[There's a lot of things that he's been trying to sort out since waking up in a creepy cell, but no one had said anything about the vivid dreams so he'd kept them to himself. It just feels like he's been tossed into things and hit the ground running, and so far it had been working fine as he tried to process this situation.
Seeing a face he had figured he'd have no business seeing anywhere else, is effectively like running into a brick wall.
If we meet outside of this city, somehow, say it to me, so I'll know it's you, and I'll know this wasn't a dream. We'll both know, that way. Okay?
It takes him a moment as he fishes through his memories and finally works up the nerve to respond. Anxious fingers make it take a little longer than he normally would, but he's finally satisfied that he's locked down his comm-line.
Even then, he hesitates as he starts second-guessing himself, triple-guessing himself, cursing his typical overthinking, and he's not sure how long the feed's been toggled but he seems startled when he notices it before he forces himself to commit.]
