This is My Island in the Sun [Open to All]

The Rift wouldn't say it's sorry for the fit it threw the other day, because the Rift never needs to apologize. It is (mostly) perfect, and all of its decisions are well reasoned and just. Obviously. But perhaps it has fallen into a bit of a post-tantrum sulk, because this dream is milder than one might expect. In fact, it's downright nice.

The dreamers will find themselves in an archipelago of small islands - most only a few acres in size - connected by narrow strips of sand or pebbles. The surrounding waters are calm. Little waves lap against the shorelines, and no rising tide will cut the islands off from one another. The islands themselves seem to have been lifted from every climate zone on Earth and several from beyond. Some are tropical, some colder and home to hardy conifers, some mossy and boulder-strewn, some covered in multicolored sand and odd, coral-like trees.

Most of the islands boast some kind of manmade or otherwise non-native structure, be it as small as a bench or as large as a pavilion, though there are no houses or shops to be seen. It's more like parkland, just civilized enough for a nice picnic. Some of the islands even have little grills, and a sufficiently motivated dreamer might be able to rustle up some hot dog or burger fixings if they poke around a bit.

And they'll have an extra pair of eyes to help with their searching, because their beloved dæmons have returnedagain. Or perhaps they're being introduced for the first time. Regardless, it's the bi-annual dæmon dream party!

"I'm sure," he says icily, the arc of his hand as it falls to his side communicating a disparaging, exasperated dismissal. "Y'fucking happy?"

Yuri's mouth sets in a perturbed line as he lets out a sigh through his nose. He's pretty sure it's not unreasonable to want to know at least a few details when someone involved in the overthrow of a massive government organization tells you they caused (witnessed?) someone's death in the process, but yeah, he kind of feels like a jerk now. "No," he mutters, then adds another awkward, "Sorry."

"Good." He severs the word with a particularly satisfying click of teeth and, without even the barest perfunctory tilt of a chin, pivots neatly to make his departure. Arista lingers for only a hair longer, eyes searching and suspicious, before stepping neatly to join her counterpart as they peel swiftly away.

What the hell even was this conversation? Boy and dog watch the pair go, and after wiping sweaty palms on his jeans Yuri turns to go off the other way. He can't imagine just sitting back down and chilling out in a beach chair, but maybe they'll find some other island with less cantankerous inhabitants to take their mind off the problem of his missing brother.
