“A weird feeling,” Five repeats slowly. There’s a moment where it appears, perhaps rightly so, that Klaus’ brother will turn a cheek and dismiss the story. Maybe it’s his deadpan stare, the way the words seem to roll off of him like Teflon, because reaching through all of his doubt and suspicion can sometimes be impossible — Five takes a few bites of his peanut butter cookie, however, carefully working his way through the details before he tries to respond.

Maybe it’s Claire’s presence, wide-eyed and innocent beside him. Maybe it’s his lighter mood from making cookies with a houseful of family, those he loves and those who love him. Whatever circumstance flips fortune favorably over to Klaus’ side, Five leans forward on the table, resting his palms and forearms against the surface.

“So you’re saying this felt like a memory of some kind? And you said this isn’t the first time you’ve had these dreams?” Five does, however, sigh to himself. “Just...ignore the elephants, Klaus, I’m talking about us in another world.”

He levels a narrow stare at his brother, but it isn’t his usual peeved expression — easy to tell with how much he employs it. Instead, this is the sort of sharp, calculating stare that he uses most often during work hours; all of those days spent teaching space and time theory, poring over math equations and the multi-splintering possibilities of what was, what could be.
