It was very hard on her when she learned who her real father was and that her biological mother was using her but she got through it and in a way it helped her figure out who she is and what she stands for. It was less about being settled and more about having enough emotional capacity to deal with others, which I know sounds bad but it's the truth.

I'm just telling you the truth. [Her tone is just as warm.] And yes, that's also a high selling point. But the dark clothes and mysterious vibe doesn't hurt either when you're talking to a sixteen year old goth girl.

I'm sorry she had to endure such a trial, though that is indeed a silver lining. It's true that sometimes our struggles strip away parts of us, but in so doing reveal an unmovable essence at the core. And my apologies, when I said settled, I meant it in more than a physical way. Emotional stability, in a way of speaking. It's okay to make certain you're in a place to truly be a positive influence on those around you before drawing them near. I think so at least, though it's easier to say that to others than internalize.

Is that my vibe, mm? Mysterious. I do suppose not many dreams are blatantly stark.

She was certainly made stronger from it, which I guess is a necessary thing in my line of business. You don't need to apologize, I just thought that I should explain it a little more. Rachel is very dear to me but I was so distraught and messed up after Hank's death I didn't think I could be of any help to her until I had worked through my grief. And now that I have I guess I've been a bit scared to reach out and contact her again.

[She's giggling at you again, Dream.] You know very well that you can be mysterious.

From:

shadowtruths

Is the fear that she will not be receptive to the contact, or that you might not be the same person she remembers? Or something else?

I can neither confirm nor deny your theory at this time. [Mystery.]

From:

Mostly it's the fear of not being receptive to contact. I left Gotham when things were pretty bad so part of me worries she'll think I was abandoning her as well.

Uh-huhn, suuuuure. ;)

From:

shadowtruths

I see. That is a fair concern, I admit. Though perhaps once you explain your reasonings, if she did feel slighted she will find some resolution to that? It is difficult though to make that first step not knowing if you will be granted that chance. If I can offer any support during that venture let me know.

From:

dawn_is_breaking

Thank you, I appreciate the support. Maybe I'll send her a text this weekend, it would be nice to hear from her and know that she's doing well.

From:

shadowtruths

At the very least you shall have peace of mind knowing where you stand.

From:

dawn_is_breaking

Exactly.

[ooc: shall we end this thread here?]

[Seems like a good place! We'll have to follow up with how Dawn and Raven's reunion went sometime. If you want!]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[Sounds good to me, Raven is going to be SO curious about Dream and want all the saucy details XD ]

From:

shadowtruths

[LOL, Dream will make himself scarce and pretend he has no idea what they are talking about.]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[ooc: hahaha he's so cute, cut to Rachel telling Dick that Dawn has a new boyfriend who is better than him because he's the King of Dreams. XDD ]

From:

shadowtruths

[He is infinitely cooler. And taller. :D Dawn is definitely a better partner than Thess was, LOL. Like I adore her but what we know of that relationship it was a bit of a trash fire. He's better off with someone who isn't quite so much all about themselves first.]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[I can just imagine Raven eating popcorn and listing all the ways that Dream is cooler than Dick is: 'did you know he made a whole ballroom in his KINGDOM for her? And all you did was drag her to record stores and lie to her.....'
Hahaha yeah Thess is awesome but that relationship was kind of on fire. XD ]

From:

shadowtruths

[Drag him, Rachel, LOL. He deserves it for the lying. That is a nice element so far with Dream and Dawn, them being honest. Even if it's just to say they're not up to talking about something yet.]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[The lying not to mention trying to dump Rachel on her and then taking off. Dick pulls so many dick moves in that show XD
I think it's really sweet how respectful Dawn and Dream have been with one another. <3 ]

From:

shadowtruths

[Ooof, yeah. Nightwing is one of my favorite characters and I’m okay with him not being perfect (he certainly isn’t in the comics, either) but I do side eye some of the show’s choices, LOL. I still need to finish season 3, though.]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[I love imperfect characters it's just that in the show sometimes his decisions seem really random. Season 3 is...well half of it is good, the other half feels really thrown together. I suspect it was because of COVID and the sudden restrictions and staff getting sick and what not.]

From:

shadowtruths

[OOC: Yeah, a lot of shows had to wrap up as best they could due to COVID, which is understandable. I do wanna finish season 3. I just fell into the trap of life happening and then not getting around to going back to it, LOL.]
