[L knows little of truly "sweet creatures"; animals are supposed to have a natural distrust for duplicity in humans, and L knows himself well enough to feel unease around any barking dog that can raise the alarm and alert others to everything terrible about him, even if it's only presented vaguely and broadly. He half-raises a spindly hand, not quite extending his fingers toward the worm even as Myr does with affection and confidence.

If it feels affection toward Myr, after all, it might feel protectiveness. Ergo, L might be left with a bloody stump for daring to come this close, even in a dream.]

From what I understand, dream-walking has always been of interest to witches. As far as the risks, the way it was explained to me... if you were a hungry mouse, in the dwelling place of a human, there's an ideal way to be: undetected. At least, that's the obvious and expected answer, but it isn't the only one. A mouse could also be welcome... invited, with its own place to sleep and its food provided, but at the mercy of its host to roam or be relegated to a cage. Both have their advantages and drawbacks... it is a violation to enter a dream without permission if you can manage it, but once you have, there's more freedom to explore. It isn't a violation to enter a dream with permission, but you may be restricted access to all that you're interested in by a knowing party. So...

[A pause. It's a lot of odd information, presented in a dream and a dreamlike fashion to match, perhaps.]

Ideally, you'd need to be a mouse that is not only welcome, but allowed to go anywhere you'd like, with the cats shut in a crate by your host.
