As night falls on Baedal, the city is almost quiet. The streets have a few last minute workers returning home, but by now, most citizens have already gone by the temples and picked up their vurt, ready to lay down and dream.

After placing a not-feather in one's mouth, there's a moment where it fizzes against the tongue before sliding coolly down the back of the throat and pulling the user down into sleep. A series of impressions, more sensation than anything concrete, appears before the user and this is how one chooses which Dreamer to enter.

"Hey, I was a kid once!" he shouts back, unoffended, probably because he doesn't realize how ridiculous he sounds in the first place. Barely twenty-six (he thinks he is, anyway, he thinks he's been in the city long enough) and talking about "when I was young" like that's even a thing.

Maybe the weight of command does that to you.

"I never had a proper bike, not like this, always tractors or motorbikes."

"You're still a kid, you goddamned spring chicken!"

To be entirely honest, McCoy's not that much older than Jim (he's fairly sure he ought to be thirty-three, so that's his story, and he's sticking to it), but he feels so much older - which is why it's so easy to rag on the captain for saying ludicrous shit like 'was a kid.'

"Never had to power yourself, huh?" he eggs. "How's it feel?"

After a moment's careful consideration, Jim responds with the most mature and eloquent of gestures.

He sticks his tongue out at McCoy.

And then he laughs. "It feels both like the best thing ever, and like I'm gonna regret this so much tomorrow when my legs are wet noodles and my everything aches."

"You're telling me," McCoy calls back, straightening up, letting his pace slow down a little as the ground evens out beneath them. "Hope Savannah knows how to operate a can opener by now, 'cause I don't know if I'll be able to get out of bed. She's a smart pup, right?"

"She could probably order pizza for the three of us, by now." Jim is so grateful for the slowly dwindling pace, but he's not about to say that out loud. "She saw me do it enough times."

"You can't let the dog order pizza," Leonard says scornfully, dark eyebrows drawing together as he flashes a quick glance over at Jim. "She'll get extra extra extra sausage."

Jim has... no idea if Bones is being serious or not. "I guess we can't have that, huh?" he calls back. "It'd give her terrible breath. Not to mention, terrible gas."
