Dreams?

[Rin has to think about it. Even in his former life, he didn't dream very often. And if he did, once he wakes up he didn't really remember it. As for since he's been here,it's about the same. He doesn't remember them if he's had them.

He shrugs, looking uncertain.]

Dunno. I don't think I have.

[papillonprincess]

There are certain dreams shinki can have here... they have something to do with our lives before we were shinki.

[ She's a little contemplative herself, staring ahead with a small furrow of her brow. ]

I know we're told not to think about it but perhaps heaven has ways of letting the memories safely trickle into our subconscious. There was a dream I had where I was referred to as the black king.

[ And she had been clad in black armor, standing with others wearing different colored armor... ]

I can only assume it was that sort of dream. Who am I to deny who I was?

[hellskitchen]

[ Rin knows that they will eventually receive their memories, but he wasn't sure how would they go about remembering them. Now Hime makes it pretty clear that those memories are returned in the way of dreams, which is quite clever.

So, she knows this from a dream? Then in her world she must have been a King.]

Guess not. [ Rin smiles at that, but he does fidget a little.] If you're a king, you're a king! Now I feel a little bit nervous being around royalty.

Though, how much do you remember about your past life now? I always wonder about that.

[papillonprincess]

Apart from that, nothing else I'm afraid.

[ She does offer him a smile back.

Nervous about being around royalty... definitely something she can understand. But what was being the black king but a title to her? It's not like she knew what kind of kingdom she ruled over or how much power she had. ]

You needn't worry yourself about how to act. Given the circumstances, I'm just another shinki... much like you are, Rin-kun. We're equals, no matter our origins.

[hellskitchen]

Okay good, because I dunno if I can pretend to be proper.

[He's not the most tactful person, even if he's generally nice. Though he nods as Hime mentions that they are equals.]

You think so? I bet you're a really strong shinki. You seem to carry yourself with a lot of confidence and you're intelligent enough to know all these big words. I'm still tryna figure things out. The process is a bit slow, but I also think it's because I'm a bit of a slacker.

[papillonprincess]

[ There's a chuckle there. Sorry, Rin... you really don't see like the kind who can fake elegance.

But she does shake his head. ]

Confidence comes with experience. I've been here for a while now... once you get the hang of things, I'm sure you could become quite the formidable shinki yourself.

Though slacking off certainly isn't going to do any good. You'll have to put in the effort if you want the power.

[hellskitchen]

Yeah? I guess I will just have to go with the flow of things.

[Although being so easy going kind of leads to him slacking off. He knows he should put in more effort, but he's not entirely sure how. Rin head lowers a little, feeling as if he's being lectured. Though Hime's words ring true.]

Yeah...I should probably hit up those training camps they have every month. It's too bad there isn't something like that everyday. Sometimes it's hard to find something to pass the time.

[Hence the slacking. Rin requires an activity to hold his attention, and that's not always available.]
