Nerdanel looks... unusually frazzled.

"I... have any others had any visions? I... I fear something terrible is about to happen..."

[Nita's reply is a little less snarky than Garrett's - mostly because she's busily writing her dream down.]

Yeah. I'm used to it from back home, but...

What did you see? Or feel; there was that in it, too.

[The stab of terror-fear did as much to wake her as the burning of a planet had.]

A world dying. [ She breathes ]

[Nita, voice near-nonexistent:]

Its whole atmosphere was on fire, it looked like.

And then that fear - it wasn't mine, but it stabbed right through me, so it may as well have been.

I saw a light bursting from the surface. [ She shakes her head ] Spreading like Morgoth's creeping shadows but very, very, fast.

... Has anyone had this sort of thing happen before?

On this train, specifically.

[Otherwise they may be here all day.

As it is, Nita scribbles down a last few notes before putting her pencil down, sighing.]

I hate this.

[marriedanidiot]

Foresight is not unknown amnogst my people. But this... yes, I think the dreams happen more frequently here.

Ah child, I am sorry you must be subjected to this as well, Nita.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Well. At least Nita knows, now?]

I... thanks.

You think we'll be okay, though? That- that we'll be able to do something about what we saw?

[marriedanidiot]

I don't know. Foresight is... never clear - the future is not set. To seek to avoid a path may only cause it to come to pass.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods, making only a grim 'hnn' in response. 'The future is so much more malleable' is not working to their benefit here.]

Exactly.

Still, thanks for posting first. It does help, to talk about it.

[marriedanidiot]

Thank you, my dear. I only... I worry. I've never seen disaster on that sort of scale...

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita, unfortunately, has, and it hurts her to think that for so many people, this is the first time they'll be seeing something on this scale...

Well, hopefully they still won't.]

If we can, we'll prevent it. You have my word.

[For whatever good that is. Nita winces at the thought, but it's there anyway.]

[marriedanidiot]

Ai, Nita, don't promise what you cannot be sure of holding. All we can do is try.

Fair to wrap this thread, you think?

[unfavorableinstigation]

Then try we will.

... To learn what we can, if nothing else.

Maybe-

[Nita cuts herself off, then, after a minute, hesitantly:]

You wouldn't mind meeting up in the kitchen, would you? I can make cocoa.

ya

[marriedanidiot]

If you like, of course dear.
