@tea
Another loud bang was heard as Dreamer hit himself, yet again, into something wooden. Probably another chair or table he guessed as he slowly used his hands to feel around what seemed like an endless smooth table. A few minutes earlier he thought it would be smart to start teaching himself Braille just in case of anything and set himself up in the common room in the West wing with books on the subject surrounding him. All he could remember, as he retraced his steps, was taking off his amulet and setting it down for one second to see if he could recall the few letters of the alphabet before trying to feel for it and then panicking when he realized that he had indeed misplaced it
So now here he was, attempting to feel around and maybe have some luck in finding it, or he'd have to resort to help, which he begrudgingly agreed was the last thing he wanted to do. He didn't want Astrael babying him for the rest of his life or anyone else, he would work this out himself if it was the last thing he would do.
He stood up and blindly looked around, hoping just a little that he could find someone that maybe could give him a clue, of where his missing amulet was. Hesitantly, he called out, " h-hello?... Is anyone else in this room?".

Tea had slept on many couches in his life, all of which had been too small to accommodate his rather long body. Usually his legs were left dangling over one arm while his head rested against the other. This one couch, one singular couch, was different.
He actually fit on it.
So he had been asleep for a time, tea bag resting on his tongue as he allowed the silence of the daytime in a manor full of semi-nocturnal beings lull him to sleep. That is, until the cry reached his ears.
Then he sat up, body fully alert. "What's wrong?" Tea asked as the tea bag fell out of his mouth. His head started to clear and suddenly . . . he half expected a Toy to respond to him. Perhaps even a Master.
But he was in Tilä. In the familiar west common room. Those days were long behind him. Perhaps he'd merely imagined the call for help.

Just as he was ready to move around the table and head outside for help, he heard a reply which startled him a little as he wasn't really expecting a response. He gave himself a moment to remember the arrangement of the room before losing his sight and assumed that whoever it was must have been coming in the direction where the cushion seats and couch were located. None the less he replied back still a skeptical of the voice, " uh... I was wondering if someone can hel- I mean assist me in looking for something...". He hoped a little that he wasn't finally starting to lose it and just making up the voice he just heard.

Tea actually jumped and turned quickly towards the person responding. It was . . . a kid. No lie, a real . . . a kid. Significantly younger than just about everyone Tea knew.
And he looked to have fumbled about until he was beyond frustrated with himself.
Plucking up the tea bag and setting it aside, Tea asked, "What are you looking for?" Sliding off the couch slowly, he got to his feet before he could adjust. He nearly stumbled and fell back over. He'd been out for far too long to just get up and start moving. Shaking his head, he looked back at the younger cultist and squinted. He noted the way his eyes didn't seem to focus on what be was looking at. He also recognized his face. "You are Dreamer? Right?" He hoped he had gotten the name right.
At the same time, he really hoped he was wrong.

" I'm looking for my amulet, I misplaced somewhere here and I can't seem to find it" he informed as he listened carefully to the voice. It wasn't anyone he has ever met, or recall he's ever interacted with. " Yeah, I'm Dreamer." He paused for a moment then tried focusing back on the voice, " uh, how do you know who I am? I don't believe I recognize your voice from anywhere." His expression showing his confusion as he used his hands to find the edge of the table and start walking around the table and slowly toward the first. He stopped at a good distance apart from the stranger, just for safety measures.

Tea hesitated, throat closing at first. He'd researched this kid. He closed his eyes against the onslaught of memories that cropped up from that time. With a stuttered breath, he answered, "Call me Tea. Now let's find your amulet. Know what it looks like?" He started moving around the room, deciding against addressing the other's question of how he'd known him. Tea didn't know him well. He was just an outsider.
And outsider who had gathered all the information available to him on several cultists who remained vulnerable to him still. Some even moreso.

The boy was still for a moment, very still as he looked down to the floor. His body language became tense and closed off, with a small voice he responded, " ... You're Tea?". He can only guessed that the other male was doing the same thing he was.
Recalling every single moment of the whole mess that required him to have seen so much red. Scenes flashed through his mind very rapidly of claimed friends and tortured familiars. Bringing himself back to the present his eyes looked up at him, a bit off its target, but becoming serious. He brushed it off for the moment, his amulet was more important than his personal issues
With that he used his hands to describe his missing amulet, " it's outer shell is a navy blue with a lighter baby blue stone in the middle." He let his hands of the table to indicate the size, his index finger and thumb stretched out, " It's about this big." He paused for a moment before adding "Last I remember, I set it down amongst my books."

Tea noted his tenseness. Oh no, he thought. Dreamer . . . he recognized him. That was . . . beyond difficult to deal with.
But the other needed his help more than Tea needed to have a breakdown over the sensitivity of the subject of who he was.
Moving over to the table, allowing his footfalls to fall a bit louder than typical so Dreamer could easily locate him, Tea started searching amongst the books. "Where have you already checked?" He lifted manuscripts and copies to look under them, eyeing the rest of the table just in case it had simply slid elsewhere and away. Perhaps it had been knocked off the table altogether.

He listened into his footstep and faces toward him. Very awkwardly he motioned with his hands his work area where books and papers we're lazily scattered around. " I've checked only this area, where all my work is. Can't really check anywhere else without hitting myself".
Trying hard to cover up any bitterness towards the man. After all he was attempting to assist him. Slowly, he felt around books and papers and moving them and showing how he couldn't feel his amulet there.
" I can't feel it on the table, so perhaps it's on the floor? Or underneath somewhere I can't reach." He stated as he sighed and mindlessly fidgeted with on of the books on the table.

Tea bristled at the emotional backlash from the other. Getting on the floor, he started to search under the table. "Blue you said?" A blue amulet. He was looking for a blue amulet. Keeping his eyes peeled, he searched under the chairs and table. If Dreamer only checked the table, maybe he should check that last.
At the same time, he was trying not to think of how . . . unsettled Dreamer was at his presence. He had a suspicion . . . he didn't want to entertain it. It . . . it hurt too much.

"Yeah, baby blue. Well actually its got different shades of blue." He replied as he thought about it. Perhaps he might have been checking the same table and not other. He still got a little confused when he took of the amulet for just a moment and having his amulet off for more was literally hell in a sense he wasn't sure about anything.
".. I might have not checked the other tables because honestly I can't tell what's a new or not, it all feels the same." He added on in embrassment or not mention that portion earlier. Maybe the other would have found his amulet quicker but then again if he hadn't been capture during THAT whole mess he wouldn't have to go through this in the first place.
He closed his eyes and breathed softly, willing his inner turmoil and helplessness away quickly. Again, this would have to wait for later or at least after he was not in the presence of the other cultist. He didn't want to him to think he held aggression against him, although he did a little in a way.
He wished this could be easier for him and for the other cultist in the room, it wasn't fair really. Not at all.

Tea continued to search under the larger table before moving to other surfaces in the room. He didn't really have any luck so far, but he still tried. It was when he slid his hand under one of the other desks that it touched on something that matched Dreamer's description. Pulling it out, he held it fast and stood back up slowly. "I think I found it." He had also found that the other was severely embittered. He almost hesitated to approach, but did so anyway. Moving over to him, he asked, "Hold out your hand so I can place it in your palm?" That way he didn't have to touch the other. He really didn't want to make Dreamer any more uncomfortable, and he didn't want to be hit in the face by the blunt force of the cultist's emotions.

He was brought back into his situation and out of his bitter emotions as he was informed that he had found his amulet. " You found it?" He asked hopefully. Doing as he was told he stuck out his hands. When feeling the stone in his hands he brought it closer to him, blank eyes staring down at his cupped hands. He let his thumb rub over the amulet before smiling and grabbing it but the string he had back for it so he could wear it. He bowed his head slightly as he placed the amulet around his neck. Lifting his head up back he blinked his eye a few time, letting the stone work its magic, letting the color in his only visible eye pour back in.
With his vision back he finally manage to keep a clear focus on the man in front of him, sort of. He was much taller than he expected but wasn't all surprised. His emotions were clearly written on his face, he rubbed his arm a little, embrassed about his minor bitterness towards the other cultist.
" Thanks for the help and.. Uh... Sorry about the bad vibes I was probably giving you." He apologized nervously. Without his vision the knight had a habit of getting into really bad moods.

The change in the smaller cultist was visible, and Tea watched as his eye shifted from blind to focused. It focused on him, and his back stiffened. Dropping his hands, he fought not to fidget nervously at making eye contact with the younger.
Tea shook his head. "No need to apologize." Dreamer probably had a very good reason to be upset. He should go, he thought to himself. His purpose had been fulfilled. But he still felt the need to ask, "Is there anything else I can help you with?" In the event Dreamer did need something else, he didn't want to abandon him. He almost wanted to ask why he was so upset.
But then again, he had a feeling he already knew the answer.

The tension on the taller cultist was absolutely easily to see. The way his eyes shifted away from him and down to his posture gave him away. Once upon he had been able to see and that included looking at others body language carefully. It was something he had to learn when training as a knight in case of a surprise attack or what not. In situation like this, it helped with finding out a solution. Hopefully not just to his but maybe of his own
" I think I should ask you. " he cautiously responded, watching closely at his actions. ".. I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything but you seem pretty tense."
Taking a calm breath, he let himself smiling warmly at Tea before moving his hands, motioning toward the couches and seats before adding, " You've helped me out today and I think it would only seem fair if maybe I could help you out, even if it might not seem a lot, perhaps I can easy your worries just a little?" The last part was spoken with much hope in it.
Now all he could hope for is some good to come from a chat and maybe, both of them could let some of the past go, even if it were little.
