[ He stands there, attentive and quiet when Malleus speaks. Silver may have been right about him being unknowing of anything he'd done- because it's true. Were this still a dream, surely he would have the power to include Lord Lilia in it.
So he listens, quietly, and blinks at the mention of being taken to a world between dreams and reality... To his credit, he doesn't interrupt or react as he did in his journey with Grandfather and Lord Lilia's past selves in their dream.
( So it seems like Malleus was also... taken to a dream against his will. And this may have happened before Lord Lilia's announcement... which means this Malleus is ...
He's not the one who experienced any of that heartbreak... )
There's relief, but now, also concern. Because there's a chance this Malleus could also experience that horror when he returns home.
All the more reason for Silver and him to care as much as they can for him. ]
I... how could there be a power so strong as to take you? To keep our Liege in a Dream Prison...
