So it is not a one-to-one similarity, which is both simultaneously disappointing and invigorating. It would help our understanding of dream/nightmare if it were, but the prospect that these properties are unique to those of other worlds' is just as exciting, and warrants its own respect.

Regardless, your research sounds exciting - I have never met another who has specialized in a metaphysical topic like the light and darkness of hearts. But I can see how it might be useful, especially if such a thing plays a big role in the systems of magic where you come from.

I would love to have you come by the archives sometime - I can show you what we do and what sort of information we have already, and I would be more than happy to assist you if you're inclined to contribute.

It would also be a perfect opportunity for us to continue this conversation further.

And my name is Trahearne.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice and much more practical if I already understood everything that's going on here. And yet, and it's probably selfish, but I'm enjoying the challenge of learning something entirely new.

It's very useful and, I'd say, much more concrete than metaphysical in application. I'd be happy to speak about my work assisting others in restoring worlds. It's been very rewarding, and there is still so much to do in that regard once I wake up.

That's a generous offer, I'd be happy for your assistance. I've found that I'm far better working with others than alone.

My name is Ienzo. It's really a pleasure meeting you, even if not in person yet.

[pactmarshal]

It certainly is not selfish - if anything, it gives those of us who are more used to spending our time among books something to do and think about. All who have come here have gravitated towards things they find more familiar; you are not alone.

You have my best wishes that your research is fruitful for when you wake up.

The sentiment is mutual! I'm looking forward to meeting you in person, Ienzo.

[lightresearch]

The same to you - whatever you focus your studies on next, I wish you all the best in the waking world.

[pactmarshal]

[ Oh. Hm. That's a bit awkward.

For a few moments, Trahearne debates saying something, but ultimately decides not to. Perhaps that's something he'll broach with Ienzo when they're a little closer. Just...not now, and not over the journals.

Nonetheless, the sentiment is appreciated. ]
