Re: [Woods: Atticus & Eames]
Eames thought the town fell broadly into two camps. The brazen, certainly. Enough people talked openly about the way the world was skewed, had shadows, depths that they walked tall. But there was a contingent wilfully blind or entirely content to ignore the brazen. Eames himself valued discretion. He didn't talk openly or often about the way his dreams ribboned out like loose shoelaces and caught other people up in them. The people who knew, knew. But he also wore very loud shirts and blazers that distracted attention from the fact he looked like six foot plus of solid muscle.
In fact, in his own environment, Eames looked rather more lazily dangerous than he did in any other setting than the depths of a dream.
"You asked for my opinion from my experience. Jealousy is feelings, you're right. One doesn't have to feel all over the place and feelings in general, can be dangerous when they dictate what you do and how you do it. And I think jealousy is different when it's based in something you almost had, rather than coveting something you never did," Eames mused aloud. Janus felt it, which was evident to Eames, but perhaps it was the kind of jealousy that stemmed from an understanding.
"What have you learned so far? I've not done much in the way of exploring," at least, not in the physical world.
