RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

Eames didn't like feeling nervous. It made him fidget more than usual, which was why he had one hand shoved into his jeans pocket, wrapped around a small glass bottle. He would not fidget with a vial of Somnacin. His poker chip, though, was being spun over and round his fingers. Normally, he could guess how people would react to things, how he could tell them things and not have them lose their temper or laugh in his face, but he truly had no idea at all about how this next meeting was going to go.

Still, he wasn't going to find out by dithering in his living room, was he?

He was out of the flat and standing in front of Dream's front door in a couple of seconds, and then he twisted his hand round to catch his poker chip before knocking on the Boss's door.

Eames turned to face Morpheus and almost-smiled back in response. "I've no doubt that you could stop the tides and have the sun rising in the North if you put your mind to it. Telling me you can do whatever you want in your own realm is hardly a shock, you know."

He had lifted his tea and was about to take a drink when the Boss kept talking. "I... wasn't until now? So that's a cheerful thought, thank you very much. But no, I just didn't know how you'd take it. I mean, I know I'd be livid if someone said to me that they had decided not to bother asking me to provide paintings any more because they had found a brain-dead chimp who could slap paint on canvas instead. Which is a strange metaphor, I know, and my paintings are nowhere near what you can do, nor is Somnacin a brain-dead chimp... And it's not that we're going to do anything like that, anyway, I just. I thought you should know that that's what we used, and that it's here now." He blew on his drink to cool it, then looked over at the Boss once more. "I would appreciate not being done away with, though."

"It's different here," Morpheus replied, retrieving his own cup from the table and topping it off. "You're different." The same rules didn't necessarily apply. "Yes, I have dispatched a few dream vortexes in my day--those who broke down the walls between dreams and sucked other dreamers into their own subconscious spiral. I don't just do away with them without first observing how they interact with my world."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I appreciate your showing me. Though I wasn't worried. I hear this stuff has some side effects that you don't get with the real thing."
