I wouldn't expect you to be. I already know that I have to be the conscience in this relationship.
...not that it is. A relationship.
I know, but people here seem to have a bad habit of turning into what they are in their dreams here. My friend Eli -- well. I'd just rather be safe than sorry. But I am starting to feel like I was being paranoid.
[Damon] I... don't think I can explain it exactly. It's not like I have feelings for him, or anything, but what I feel in the dreams, I feel in real life, except duller. When I was afraid of him in the dreams, I felt kind of scared of him here, too. And now that I'm not really afraid of him anymore... I'm feeling that too. It hasn't really been working that way with anyone else -- definitely not with you. I kind of... Well, I don't like you, in my dreams.
Yes? Should I not have said that? I know we hadn't really talked about that, beyond the date, but I figured it was time one of us stopped dancing around it. Was that too soon or something?
