She was aware of what a nightmare was, rather she was debating whether asking Andromeda more about them would be a good idea or not. For the time being she opted to keep her questions to herself and continue what she was doing. Whilst remaining unaware that her attempt at calming Andro had, had the opposite effect. Rain appreciated the fact Andro didn't pull her hand away, it fit nicely in hers. Though it highlighted the difference between them, the gorgon's hand was soft against the roughness of her own, against her claws she was sure Andro's marble skin would tear like paper so she gingerly kept them angled away. A tingle dashed up her wrist as Andro moved a finger. [color=lightseagreen][i]'...you thought you weren't going to make it. It's natural to confess'[/i][/color] She thought as she spoke again, her words different from the ones in her mind. Another skill Athalia had taught her, language was an art, one that was often appreciated more if it was elaborate. Amusement danced across Rain's eyes as Andro chuckled, it was nice to hear even if it was lacking it's usual warmth. [color=skyblue][i]'You may regret that...'[/i][/color] Rain thought [color=skyblue]"As you should...I never go back against my word"[/color] She assured her, before moving on to the next matter. Frostbite wasn't something she was overly familiar with, so drawing it out had been a bit of a gamble. Her ability to transfer pain could only heal minor injuries and alleviate the discomfort from more serious things for a short period time. [color=skyblue]"Good"[/color] She exhaled, with a satisfied look on her face as she dipped her head in a swift nod and rubbed her hands together. [color=skyblue]"It'll be one less thing for your body to worry about"[/color] As expected Rain flinched forward as Andro rolled back onto her side with a groan, she leant over her allowing her hand to hover over the gorgon's side. [color=skyblue]"Hmm...you should have said sooner"[/color] Rain chastised, sighing in relief despite herself. She'd have let Andro's hand go sooner if she'd known she was that uncomfortable. [color=skyblue]"Sirius preserve us...this storm doesn't look like it's ever going to let up"[/color] She grumbled, lifting her hand up to her head, she pushed her hair back from her face and clicked her tongue. Rain's virtue was patience but she was struggling with it after everything that had happened that day. Donning ski's, sitting in a mechanical monster, getting stuck in said monster, Andro in danger, getting slapped in the face by a snow storm...Andro confessing...it was a lot to take in. Even more so with the current cycle of the moon. Wriggling her foot back and forth, Rain leant back on her hands and focused on the white cloud covering the entrance to the cave. [color=skyblue]"Tell me about your nightmares"[/color] She requested out of the blue [color=skyblue]"I'd like to...[/color]" She paused as if she was deciding what word to use next, in her mind the sentence finished with a [color=lightseagreen][i]'understand you better...'[/i][/color] but she ultimately decided that [color=skyblue]"...help, or at least try"[/color] was a better fit. She cleared her throat, still unhappy with her delivery she quickly added. [color=skyblue]"My...mother told me that our dreams are one of two things, a message or a lesson. Sometimes they're recycled memories of key points in our lives and other times they're an unfamiliar structure full of hidden meanings"[/color] The pause was unintentional, Rain hadn't spoken about her mother before, in fact she often went out of her way to simply brush such a subject aside...in this situation she was more worried mentioning that word might make Andro uncomfortable. [color=skyblue]"You don't have to...it was just a thought"[/color]
