Ares is all smiles... and that's Mab! For a moment I don't think she knows me, but the light of recognition jumps into her eyes and she hugs me back. "You have no idea how glad I am to find both of you---"
Mab cuts me off in mid thought, placing herself and her horse between us and... "Iago, you are welcome to join us, but you - I remember you," Realizing she is addressing Benedict, I take a step back, holding Rose tighter to me while placing a hand on my sword hilt. "They will let anyone in here, won't they?" I mutter darkly to Ares, not taking my eyes off Benedict. I am more than a little relieved when Iago joins us greeting both me and Rose, and the dead man slinks off.
"Well, isn't this an interesting day?" I ask the assembled, arching an eyebrow at Ares, about to ask him if anyone else knows they are dreaming, but Rose whimpers again, high pitched and urgent, screwing up her eyes and balling her fists. "Oh, shhhh. shhh, love, I know. I know." I croon, wishing I could soothe her. Where the fuck is her father? How long have we been asleep? How long can a baby last without nourishment?
"We were heading towards the tower." I say miserably, nodding towards my bloodied footed companion. "Does anyone know how to get there?"
