[Fortescue doesn't look as tired as she should be, but, then again, she's used to not getting much sleep. Comes practically in her job description. She's perched on the end of her bed — Jazz in her lap and regarding the device with a small amount of interest. And though she's wearing a bath robe and warmly covered, jury's out on whether she's wearing anything else.]

Are you tired, Cape? Because you've been running through my dreams all night.

[She allows herself a tiny, tiny smirk for that one.]

No, but... really. I adore you all, but a lady needs some private time once in a while.

[She shrugs her shoulders lightly, grin tapering off to a gentle smile.]

I'm all right. I mean, it's definitely odd. But it's no stranger than anything else I've been through. What about you, love?

I'm dealing.

[Like most hunters, she opts for fewer words, even though there's a lot more to it. Most of the dreams are ones she's not too keen to share, but people are walking into them anyway like there's nothing to it. Nothing's sacred here.]

Some dreams are better than others. Some of 'em only hurt when they end, you know? But some, you just don't feel like sharing. Too bad we don't get a choice in the matter.

Sometimes your thoughts just need to be your own.

[Fortescue knows that one entirely. She attempts to lighten the subject a little.]

It's a shame that tinfoil hats don't work.

[That earns an appreciative smile in reply.]

I'd be stocking up if they did. Dean might have an idea about how to help keeping everyone's dreams from overlapping, though. Might be worth something?

Then I hope it pans out, and that he feels like sharing.

If it does, I'm sure he will. If hex bags turn out to be a viable solution, then we'll make as many as we can find the supplies for.

[She cocks her head curiously.]

What goes into a hex bag?

It varies. It's not really my area of expertise, but different witches have different reagents they like to use. I think the spells themselves dictate some of what needs to go into it, too. A lot of them are used for harmful spells, but they can be used to ward against harmful magic or to hide people, as well. We're looking at the warding kind.

[blackmagus]

Interesting. Your magic sounds very different from the kind I'm used to.

[You could ward against certain kinds of magic, but there wasn't a singular defense against all of them.]

I'll keep my fingers crossed, shall I?
