For his part. Arno hasn't exactly experienced much of the Dreaming beyond what holds him here, and he'd admit to being curious about what lays ahead of it. 'Too complicated' is for this conversation, actually, not the Dreaming itself, or what it might show them or do. That's something that he hasn't quite found the courage to mess around in, yet, or, maybe it's not cowardice holding him back but a sense of preservation he can't exactly recognize just now.
He shrugs at the eyebrow, grinning a a little. "Seemed the best island to work with. I don't think we're much in the way of Ilyria just now, beautiful skilled swordswomen in trousers surplus we have going on or not."
And, then, Arno grew serious. When it came to his abilities, and things related to the Creed, he COULD take those things seriously. He wanted to take them seriously, even away from them, in spite of, maybe more because of what he knew had happened to his city now. He couldn't let frivolity rule when it came to things of that nature, not now. He nodded, as she brought that up.
"I can indeed. If I look at someone, in a particular way, using my...other sense, I can see if they have secrets, if they're hiding something, if an object is of interest too. I can't compel the truth from anyone, but I certainly have ways of...encouraging speech if that's necessary. NOT always as brutal as that sounds." He felt the explanation, since he hadn't given it before, was needed now.
As for Shay, that depends on the time of day. I'd guess he's checking things over on his Morrigan, if you'd not mind a quick trip to where she's docked. I have a shortcut."
The fact that Arno has a shortcut is probably worrying, if you're Shay, but in this case, it could be a good thing. "Interested in a bit of climbing?"
