(Ahhh I'm so sorry I completely lost this)

Finn nodded, his face and eyes filled with concern. "Are you worried?" The question was gentle, as he didn't want to bother her any further. She'd had enough questions from her parents.

Ireth thought about the question, then shrugged. "I guess. I mean, wouldn't you? But I've seen so many visions that end in something bad that I'm used to it."

Finn nodded, reaching out to stroke Asta. "Have the bad things always come true?" He searched his memory for other vision that had shaken Ireth, and how many times she'd been hurt in the last years.

Ireth took a shaky breath, but hoped it wasn't noticable."Yeah, always." She stroked Silvernose's nose. "Most of the time, they haven't happened to me though."

Finn nodded, moving to grab a bucket of fish and place it in front of Silvernose. The dragons were hungry, as always.

Ireth's breath remained slightly shaky. "a few visions have been about you though," She said softly.

Finn stiffened, his back to Ireth. He turned slowly putting down the bucket. "They… what were they?" It was barely a whisper. He was afraid of what she would say, but now a part of him needed to know.

Ireth shook her head. "I shouldn't tell you. It's… Not really my place. Some of them came true. Some of them haven't happened yet."

Finn's eyebrows went up, and he tried not to be surprised. Visions of him, that he hadn't known about, had come true? And no one had ever thought to tell him? "And I never knew about them." He did his best not to accuse her, but a part of him thought she was guilty.

"To be fair, I haven't told anyone about them," Ireth replied, picking up a large drumstick and feeding it to Silvernose. "Some of them involve me… So I haven't had the courage to speak up about them."

Finn cocked his head at her. Ireth had always seemed the most confident person in the world to him. "Have you had these visions all your life?"

"Um, as long as I can remember. I don't know if I has them when I was a kid, but as far back as I can remember I've been having them. I knew about you long before I actually met you because of them."

Finn lifted his gaze to meet hers. "And… how much do you know of the future?" He kept his voice steady as he scratched lines in the straw with the heel of his boot.

Ireth was hesitant. "I… I dont know if you want to hear that." In reality, she'd seen her whole life at intervals in her dreams, all of it involving Finn in some way.

Finn took a step towards her. "I do. You shouldn't be dealing with the future by yourself." Inside, he was equal parts worried about her, and afraid of what she would say. But part of him needed to know.

Ireth looked at him, still hesitant. "I don't know If I'm ready to tell you what's going to happen in the future. It's hard enough for me to accept it, let alone tell someone it."

Finn leaned against Asta. "But it could be my future. The future isn't a thing anyone should have to themselves, and it can't be good for you to deal with that kind of pressure."

"What if I'm afraid of the future?!" Ireth yelled suddenly. She then drew away. "Look, I don't want to tell you what's in my visions. That's something that I'd rather keep to myself."

Finn nodded slowly. "It's alright. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried to pressure you into it." Of course she was afraid of the future. Who wouldn't be?

"Maybe I'll tell you when I'm ready. Maybe I won't. Either way, you'll find out." She closed her eyes as she rested her forehead against Silvernose's.

Finn gave a slow nod. He couldn't quite be annoyed with her, he was just… frustrated. But she had a point- the future would be here before he knew it.

Silvernose nudged her. "I…I'm going for a fly, if you want to come?" She said softly to Finn, trying to ease the tension.

He looked up quickly, his eyes brightening as he nodded. "Sure. Any ideas for where?" He walked over to Asta's side and jumped up quickly.

She shook her head. "No. Let's just fly where the wind takes us." Flying was always her refuge, and she needed a place to escape right now.

A small smile slid onto Fin's face, settling himself on Asta's scaled back. "Let's go."
