[Kavinsky nodded like that made perfect sense. In reality, it mostly did. He didn't know how whatever Adam could do worked and he wasn't eager for all the gritty details right now, so simplifying it was good enough. He just made mental notes to ask about things like what it was Adam was doing and what the ley line was at a later date.]
Would you have still stepped in if you'd known it was me?
[That felt more important than what Adam was doing or even his potential flirting and the way that he flushed. Under better circumstances, Kavinsky would have latched onto that, teased him about it, flirted back. Maybe he was still flirting, in his own way, though it was more serious. He wasn't smiling. He didn't even smirk. His eyes were intense and he was probably standing too close to Adam but Kavinsky had never been big about personal space.]
What does it cost you to make it quieter?
[Everything cost something, didn't it? Even the dreaming. Especially the dreaming. There was always a price. If Adam had found him in a different dream, this would probably be going completely differently. But Kavinsky was raw edges and unprepared. The cat was out of the bag and couldn't be put back in but Adam Parrish knowing he was a dreamer felt like a small thing to worry about right now.]
