"Mmhmm, dad and I were sleeping. We were so tired we had to nap.", Symlink explained, and their projected tail returned to normal, swishing slowly about. "Hm? How did you two meet?", Neon pondered for a moment, but didn't expect what Symlink said with such a cheerful smile: "Yes, Rhys was in my dream, we were adventuring together!"

Rhys nodded along as Symlink answered their father. Suddenly Rhys looked down and their eyes drooped slightly as they realized the flute was just a thing in the dream adventure and not something real they could keep. But they didn't want to ruin Symlink's cheerful smiling so they forced themself to straighten back up. Waiting to see if this father figure wanted to question them any more or if their friend needed anything else.

"In your dream?", Neon was puzzled as he couldn't see how that was possible. "Mmhm! He used a game device and got in my dream somehow.", Symlink answered in his childish innocence. Neon sized Rhys for a moment before asking them "You don't feel anything strange, right? You are still you and all, right?", genuinely concerned for them too.

Rhys stood there perfectly still once more until Symlink addressed them. They looked down at their hands and feet as they turned them over and bent their joints. Even grasping their long thin tail to check it was still intact. "I don't feel anything different. I'm still the same as before I touched anything in here I think."

Then with a slight bit of nervousness sneaking into their voice they asked further, "Am I going to go back into your dream... game... thing if I go to sleep again?" They didn't usually sleep much but they didn't want to mess anything up.

Neon distinctively sighed in relief, but for that one question Symlink wasn't so sure: "I... I never had someone enter my dreams before.". And to add to that, Neon also spoke up: "Normally, he shouldn't be able to do that. But I think I will keep watch on his sleep and figure out something.", after all if one person who can understand Symlink to a deep level exists, that one is none other than his own father - Neon.

"Ah, yes, dad can look into my data later to see what happened.", Symlink clarified so casually.

Rhys nodded along, content with the answers they were giving. It would probably be ok if they didn't pick up any other random electronics. Plus they could go without sleep too. It should be ok.

They looked between the child and father and smiled. The data thing sounded weird but they seemed nice enough. "It was nice to meet you two and fun to help you in the dream thing Symlink. If you are going to go sleep, should I leave you two alone?"

"It was fun to have someone in there with me, Rhys!", Symlink was surely energetic. After all, he was well rested now. Speaking of... "Oh, we have to head home, there's homework to be done, and sis would surely want to know about this development of my boy.", Neon replied, "But for now, I guess I should say fare well, Rhys."

Rhys nodded. "I understand. Have a good night." And with that they quietly scurried away to do whatever it was they were going to do. Leaving the data duo to head on their way too.

And with that, they would soon leave as well, with Neon continuing to wonder how his son developed such ability, and how to keep it in check to prevent bad things from happening. But as long as nobody got hurt in any way, everything was fine.
