[If he was being perfectly honest, the flowers were one of the more interesting things he'd seen Ronan dream or imagine. It was up there with the perfect replica of the Pig and the chainsaw. Of course, the chainsaw had just been fun.
He nodded slowly as he listened, stroking one finger along the flower petals before he straightened up. It wasn't like he didn't know about the night horrors, but he'd wanted Ronan to tell him about them. They'd been plaguing him for longer than Kavinsky had imagined, and he wondered what had spawned them in the first place. More importantly than that though, he realized the dream was picking up on Ronan's influence and he pushed back against it, trying to keep things stable and calm.]
Ronan. [Not Lynch like normal. This was a somewhat delicate moment.] Don't bring them here. You're safe right now; they can't hurt you.
[He took a breath. Maybe he could dream something to help keep Ronan's dreams on an even keel? But that would be close to drugging his dreams, stifling him, and Kavinsky wasn't sure he liked the idea of that.]
And if you stick with me, I'll make sure you never have anything to worry about again. I've got a gun, just in case.
[He might have had the one he'd dreamed with Ronan with him here in this place, but he'd had one before that, too. It was his safety measure against nightmares.]
I can teach you, too, how to keep them out of your dreams. [If he could, if it was possible. He was sure it had to be in some way; he'd come leaps and bounds himself, after all. If he could stomp down his own nightmares, he could help someone else overcome theirs.]
