the noise out here, I might be for it."
no subject
"Oh, come on. The ocean vessels thing is cute. Whacked out, but cute."
Which is pretty much her opinion of Shay himself, really.
no subject
"It doesn't exactly belong."
no subject
Dreamer has an odd view of cuteness.

"Right." Clark squints up at her. "It's not exactly normal, you know?"

Dreamer grins. Brightly.

Okay, exaggeration, but still.
As for the second part... Dreamer looks worried for a moment, then shakes her head. "I doubt there's much around here that can really fuck with me, but-- thanks for your concern, I guess. I just prefer not to bullshit people."
no subject
Clark sighs. "Sometimes lying is the best way to survive. The truth doesn't always set you free. Trust me."
no subject
"Tell that to somebody for whom survival is a concern," she says gently.
