It was familiar. The way the air wrapped around her feet and pulled her forward, embracing her wholly beneath the raptures of her subconscious. She'd grown used to the way the dreams carried her away—looked forward to it, really. It was a momentary reprieve from reality, a getaway that allowed her to be free. Without implication, without fault, without consequence. Even without the responsibility of faith, if she so wished it.

This dream was no different, startling again the bloom of warmth within her chest as she crossed the terrain with nimble steps. He was there, a faded memory cast upon the ground. Bundled tightly within the warmth of the season's hum of sun, he did not hear her—did not see her, either. How long had it been? Would he even remember her?

Patient steps disguised her eagerness as she approached, nose dipped to press it against the soft, russet fur of his spine. And his name, uttered beneath the hush of his dreams within dreams, and thick with her accent, fell from her lips. A smile, too, “Rafferty?”

It was a dream, surely, preened and primed from the makings of desires even Twyla did not know. She had not forgotten the soft Irishman, how could she? But she did not so soon expect him in a land where she wandered, a land untouched by the memories—however few—the two had made. She was giddy, perhaps not so evidently, but giddy as she took him in.

“Rafferty here? How?” She wondered curiously, shifting into a delicate sit just a few spaces before him. How had she conjured him so realistically, so perfectly? Would she remember any of this, remember the memory of him now? So many questions, so little details, so little explanations. Her star had not explained anything of certainty.

The woman's paw played with the furs of his tail mindlessly, eyes drifting across his fervently. Could he explain something, anything, to her?
