AWAKENING. (video)

( the video seems to come alive by accident. a button pressed thanks to the sleeping hand of a young man, his shifting body tossing it by the wayside. as it tumbles down, he comes better into view, eyes shut tight with his chest rising and falling steadily with his sleeping breath.

every once in awhile, he stirs, as though disturbed by something in a dream, shifting in the cocoon, turning, then settling again.

maybe... someone should wake him up. he seems pretty content just to keep on dozing, though... )

FAYREN. (action)

( okay, so forget being woken up from those dreams. clearly THIS is the dream. with all the people bustling about, the markets— and the fish. it's no surprise that noctis has found his way to the docks, eyeing up some of the equipment that vendors have laid out, and reaching out to take a particular lure in his hands. )

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. ( he's smiling, beaming even, as he talks to no one in particular. )
