He shrugs. "Dunno. Just... you know. If you saw anything..." He shakes his head. "I have strange dreams sometimes."

Chuckling some now, Avalon takes a long drink from his milkshake and then says softly "Dreams are not so much something that defines us, so much as it's our mind and soul's way of.. unwinding. Everyone has strange dreams, Henry. But, I do promise that I will not visit unless I need to."

"Really, there is little in the Dreamtime for me." he then confesses, "I'm too grounded in reality to want to spend much time there. Plus.. I had enough of it growing up. I am content to be here - really here - with you. It makes little sense for me to come to your dreams when I can simply walk across the hall and be with you."

He smiles. "Well... yeah," he agrees. "But sharing dreams... that's kinda cool, isn't it?"

That makes Avalon consider things for a moment, then he nods his head as he says "Yea.. it is pretty cool. Maybe sometime we can plan for it so that you can see what it's like. I've been told that the dreams are especially vivid and real before in the past.. They're no different for me though; I always dream like that."

His milkshake is finished by now, and he goes to get a spoon so he can fish the rest out of the glass like a glutton. "So what's this about playing Rock Band? How did that all come up?" he then asks, smirking.

Henry finishes his shake as well. "We were at breakfast, and Josh admitted that he'd always wanted to sing in front of people. But he's always chickened out. So... I figured Rock Band would help him warm into it."

"Oh brilliant!" replies Avalon as he comes to perch next to Henry, his expression bright and smiling. "I'm totally down - that sounds like fun."

He pauses, then takes on a sheepish expression as he says "I.. ah.. have a dance recital coming up in a few weeks. I was wondering if you guys might like to come, but I wasn't sure if that was your sort of thing.."

Henry looks at Avalon like he's grown another head. "Are you kidding? Of course we'll come."

That just makes Avalon scratch at the back of his head and give a rather half embarrassed little smile. "I wasn't sure that you'd want to come. It's all going to be rather boring.." he then says softly.

Sighing, Avalon flops onto a stool and says, "I'm actually kind of nervous, they have me doing this really hard part and I'm having to play catch up to the rest of the students.. It's been really brutal."

"You're going to do great," Henry replies. "You've been working hard. And I want to support you. And besides, there'll be some really cute people there dancing. I mean, besides you."

Avalon can't help but roll his eyes at Henry, his smile smirking as he replies "Of course you want to go watch the other dancers, Henry. It would be remiss of you to not make sure and check everyone out in their leotards!"

"Yes, and I can rank them on a scale of 1 to 10 on the hotness ranking." He winks. "Of course, you're off the chart."
