Uh....oh, I don't know.

[Lmao, he trapped himself by lying about just watching. Though Bruno certainly has done that plenty of times, just to see what's going on with the family. Being a Madrigal means that you're never in the Dream Sphere alone - at least, it does if you aren't Bruno - so it's not like his intervention was ever needed. It never really was.]

I don't - usually get involved if people have it handled.

[i_peace]

Hmm... I guess if they have everything handled...

[Omen is so lucky that Tycoon is willing to just let sleeping dogs lie]

It seems sort of lonely though. Maybe it's different elsewhere - I never really looked into Dreamer stuff before awakening - but it seemed like everyone here is always willing to help... I just sort of assumed...

[predecir]

W-well, it's not THAT different in other places!

[Even if Tycoon doesn't have any idea where Omen's from exactly (probably???), he doesn't like feeling that he's giving home a bad name.]

It's just - I usually keep to myself.

[i_peace]

[from a Spanish country! ... Is about all he figures. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the geographical details are a little fuzzy to him]

Oh-! I see...? [/unsure] Um... Well, it still sounds a little lonely.

[though it sort of suits their currently dilapidated surroundings]

[predecir]

Mmmm. It is what it is.

[He just couldn't cut it.]

[i_peace]

[oh no, the mood is dropping, what to do-??]

But you were a huge help here! We might have been able to beat it if we hit the monster long enough, but knowing where it's weak point was helped a lot!

[Actually, that brings up a good point I'm so sorry, Bruno]

... How did you know where it's weak spot was...?

[predecir]

Oh. Uhhhhh...

[He'd been just about to say something about how they almost certainly would have beaten it eventually even without that tip - like, surely they would have? But then suddenly that's not the topic anymore, and he's caught off-guard.]

That's. Just. Something I can do. With weak points!

[boy he hopes he gets the right prophecies in the future to keep that up]

[i_peace]

[even if Omen had managed to get out his comment about how the team would have won eventually, Tycoon would insist that Omen's participation mattered(!!) Such is the way of a natural optimist]

... Is it?

[he seems a little dubious about it]

[predecir]

[..........]

Yeeeeeeees?

[i_peace]

...

[the look on his face says he doesn't quite believe Omen]

Really...?

[predecir]

[.........]

I don't know, maybe???

[He's not used to pushback! And he's sort of a bad liar anyway, when actually confronted!]

[i_peace]

[Tycoon stares at Omen a moment longer before sighing. He doesn't know why the other Dreamer is acting so suspicious but he mumbles quietly to himself;] There's probably some reason or another.

[before he smiles a little cheerfully and a lot awkwardly] Well, it helped us a lot and that's the important part.

We'll just have to figure out some other way to fix the city...

[predecir]

R-right...

[God this is stressful! He was totally right to avoid people after that fight!]

A-anyway. I'll, uh...leave you to it...wait, what are you doing? [He wants to leave but he knows he shouldn't ditch the kid when there's so many Torments around!]

[i_peace]

Hm? I'm patrolling. [he says this very matter of fact-ly]

Since there are researchers who can't go into the Dream Sphere, I'm keeping an eye out for any changes and eliminating the remaining Torments around here. [an awkward shuffle] It would be pretty bad if they managed to gather up and form a Nightmare.

[predecir]

Y-yeah, that's true.

[Well. He's not a newbie like that other kid, right? Maybe he can handle it! Or maybe Bruno can just stick around nearby and hide in the shadows like he used to do. It's...probably a policy he should try to get back to.]

Well. I'll leave you to it, then.

[i_peace]

[Tycoon nods then hesitates a moment. It might be partly due to nerves but... More likely than not, it's him worrying about pushing someone too hard]

Um... If you see anything, don't hesitate to reach out to let someone know! The Dream Sphere is such a strange place... We could use all the help we can get.

[predecir]

H-heh. Yeah.

[With that, he slinks off. He'll keep an eye out, but - help's something he gives when other people need it. He doesn't get it himself.]
