Their Reunion (p)

[Dream]

((Others may enter if they gain my permission or Otaku's permission))

Dream has been having very interesting things happen to her. She has spent a couple nights at Itamiku's ran into hollows and has overall been living a very new and exciting life then what she was normally used to. Luckily for her shes tough and can handle it and today was a very special day. Today was when she would get to meet up with Animus again! She has been looking forward to this day for the entire week, it was one week ago that she met Itamiku and Animus and made a pact to protect each other, and to help each other change. It was a monumental occasion for Dream and she felt that it was equally important for Animus as well.

it was midday and Dream was sure he would appear any moment now. All she had to do was wait, she was currently at the hill where they all originally met. Itamiku wasn't here but that was because he was busy somewhere else at the moment. He may show up later but he had no idea what Dream had in mind to do with Animus. She has been trying to think what would be the best things to do with Animus to help him understand humans more and to help him become more human to boot. She was actually a bit excited about her plan too. it took her awhile to find the right location for what she had planned but eventually she found the right spot.

Dream would sit down on the grass and await Animus' return to the human world. She made a note to ask him if it might be okay to visit his home someday, although she did not know what his world was like nor if it was safe for her. She felt like it would be polite to ask and she was genuinely curious to boot.

[Otaku.Legend]

With a violent rip in the dimension, the Garganta Infinita took its place in the reality; a gaping maw revealing a torrent of dark, violent, tearing reiatsu. I took my first steps from out of the dimensional portal atop the hill I last saw Dream and Itamiku. Today is the day I had promised to meet them again and I intended to keep my vow. As I landed atop the soft grassy hill, I looked down to the small portion of earth Dream, Itamiku and I had our last conversation. What laid before my eyes is the one person I was hoping to see, Dream. Her delicate little form sitting upon the grassy hill as if waiting for something or rather someone, most likely me.

As I entered the dimension, I had allowed my reiatsu to leak outwards and alerted all within range to my presence. If Dream remembered what my reiatsu felt like, she would be able to tell when I entered her vicinity. Gentle steps down the side of the hill, my towering stature of twenty feet loomed over her own visage. Standing just a few feet behind her, my large body casting a grand shadow over her entire body and made it almost seem like night had come. I looked down to her as I noticed distinct changes in her outlook. Unlike before, she did not possess that wanderer type look but a more settled and hometown girl look. After just a single week, she had changed quite a lot on the outside but I wondered if she had changed on the inside.

"Did you miss me?"

A light chuckle escaping past my mouth. I enjoyed the company of this human girl, despite what others may think of such a relationship. I felt almost like a father figure as I looked to her petite form.

[Dream]

At the sound of a large booming voice and the gathering of a large shadow over her Dream would know that Animus had arrived at last in the human world. She would look up and say "Yeah I did! You won't believe what I have planned for us today!" She would smile and stand up once again. When she looked up at Animus a big grin would cross her face as she was obvious happy to see him. She was nowhere near the height of Animus but that height was going to come to their advantage later in the evening. She had a good plan tonight and she was hoping that Animus might agree. She had a few questions to ask first though.

"However, before I get to that i have a question for you. What is your favorite type of movie?" she wasn't sure if Animus would know what a movie was but if he didn't she could explain it to him. She was going to bring Animus to a movie tonight and hopefully they won't get into too much trouble as they are watching it. She smiled at her own cleverness and wanted to know what Animus thought of the idea. She figured that doing something human like watching a movie may be just the ticket to helping Animus understand what humans are like. She has already scoped out their movie options, which wasn't much, but she managed to track down several movies they could watch. However, first she needed to know if Animus liked a certain type of movie.

She would smile up at Animus as she awaited his response. She had to admit he was very very BIG. he easily towered over her and cast her entirely into his shadow. Normally his size would be a problem for watching a movie but Dream had thought of that and was well prepared. She couldn't help by smile at Animus and her own ingenuity.

[Otaku.Legend]

Never had I met a human who is glad to be reunited with a Hollow. This fact alone eluded my mind as I could not wrap my conscience around such an odd piece of knowledge. Even though I told her how many Hollow feed upon human souls, she still saw me as a friend and someone of importance in her life. I cannot even begin to comprehend the emotions running through me as those words uttered forth from her mouth. Whether these emotions within me are truly human or not, it did not matter as long as this human girl retained a life within this world. There is no telling what I would do should she lose her life or to what lengths I may go to seek vengeance. There are not many human in the world who have the audacity to trust a Hollow so I would have to protect this most unique of humans as best as I can.

At the mentioning of plans, I could not help but gather an odd thought of what events may occur upon this day. I knew the only plans that could occur today would be things normal humans do and not a Hollow. I could not help but wonder just how thought out Dream's plans are. Suddenly, another odd question burst from the young girls mouth and directed toward me. "Movie?" I thought to myself as her words reached my ears. I had heard many humans speak of "Going to the movies" but never before had I taken the chance to investigate this suggestion. Perhaps now would be a good time to participate in some human activities and gain a new sense of knowledge.

" I have heard other humans mention this 'movie' but I have never participated in this human activity. What does it involve? Is there a theme to this 'movie'?"

I knew I probably sounded like a bumbling idiot as I asked these questions but that thought was furthest from my mind. My interest in this "movie" got the better of me as I could not hold back the excitement of participating in a human event. An electrifying shock coursed through my veins as I could only imagine what activities Dream had planned for us.

[Dream]

Dream would smile genuinely up at Animus and then she would say "Don't worry about it, if you haven't seen a movie then I will choose a good one for you then." she would then take out a piece of paper that she wrote on in child like hand writing. It had times of movies written upon it and different location next to the movie times. She would read up and down the list until she found the movie she was looking for. "Ah Ha, it is an earlier showing too. I think you might like this movie." It was an older movie but she was sure it would be one that Animus would like however she had a question she needed to ask about this plan of hers.

"I have a movie all ready however I can't get in, I don't have any money so what i will need is a big invisible seat that rises above the boarded fence it is in. I don't suppose I could sit on your shoulders while we watch the movie can I?" She has been working up the courage to ask that for days now and now that she has finally asked it she seems a bit less stressed. She knew some people might ask why a girl was floating up in the sky but she was not going to get up until it was dark so there was a minimal chance to be seen. After she had this question she was hoping to talk with Animus about himself and maybe his home. She wasn't sure what a home for a hollow is like but she doubted it was very pleasant.

Dream would await Animus' response to such a ludicrous question but Dream wanted tonight to be fun. The serious stuff can come after, she wasn't sure how Animus would respond to her suggestion about his eating habits and she wasn't sure she liked it either. She was sure that she could live with it and in a way it can help. It just felt wrong on a few levels but Dream didn't want to be eaten and if she could come up with a way to help Animus fit in better it was worth every effort. She wasn't ready to share her views yet though and she would wait until after the movie to speak her views to him.

[Otaku.Legend]

I have no idea what a movie is but judging from Dreams reaction to partaking in this event, it seemed to be something humans enjoyed dearly. I could not wait to go to this "movie" and do whatever it is that humans do at such an event. I did worry though about how I would fit into a building considering I stand at a height of twenty feet tall and can barely get a portion of my body through a door. Just when I thought I would be unable to partake in this human event, Dream asked me a rather odd question, actually, it is more of a favor than an inquiry. She requested permission to sit upon my shoulder as we "watched the movie." Judging from her use of words, I could only assume that a "movie" is some sort of event where there is little to no reacting and simply watching something. It is the sort of event I could be comfortable doing since anything that required physical reaction; I could not let myself participate in such events.

Looking to Dreams face, I could see her pondering of whether I would or would not allow her to sit upon my shoulder as we watched the movie. Her curious face as to what the answer would be showed signs of assurance and doubt as if she thought I would say no. I could never say no to Dream and her innocent, enthusiastic personality but that did not mean I could not tease her about it. Lies are something all Hollow can perform effortlessly as it is one of the means for us to lure humans in and devour them. I also hypothesize it is one of the human emotions or traits that created us Hollow in the first place. Lifting my right hand to my face, I clenched all fingers except the index finger that I would proceed to tap on my chin as I turn my face away from Dream.

"Hmm, I don't know. You'd be awfully close to my mouth. I might just eat you."

Only moments after my quick remark, a static chuckling emanated from my mouth. It is a lame attempt at a joke but for us Hollow, it is the closest thing we can attempt to being "funny." I could only joke this way with Dream cause she knew I would not hurt her no matter the circumstance. With any other humans, that little phrase would have surely sent them running faster than I can even turn to face them once again.

"Just kidding. Of course you can."

If I could smile, I would have but this mask prevents me from doing so. How sad.

[Dream]

Dream would look up at Animus expectantly and she didn't expect him to make a joke but he did. It was a big learning experience for Dream as it meant that Animus may be more human then he thinks. She was fairly certain that if he said that joke to anyone else they would be running for the hills but Dream knew better, they had too much in common and that formed a bond between them. She could tell they were becoming closer each day and in her opinion it was a good thing. She just hopes they are not interrupted while watching the movie.

Dream smiled as she never knew a Hollow could joke, it was very refreshing and she couldn't help but tease him back, "Yeah, I would give you indigestion if you ate me anyway." she would then get all excited and knew the perfect movie for them to watch. Especially seeing as he had a good sense of humor. She was going to brig him to see 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' she was sure that they would have a good time watching it. She has never seen the movie but from what she has heard is that it is a spoof on Dr. Frankenstein and that they wear completely ridiculous outfits. She was hoping that Animus would enjoy it as well, apparently it was a comedy movie that everyone must watch.

If it wasn't a good movie they could always just leave, it was bound to be a nice night and maybe an easy stroll would ease Dream's tension of what she was going to suggest later on. "Excellent, though we will have to wait for my extra large piggy back ride until it is dark. I am pretty sure people will freak if they see a 14 year old girl floating in the air." She would smile at the thought and then look up at Animus again, "In the meantime is there anything you would like to do?" She was curious what a Hollow thinks is fun "Is there anything you find fun to do? Like do you know any cool hollow games? Or we could just talk until it is time to go. Either way we have a couple hours till nightfall."

[V E L]

Such power. I had not sensed such a power in many years. My gargantuan size would cower before it. The pressure of this being's spirit is immense.... I must meet with him. As I took flight towards the power I could sense, I felt the power was a similar nature to that of my own. This must be a hollow of some sort. I had become excited, my wings spread across the sky, creating a shadow upon the city below, if they would see it. I roared as I often did when hunting prey, but different this time. I wasn't looking for a fight. I was looking... to learn.

There. I spotted him. It seemed it was within the Gillian stage of evolution. It seemed to control itself too, as it talked with a human girl. She has powers of her own, it seems. I can sense the spiritual pressure from her as well. It didn't matter though, I was not here for a fight. I would land in front of the two, atop a building. As I did my wings would come in and lay at rest upon my back. My tail would come across my body, and I would lay upon it as for comfort. The building I landed on was quite large and could easily hold my figure. I looked down at the two, and they would easily notice my entrance. I would speak to the hollow, in a friendly tone.

"Hello... I could sense you from some distance. You must be quite the strong one..."

[/i][/blockquote][/font]

[Otaku.Legend]

Hearing Dreams retort to my joke, I burst out laughing at her little remark. Never before did I meet a human who not only went along with my joke but even took their own demise and turned it into a joke. Just that small phrase was enough to make my day as I discovered something new about humans. Some of them possess the intellect and calmness to turn any situation to their advantage even when it may seem all is against them. No matter how small one may see a human to be, they are extremely resourceful and interesting lifeforms.

Lost within my own thoughts, I finally contemplated a question for Dream when suddenly she let loose a torrent of questions; all of which pertained to myself. This human girl's interest in the Hollow could only be matched by my own interest in the Human race or so I thought. I could not shake this fact it was not Hollow she truly cared about but rather myself. She wished to learn more about me, the Gillian who chose not to savagely kill and cause mayhem. Though it is true that both Dream and I share a common past and we wish to achieve goals of the same nature; I am still a Hollow. It is difficult for me to allow others to trust myself for I am unsure of when I may cause trouble.

"Whoa, whoa. Slow down. One question at a ti —"

Before the completion of my sentence, a sudden roar alerted me to the creature flying above. Looking to the form of this intruder, I could feel the energy emitting from its body without much trouble. This creature possessed a Hollow form I had seen once in the past but its energy signature is new to me. An unknown Hollow meant I could not easily determine its nature and to make matters worse, if it wished to fight; I would find it hard to protect myself and Dream. Watching as the creature landed upon a building opposite of the hill Dream and I resided. Once the creature landed, I did not make a move from where I stood though beneath my cloak, my fingers were poised to strike. As the Hollow spoke, I was surprised our intruder is yet another Hollow who possessed intelligence. I, however, could not help but retort to its greeting.

"It seems not strong enough if other Hollow do not run in fear of me. Then again, we are a violent and power hungry race. What do you wish of us, Hollow?"

I did not like the direction this situation is heading but there isn't much I can do about that. With Dream here, the situation is not to my advantage.

[Dream]

Dream was about to gain a response to her questions, although she seems to have overloaded Animus with too many questions, when the quiet day for the two of them was interrupted by another hollow that had joined their gathering. It was a large Hollow that looked like a Dragon! If it wasn't for the white mask and giant hole in its side she would have thought it was a dragon. The two would of been indistinguishable without those differences. The dragon hollow had let out a large roar and Dream could sense its presence. This was a new feeling to Dream that she was still getting used to but she could sense some small feeling of other spiritual beings near her. She was starting to learn how one sensed another presence and once she figured out how to master this feeling she would find a way to hide hers. In the meantime however, they have been spotted by another hollow and Dream was counting on Animus to judge whether or not this new comer was a friend or a foe.

At first it seemed that it was a foe, but it must surely be too early to form sure a conclusion after just meeting. After all if every hollow was going to attack first then why did this one not? Was it because Animus was stronger? She was not good enough with her sensing ability to be able to tell at this moment and she would just have to wait and see what Animus would do, however as a precaution she would ready herself to flee if Animus needed her out of the way. She may be able to get Itamiku to help in time if Animus became endangered. Unfortunately for Dream she had no true offensive powers. Sure her leg could kick through walls but was that strong enough to hurt something as large as a dragon? She didn't want to find out at this time, she wasn't even sure she has only ever tried kicking wooden walls at the strongest. This thing looked most like it was a flying armor of scales!

Either way she would activate her power and she would feel the sharp twang of pain shoot down her spine and the changes conform to her legs eventually leaving her with dark blue legs that were not ordinary human legs at all and look more like blue plated wolf legs, minus the fur. She would run and get some distance if Animus commanded it, after all he was the fighter not Dream and she would follow his lead. Years in the streets and living on her own has taught her that many people know more then she does. She would get closer to Animus though as if his presence might protect her if this other hollow attacked.

[V E L]

I sighed. I suppose I understand the two of these beings not understanding why I am civil. Their first reaction is to prepare for battle, as is the same reaction I get from almost everyone and everything I meet. Though, if I was in their shoes I would act the same way. The pure sight of me usually scares others, and my bulky size never helps. Either way, I wasn't here for a fight. I was here for information. Over my years of living I had met many Gillian, and none had a mind of their own. This was obviously different with this Gillian. I must discover how he got his transformation. I must discover every detail I possibly can. As I pondered this thought the girl's legs transformed, it seemed she was preparing for a fight as well. So, I took to assure them that I am no enemy.

"Calm yourselves. I am not here for a fight. I only wish to speak with you, hollow."

Though my voice would boom as I speak, it would provide a sense of calm, and so would my posture. Laying my head over my tail, it gave the appearance like I was simply relaxing. This was the only position I could use to try to convince others that I wasn't here for a fight. I looked upon the hollow once more, ready to present my questions, but not until I had introduced myself.

"Every other hollow may devour everything in sight, but you and I are different. I am Daimuerte. The pleasure is mine to meet you. Would you mind answering a few questions? I seek knowledge."

[/center]


[/blockquote][/font]

[Otaku.Legend]

"Seeking knowledge?" I thought to myself. It seemed I am not the only Hollow out there who wished to gain knowledge and increase our own intelligence. Despite the vicious nature of Hollow and our tendency to feed upon anything that moves, some of us only seek to gain a meager portion of knowledge to better ourselves. To help us evolve and to become more human; as strange as that may be. It is because we originated from Humans that we thirst for this knowledge. It is what drives us; those with intelligence I mean.

Though on the side of caution and regretting the dangerous situation I put Dream in, I decided I would attempt at conversing with this creature or rather, Daimuerte as he called himself. It is because of my trusting nature that I received a chance to befriend Humans, Shinigami and other Hollow. Perhaps doing the same in this situation would grant me yet another being who I can consider a companion. As I watched Dream step closer to me, I could tell there resided only slight fear in her. She did not truly fear this creature, rather she trusted me to protect her and that is something I will not fail to do should the need arise.

"Daimuerte? I am Animus. It seems we both are on a search for knowledge. If you wish to speak, we may do so."

I would not show any fear nor would I falter in my stand before this creature. I know I am stronger than this creature but I am unsure if Dream realizes this. It is only through my strength that she is protected and should I show weakness, I will lose my advantage. No matter how strong someone may be, doubt and fear leads to a weaker being. I cannot allow that to happen no matter what.

[Dream]

Dream would watch as the Hollow would say that he does not seek a fight and that he seeks knowledge instead. It seemed to be a common occurrence here in Karakura Town that the Hollows here are a little more...passive. She supposed that was the word to use but she wasn't sure it was a new town she has just entered and Dream hasn't even told Animus about anything that happened last week. Although she didn't come here to talk about herself for she was normally one to keep herself a secret that others must find out about. Instead she was here to talk and learn about Animus and who he was, she was not expecting another Hollow to arrive let alone another Hollow that talked first instead of attacking and it seemed this one had something in common with Animus.

She was beginning to see a theme with the Hollows in this region but she was not yet ready to jump to that conclusion. For now she wanted to learn about this new comer ad whether he was a threat or not. She had to admit he was kind of cute... in a scaly sort of way. She would shake the thought from her mind thinking to herself that she was being silly. How could a dragon, let alone a Hollow dragon, be cute? She would then direct her attention to the intruder and she would wait for Animus to give her some sort of sign as to how to proceed next.

She had a few questions she wanted to ask the other Hollow but she was instead a little miffed that this new Hollow only wanted to talk to Animus. Dream would think to herself, that a human not running away from a giant 20 foot tall Hollow would be more interesting! Regardless she would wait for them to have their banter and she would ask her own questions if she saw fit a time to ask them. She was certain there would be time to ask a lot about this new Hollow and if it was more powerful then Animus she could run... but could she leave Animus behind if he was in trouble? She knew she could only run to get him help was all. For now she would observe and she was paying very close attention to the dragon hollow. She was analyzing the new hollow as best she could from this distance.

[V E L]

Good. He seems as smart as he is strong. I know not why he has allied himself with a human girl, but I suppose I understand slightly. I've always watched human's with such curiosity. I long to become one again. But that is a thought for another time. As I listened to the hollow speak, I could tell he was rather close with this human. It was simple to tell that they did not yet trust my words. This is understandable. But it was no matter. Animus looked as if he would answer my questions.

My first question is something I wish to discover about myself. I cannot remember how long ago it was, but I obtained my intelligence at some point. I did not start off wise as a hollow. I was fierce and ruthless. I know not how I came upon the ability to control myself. I wonder if this one knows of how he did so? Hopefully knowing how I am able to control my actions so freely will help me gain more knowledge and in turn, more power in the future. This question was important, almost as much as the next one I would ask.

"So... Animus. I am many hundreds of years old. I did not always posses such intelligence. I cannot remember when or how I obtained complete control over my actions. So.. My first question is, were you always able to control your inner urges? If not, do you remember how you obtained the ability to do so?"

My voice was deep, but it showed no hostile sounds. Whether they wanted to believe it or not, I was on a quest of knowledge.

[Otaku.Legend]

Hearing of Daimuerte's question, I could not help but feel our past shared many similarities. He mentioned of how he started as nothing more than a savage beast; the same as I when I first took upon my Hollow form. The both of us have roamed these lands as Hollow for hundreds of years and during that time, we came to possess an inkling of knowledge. I did not know where this creature came from but I wondered if he lived in the same era as I did. Though I doubted such a fact, I could not hope that he possessed some knowledge of his human life; if he even possessed knowledge that he was once human.

"It seems we both have lived for hundreds of years yet I find it odd we have never met before. I am sorry but I do not know of how I came into possession of this knowledge. This urge to not kill is still new to me and I am unsure how long I can stay this way. My past is still but vague fragments to me."

Despite our thirst for knowledge, both Daimuerte and I seek an answer to how we came into possession of intelligence. What had happened in the past that granted us such a gift? And why were we chosen to have such a gift and so many others are fated to forever be savage beast? I could not fathom what type of entity or power granted us such an ability but whatever it was, I am grateful. It is because of this knowledge that I am able to resist these urges to kill and am able to befriend those of another race. This journey for greater knowledge is what keeps me from reverting back into nothing more than a gluttonous monster.

I looked to Daimuerte and wondered if he remembered anything of his past. I could already tell from his question that he did not possess the entire story of his past but perhaps he too possessed fragments of his memory.

"I wonder, do you possess some remembrance of your past? Not the entire thing just pieces of it. I can remember only varying images of . . ." A slight pause. " . . . mountains of blood, lifeless bodies and just death. These images do not bring me any ease of mind but I know they are clues to my past."

The mere thought of those images brought about a wave of burden upon my soul. One might think that since I was born a Hollow, such things should be common but this is different. The feeling I get whenever I think upon those images, it does not feel like that of a lustful beast looking for the next meal — no, it feels . . . human.

[Dream]

They were similar! This would dawn on Dream as the two hollows started to talk and she would listen to their conversation. She was luckily smart enough to stay silent and listen as both hollows talked about their past. Dream also found this highly informative as she was learning a bit about Animus' past and that might help her understand him better. The first bit of information was that Animus was hundreds of years old!!! She didn't see that coming and she was very surprised indeed.

Her next shock would come when Animus would describe his past which sounded very dark and gruesome. His past did not sound happy at all and even with her past she could not help but feel sorry for him and wanted all the more to help him. It would also seem that they may gain another ally, that was obviously up to debate but for now Dream was not as skiddish of this new Hollow. He, at least she thinks its a he, acts in a similar manner of that to Animus. Continuing her silence she would continue to observe until the time was right to voice her own questions. They could wait for now though as it was bound to be important for Animus to make a Hollow ally, or maybe even a hollow friend.

[V E L]

What of my previous life...? This is the second hollow to ask me this question. I suppose it's been such a long time since then that I have forgotten what I was like in my human form. There are only a few things that I can remember. I suppose telling him these few things wouldn't hurt. Perhaps by revealing it, it may help bring some enlightenment on my part. His memories of death and destruction did not hit too far from what I felt as well. I can only remember a few things... lets see...

"Well... Your own human past is similar to mine. I remember the feeling in my heart. I couldn't sleep at night. I had slain hundreds of enemies with my blade.... I was a knight. I cannot remember what it is I fought for, but I do remember my sense of honor. I'm sorry it's vague, but this is all I can make out of my past memories."

As I explained I had almost forgot of the human girl's presence. I was being rude. Though I was curious why a hollow would ally themselves with something that is viewed by most other hollow as a meal.

"So... Tell me, Animus. Why do you ally yourself with this human girl? I'm quite intrigued."

[/center]

If my face could show expressions, it would be a puzzled one at the moment.[/blockquote][/font]

[Otaku.Legend]

I found it interesting that such a creature could remember so much of his past yet I, a being of higher power possessed only vague images. Daimuerte remembered he was once human and even had memories of what he was in his previous life. I, on the other hand possessed no knowledge of ever being human and not a single trace of what I was in the past.

I could only assume from the images I could see in my mind that I was a murderer; a cold blooded killer for that is the only reason I would remember a sea of blood and bodies. I could not help but feel I will always be condemned to a life of misery and death and that no matter how hard I try, I will never escape. Pushing those thoughts aside, I do not wish to dwell deeper on them than I already have right now. Averting my attention back to Daimuerte, I tried to focus on the question at hand.

Why did I choose to ally myself with this human? The answer should have been obvious to this creature; simply because I can. Though I knew he wished to know why and the deeper reasons for my actions. Though reluctant to answer, I sensed no hostility from his words and deemed it safe to answer.

"I choose to ally myself with a human simply because I wish to. I have always found them interesting. Their ability to adapt to any situation has peeked my curiosity. So, what do you think of humans? What is your interest in them?"

Though it is odd for a Hollow to ally themselves with a human, it should not be that odd for a Hollow to be interested in humans. Those of us who possess intelligence and some form of sentience have always been interested in the ways of humans. I simply chose to take it to another level; interacting with them.

[Dream]

Their banter was interesting and Dream was learning more about both Animus and this other Hollow named Daimuerte. She could sense something that they both shared akin and although they might not understand it they were trying to. This was interesting as Dream has never had any reason to trust Hollows until she met Animus and now she believes him to be her friend. She was growing more accustomed to hollows in ways she could not explain but it was there and she was aware of it on some level. Soon their conversation became about her and why Animus allied himself with her.

Animus would give his reply and although it didn't ring completely true, Dream wasn't sure he did not completely understand what it was about her or any other human, it did ring with certainty. They were friend after all and Dream wanted to add that bit of information for the other hollow to digest. Perhaps she can suggest her idea to both of them. As gruesome as it is, it was a suggestion that might benefit all parties involved. it may give these hollows a way to fit into society and at the same time give them what they need...food.

She would wait to propose this for now though as she first wanted to inform this other hollow they were friends. She wasn't sure if this hollow would use this information against them or not but she had to have that leap of faith that maybe not all hollow are evil incarnate. That maybe they are just misunderstood and need guidance. To this degree she would trust Daimuerte with a bit of information that Daimuerte might find interesting, And I am Animus' friend!" the information added all Dream could do was wait for Daimuerte's response.

My interest in humans? My interest is purely analytical. Human's are more fascinating than any other form of existence. Place five humans in a room and you will hear ten opinions. Their differing qualities causes me to envy them. I never understood how I was human though, or what I was like as a person. I feel as though I had a human sense of honor. I cannot even remember when I turned into this form, only that I have. As I pondered this thought, the human girl blurted out that she was friends with this hollow.

Friends with a human? That's preposterous. I study them each day, but how can a human befriend a hollow? At a moment's notice the hollow could turn on them, and devour them in cold blood. None of us have true control, and we must all feed to survive. As apathetic I am about devouring living beings, I cannot simply stop altogether. Perhaps this fellow has developed a way to do just that? I'm not sure. All of this is quite interesting though.

"My interest is purely analytical. I'm fascinated upon their self control, or sometimes even their lack of such. Tell me Animus. How can you resist natural temptations in front of this girl? Surely she knows what you truly are? Surely she knows that no matter your sense of control, you must feed upon souls to thrive, or to survive even. If this isn't true, please tell me your way of survival. I'm quite tired of these meaningless meals. Human's are meant for me to analyze, not devour."

I posed a difficult question to answer. I do hope she trusts him enough, or this could become very depressing for her to hear.[/blockquote][/font]
