Kijani let out a short laugh. "Define okay." She ran her hand across her face, looking outright exhausted. It seemed sleep hadn't helped at all. "...I had a nightmare. I get them, sometimes, but they're usually about Alpha. This one was..." She flinched, and shook her head. "Awful." She sat on the edge of her bed, rubbing at her eyes. "I'm like a stupid child... I know nightmares are not real, they're just a product of the imagination. But the... the fear I felt in it was... very much real."[/quote]

Connor sat down gently beside Kijani, listening as she spoke. "It's not stupid to have nightmares." He said softly "nightmares are very much real. Yes, the come from your imagination, from your fear...but maybe in some way they are real. Especially in a school like this. There has to be some side effects of living here, with so many people with powers." He sighed "there's nothing wrong with feeling fear. But you have to talk about it, or it will just get worse and worse. There is nothing wrong with having nightmares. one out of every two adults has nightmares on occasion." 

He fel as if he couldn't comfort her, so he slowly fell silent, wishing he could just make everything better
