Hey, check it out. He has expressions other than dry sarcasm and
creepy staring.
“Motorcycle accident. Mangled my legs,” I explain. “They’ve got
me on all kinds of drugs and painkillers which might also
explain my powers firing off without me asking.”
I don’t know why, but I feel like I can tell this man
everything. The fact that he sussed out my darkest secret just
by looking at me probably helps. A small part of me feels bad
that I can tell this stranger anything, but I’m lying to Casper…
…anyways.
“Doctors aren’t being honest with me, either. They say I have
good hopes for recovery, but they really think my odds are
craptastic.”
“Massachusetts General Hospital,” I answer his question. “It’s
the biggest hospital in Boston. Why? Where are you?”
Summoning things sounds… like something someone would do who
used mind-melting magic. Par for the course so far.

"I'm out near MIT. Which means we're not too far from each
other. Which is a good thing to know, as that means you're at
least not projecting into people's dreams around the world," he
mentions.

He starts to point with a finger, and as he does, symbols get
traced along the moon dust. It's the symbol of mercury, if she'd
know of such things, followed by one of venus. A bit of mental
work along with some of the lesser markings around that then
follow might let her realize that the way they're aligned
implies the former working to 'move' the latter, or push it.
"This won't be an immediate, magical recovery. Minor spirits are
bad at that, and I would get in a lot of trouble if I did it
even if they could," he explains to her.
Those words in English then get replaced with something
stranger, as he speaks the ones in High Speech needed to help
guide this spell and attract a spirit powerful enough for this.
A spirit that... is resisting, honestly, he can feel it, but
with a bit of work straining the imago, he forces it to take
hold nonetheless.
A moment later, something appears; she can see it too, since
there's no Twilight state in a dream. It sort of... climbs
through the (moon) air in front of them and lands on the symbols
he'd traced.

They, actually. They almost look like large cats, big fluffy
ones that sparkle with healing energy and carry a soothing aura
about them. But there's a trail of Essence connecting them
together as one creature.
"Fetter to her, for ONLY one night, and help her recover as
quickly as you can," Solomon tells them. They seem to give him a
look, but give a response in affirmation; it's in First Tongue,
though, so it likely sounds like a growl to Lucy.

So his magic involves the planets. Is that a good thing to know?
I have no idea. But I know it. I tuck that away for later, to
make myself sound smart at an opportune moment!
I watch as he summons something into his own dream. A pair of
cats, linked together with some kind of magical magicky magic,
and he commands them to fetter to me.
Do I like the sound of that?
I mean, if it’s going to heal my legs, yes. Yes I do.
“Kitties,” I say aloud, mostly to myself. “What are they?”

The cats wander up to Lucy and start to rub up against her, a
strange harmonic purring resonating against her. She almost
feels better already, like something's looking out for her, and
while it's hard to tell when asleep, it won't be long before her
body starts to react.

"You've heard of stories of pets staying at the side of a sick
person, how a cat purring helps with healing, things like that,
right?" he asks. "This is a spirit, and spirits tend to take the
form of whatever Resonance formed them, as they're born from
concepts in our world. This one likely came from an area where
there was a lot of that, people getting better while a loyal pet
stood by their side," he tries to explain to her. It's more
complicated than that, but that's the basics.
"So, it's going to fetter itself to you. Normally, that's not
something I'd suggest, but my magic makes it so they'll separate
themselves and not try and influence you beyond what I've asked
of them. Since you're in a hospital and they'll thus have a glut
of Resonance to feed on, I doubt it'll care too much," he adds
on a bonus explanation of what's going to happen, "In the
meantime, though, they'll use their abilities to expedite your
natural healing to the point of taking maybe a day or two."

“Oh.”
Yeah, that’s what I’ve got to that explanation. Oh. Sounding
smart will have to happen later, apparently.
“I appreciate it,” I say. “Thank you.”
Pause.
“How can I repay you? I don’t imagine a wizard has much use for
a psychic that works in CPS, but if there’s anything I can do…”
I suddenly feel very useless. He has mind-melting magic and I
have uncontrollable dream-hopping. I can’t summon up eldritch
cats born of retirement homes.
Speaking of, I pet the kitties as they purr, rubbing against me.
“Seriously, though. If you need anything, just ask.”

He smiles in a way that some might call a bit disconcerting.
"Oh, don't worry about it," he says. "You see, you've become my
project now," he informs her.
"While I know a fair deal about various forms of magic a
sleepwalker might delve into, I don't have a lot of direct
experience, chances to study all of the intricacies of it.
Especially when it comes to those involving dreamwalking of
various sorts," he adds on.
"So, we're going to work through it. Find out what triggers it,
how to help you do it more deliberately, or at least have some
idea where you've ended up after doing so, that sort of thing,"
he explains.
There's a slight chuckle, then, though, "I'm not actually going
to force it, of course, I'm not some dark fae you've just formed
a bargain with. But that's actually a good reason why you should
be all for this, because you absolutely can run into dark fae
specifically if you blindly leap through dreams," he informs
her. While he's smiling, he seems largely serious about that
last part.

“Oh,” I say again.
Well. I did say I’d do anything to repay him. I suppose if he
wants to study me… and if I can actually learn to control my
powers? Bonus points.
“This is absolutely the weirdest way a guy has tried to pick me
up, ever,” I smirk.
Pause.
“..Wait did you say dark faeries?”
The crowd goes wild. The bell rung thirty seconds ago. Still,
curiosity keeps wailing on my unconscious body.

That does get a bit of a laugh from him too. "If you continue
down that road I'm going to have to make a 'man of your dreams'
joke and I don't think either of us can take that level of pun
right now," he 'warns' her, amused.
"But yes, dark fairies. I'm not sure we have enough time now to
go over the depths of it, as there are many types. Maybe we can
capture one during one of your lessons, later on," he mentions.
Though that brings up a point, if he does plan to be teaching
her stuff eventually.
"I never did give you MY name, did I? For now, call me Solomon.
Consider that my 'wizard name,' effectively," he explains. "And
while I could magically track you down through annoyingly
complicated means, sometimes the straightforward ways are
better, so if you'd like to give me your number, I should be
able to remember it just fine when I wake up."
She might notice the cats are gone by now. They've more fully
gotten to their work back in the hospital.

“You’re right,” I say with conviction. “I don’t think I can take
that level of pun right now.” I smirk.
I give him my number, cautioning him that I don’t have a phone
right now but I plan on getting one soon.
You know. As soon as I can walk.
Just in case he decides he wants to stop by before I get my
phone, I also give him my address and my hospital room number.
And that is why I didn’t say it was the worst way a guy has ever
tried to pick me up. Because I literally spilled him my life
story, phone number, home address, and god knows what else he’ll
learn by the time this adventure is over.
“...I think I hear my room door opening. Nurses going to wake me
u--”
POOF
I vanish from his dreamspace, and wake up in the hospital bed.
My legs already feel better… is it magic, or is it drugs? Next
time, on Dragon Ball Z…
