Now that things had slowed down Marcus began to absorb what was happening The ceilings were high and vaulted Old chandeliers with cobwebs swishing and dangling from each dusty golden arch Eternally young Nightmares Beautiful to the human eye Until of course You got too close He realized that here, fairy tale rules applied. Things were twisted and wonderful at the same time Than again, such was humanity Wasn’t it? He looked at the King’s bright orange eyes, and was entrapped in them. A smoldering fire that seemed as if it burned and raged and consumed all that dared to cross it, or god forbid, release it. Dark hair…ink, it reminded him of ink. “Well…” He paused, those eyes were interrogating…worse than a truth serum to be quite honest, “There…isn’t exactly anything wrong with them,” A chuckle, “In fact, many…would find it an improvement…” “But then---“ He added hastily, “Human’s have always been selfish, I mean---“ He took a deep breath, “I’ve never really been for the idea, you see, human beings work out a lot of their subconscious trauma and problems through their dreams and the process of sleeping…nightmares and dreams are very…necessary…and----“ He ran a hand through his scruffy professor hair, “Well, in laymen’s terms…people have been taking drugs…in order to control their dreams while they sleep.” He cast his eyes away, nervously…not quite being able to cope with this one…especially since he might be liable to get very angry at any moment…

It took him a moment to understand the man's fragmented speech. It wasn't exactly fear, either, hovering in the air, but jittered spikes of nerves-- not really conducive to eat, but close enough to fear that Jack could feel it, be distracted by it.
The last sentence sank in, and his eyes narrowed. Humans were controlling their sleep? The human was right-- dreams, natural and freeborn, were necessary for a healthy, mortal psyche, but the effect might not be noticeable for years...
A muttered oath slipped through his lips.
"Okay," he said, steepling his fingers together and pressing them to his mouth. "Let me... First of all. How did you get here?"
