A blind future in front of me
Who: Alice and Jaskier
When: pre-dawn hours of Aguril 5th
Where: Witcher House
What: Alice has a very strange dream...
Warnings: PLOT
[For better or worse, Alice has been spending more and more nights with Jaskier these days. The home she shared with Karin and Rikku has become too lonely to remain for long, and she's not eager to repeat the mistake she made lingering overlong in the cottage she shared with Yuri. Which... that feels like a lifetime ago, despite it not even having beena year.
Besides, even if Alice and Jaskier haven't brought it up since the day Karin left, there's the increasing sense that they're on borrowed time. Alice isn't keen on wasting it, and it seems that Jaskier isn't either.
The arrangement ends up being something of a mixed blessing in the early hours of the 5th. Alice isn't alone when she startles awake. But it comes with the downside accidentally waking someone else up, especially when the first thing she does after bolting upright is wince and hiss at the pain she feels in her right hand.
There's a burn and a faint glow there, but both quickly subside to show a mark of a red flower. Strange.]

no subject
[It sounds a bit absurd, but honestly, nearly his entire time spent in this place had been absurd. It wasn't the most important part, either. Anything she wanted.
He paled. A wish.
Jaskier hated wishes.]
There's always a chance in the next dream, you will. [He leaned his head on her shoulder, taking a shaking breath. It wasn't her fault. He'd never mentioned the djinn -- it was years and years ago, after all. And one could argue it was partly his fault. But he could not imagine the same happening to her. He would not allow it.] In my experience, wishes are extremely dangerous. [He lifts his head, looking at her.
He's fairly sure he can feel it.]
Do you want to look for it? It wasn't simply a dream, was it?
