Seth seems distracted, almost, though he recovers from it well enough. His withdrawal did only happen a few days ago in the waking world, so it wouldn't be odd to assume he's been having a bit of a rough time. Maybe a relaxing dream like this will do him some good.

"Mm, what can I say?" he answers, pleased to see Seth settle in next to him. Not a whole lot of breathing room between them, but the dream seems to have decided that's the general theme. "So I'm an optimist. And if the Rift is really so big on putting us through the wringer then I will take the silver lining when it comes around, thanks."

He gives the book an appraising look before taking careful note of the page he was on - as if it matters, really, it's not like he can come back to it once he's woken up - and closing it to stow it beneath the chair.

"What, you're saying the Rift does give us actual nice dreams once in a while?" That's certainly news to Daniel, given his past experiences.
