This happens before Hearth, Karma and Oneiro visit Blotched

"Hey Ink, Can.. I talk to you?" a voice called, Ink blinked looking up from the coding he was doing.

He needed to fix this, shielding was not good enough.

How could he be a protector, when he still hadn't fixed the backlash of damage the time kid did to his multiverse.

Instantly he wanted to escape, Dream had that look again.

"Sure Dream, whats up?" he asked, putting out his lets be best buds smile and aura.

"I was wondering, if you'd like to go out.. for a drink. You know teatale, with me," Dream asked shyly.

Teatale, a place he'd created for his dad when he visited. Hearth had enjoyed it immensely last visit, a bit stressed due to some Chaos404 guy but thrilled to bits about it.

Ink had not created it for his friend to ask him for Dates, and yes he thought Dream as a friend. Ink did not date, while he was a soulled Ink he had no such romantic urges.

He remembered dad checking his codes when he was younger, he was an opposite of an eternal babybones in many ways a child stuck in adult bones. He could function, but the thought of such adult things disgusted him. If he had his way he'd be able to have a body of an age that suited his soul, and go live with dad on his island he'd been shown images of.

He wanted to play in the winter area, climb trees and watch animals graze for hours.

He wanted to meet this Karma and Oneiro, he wanted.. he wanted... he wanted to sleep on dads lap like eh had when dad could stay longer and he was younger.

Stupid timekid ruined so many things.

That was his dream, to live with dad.

Not.. this.

Where was Blue when he needed them! They kept Dream away when they got in this mode.

"Sorry, I'm super busy Dream. And then I have to head home to work on things," Ink chirped warmly, looks like he was out of luck on the Blue Front.

"Oh, I'll stop by later," Dream said happily not getting the clue Ink had no interest at all, he had even said he had no interest right to there face before.

Stop being so dense Dream.

Shoot... Dream had access to the doodlesphere.

Right.. time to move his home again.

Now, how would he hide a brand new spanking AU from everyone for privacy. Well maybe not Blue, Blue was awesome.
