[ He has been trained not to hesitate, not to falter in the face of things that could kill you- Ostoya is full of them, around every corner and in every face. Whatever is above them is likely a far worse fate than whatever is down there, and he knows that deep in the marrow of his bones.
Still, the glimpse of the glistening, murky water is enough to almost make him halt for a split second- just one. But he doesn't really have time, because the hand clapsed in his yanks him forward and off the edge before he has time to correct himself. He is no stranger to falling, at least, wind in his ears and tension in his limbs-
He wakes up in a cold sweat. Luckily, however, he is used to the nightmares- he doesn't make a sound.
It sticks with him, for a while- it's difficult to forget things like that, but it eventually fades into all the others. In fact, he nearly forgets about it, until a few days later, when he's heading from being out on the town.
It's Trahearne's face that brings the image back, as they cross paths for the first time in a short while. It takes a brief moment for it to click again, but he's the first to speak, presumably. ]
...You don't make a habit out of of sharing your nightly dreams, do you. [ It's not very accusatory, just matter of fact. ] I'd rather not experience it for the 5th time.
