Might as well, besides he seems alright

As you ponder his question, and considering he is going to take you to Rin and get you both out of this real trippy dream.

'Might as well, besides Valiant hasn't been so bad, still don't trust him but he's been nice so far, so I'll give him the benefit of doubt' you think to yourself.

"Lead the way your highness", you answered with a mock bow.

Valiant took your humor in stride. "No need for such formalities my dear, that title is rather meaningless outside of White Space, so either Commadore or just Valiant will do, or you can call me Vali for short if you like", he said as he walked towards your house, or at least your dream of it. You move to follow him.

"Why are we going to my house?", you decided to ask out loud.

"Like I said, I linked our minds together, so when we go through that door we will enter into Rin's center of subcontious, into her personal dreamscape", he answered. "By the way, just so your prepared, when we enter into her mind, her thoughts and fantasies may project themselves onto us as yours did to a few miniuts ago. So once we cross through, expect to look different than you are now."

Well that was considerate of him, it also made you wonder what about Rins mind would change your appearace. Then again you barley know her from the ship as you spent most of your time with Elise before your exciting _circumstances. _You try very hard not to think about that, whatever happy and blissful memories spent with her is tainted by the sting of her betrayal.

You try to focus on somthing, anything else that can to focus on, which just happen to be your Valiant dream guide. Seeing him much closer then when back with Targ's bridge, you actually got a better look at him. He was full Elfin, the ears left no doubt of that, but somehow hos smooth handsom face looked familiar to you, despite never seeing him before that moment. For however brief he was in swim thongs, you were able to notice how all his mucles were all in the right places and even now, as you walk behind him, yoh can see and hear his steps to be perfectly coordinated in passion and confidence with no wasted energy. Looking a little higher you noticed high his tight suit pants hugged ass just right to give anyone looking to know just how perfectly shaped his ass is, god this line of thinking is getting you hot again, reing it in and wait till you wake up with Rin first. Besides, your intuition tells you that he wouldn't object in the slightest. The thing that drew your interest the most though is his long hair, unlike ylur own hair hung back and free, his hair was well kept, smooth, and tied in a ponytail as befitting of his professional dress suite. As you look closer you notice that his hair is the exact same shade and color as your own. Granted that could mean anything, but somthing tells you it means somthing and that you need to find out what.

Before you had a chance to raise another question, Valiant reached the front door of your old home and opend it. Instead of the interior of the house as you remembered/ expected to see, you saw a black swirling vortex spin in the middel of the door tha5 looked awfulky like a black hole. Valiant didnt seemed to be bothered by it at all and simply stepped into it and vanished in a flash.

No doubt this little display unerved you (somthing you been feeling ever since you met the men despite his comforting presence and demeaner ironicqlly enough), but still you reminded yourself that Rin was on the other side, and considering what she was willing to do for you it seemed the least you could do for her especially after coming this far. So you take a deep breath, closed your eyes and ran into it. You felt a tingling sensation, then your body felt numb a few moments, and then you felt normal again.

"Ah, there you are", you heard Valiant say. "I understand tranfering minds will take some getting use to but at least we're here."

Taking comfort from that, you open your eyes, ready to behold this new and strange land you landed on.
