Here's a complication. An Ace-shaped complication. She's grinning. And she's got tea. Yup, things have definitely become more complicated.

*Tim nods to Ace.*

Hey there Ace. How goes?

Ace pulls a chair out and flips it around so she can rest her chin on the back.
"It's good. Getting ready for my trip." By some miracle, her tea has managed to find its way, unspilled, to the table, instead of landing on a messy heap on the floor.

Trip?

*thats new.*

Ace nods cheerfully.
"Yeah, can't be sitting 'round here all the time, can I?"

*He shakes his head.*

Where ya going?

"'M not sure, really." Somehow, this doesn't seem to bother her much. "I've hit a dead end where my little explosive venture is concerned, and I figured a bit of reccy might be in order. Don't really know how many of them there are, ya know."

(ooc: off to dinner... be back... much, much later. *grin* So, a possible G'night!)

Hmm?

*Tim is confused*

(ooc: I'm not really here. You're imagining things.)
Ace gives him the classic tweenager 'what are you thinking' look.
"The demonic bunnies? You know, the red ones?" she prompts.

*Tim cocks his head, trying to work through things.*

So... where are you going?

"Out. Away. Somewhere not here." She defines, then shrugs carelessly. "Gonna go out that door," she points out the lakeside door, "and keep walkin' until I figure I've seen enough demonic bunny warrens, then start walkin' back."

"Hey Tim." Isabel smiles, sitting down across from him.

*Tim nods.*

Heyas Isabel

"So I talked to Morpheus. He fixed my power issue...but only temporarily. Apparently I'm doing something that's making my powers act up and...I'll be damned if I know what it is. He said it's a temporary fix and if I don't figure it out then it'll wear off..."

She sighs, shaking her head as she rests it in her hands. "I'm scared."

She has yet to figure out why she can talk to Tim about this. As far as Warren knew everything was better. The end. Because she couldn't tell him it wasn't. But with Tim she could.

*Because Tim cares. Or at least appears to. He reaches out and strokes her hand.*

No clues as to what you should do? maybe you need more time in your world.

"NO!" Isabel's head flys up, her hand turning and squeezing his. "Please, you can't say that okay? Please. I can't go back home..."

ok.

*he squeezes back.*

All right.. Hmm...can you possibly dream walk yourself?

"I don't know...I've never tried...I...I don't know. I never thought about it. I could try I guess...but it's possible....that maybe I could bring someone else...into my dream." She looks at him carefully.

*Tim frowns.*

Are you sure?

"If anyone can do it it's you. I'm not afraid to let you in, you're smart enough to be able to do something with the knowledge you get...You're the only person I can trust with this."

Isabel looks at him, eyes pleading.

*oh...god.... such power, handed right to him. Yes, yes, he must. He takes her other hand, and stares into her eyes.*

I will help you as much as i am able Isabel.

"Thank you." The relief on her face is clear. "I...we'll have to figure out when to do this...because I think we'll have to be laying together for it to work and...I don't have a room now...plus I have a suspicious boyfriend..."

*Tim stares.*

You're not telling Warren?

"As far as Warren knows everything is fine with me. Dream went poof it was all fixed. He doesn't like it, Tim. He was glad when you took the power, he didn't say so but I could sense it just the same. When I told him I had it back he was worried until I said that it was fine now and Dream had fixed it...he can't know. Becuase he'll be upset about it, he'll just wnat me to get rid of it and honestly Tim, I don't think he'd like the idea of me laying down with you."

*Tim nods slowly.*

All right. We can use my room. I'll need some time to research.

"Yeah...And if you change your mind that's okay. I'd...I'd understand..." She stands up and walks over, hugging him tightly.

*Tim hugs her back.*

I'll do what i can.

"What you can do is more than anyone else can and you know it. I'd be lost without you..." Which is more than she should have ever said outloud. She tightens her grip, as if afraid to let go.

*He's not smiling, not where you can see it.*

I appreciate your words Isabel. I'll do my best to be worthy of the faith you put in me.

"You're more than worthy." She pulls back enough to press a kiss to his cheek. "I think I'm the one that doesn't deserve your friendship." She doesn't want to let go. She should but she just can't...

*Tim finally releases the hug, smiling at her.*

As you say.

She wants to kiss him. Something that's probably obvious. But she doesn't. She takes a few steps away from him. "Thank you, Tim. One day I'll be able to repay you for all you've done for me."

*Tim carefully leans back.*

Your friendship is payment enough.

"I know that isn't true but...thank you." She stares at him a moment longer and then turns, walking away.
