Henry Hyde was having some fast dream, about strange trees enveloping him in their embrace and talking to him. Talking, ever talking...He realized with a start that he it was still pretty early. That he didn't have much sleep, and that somebody was knocking on his door. "What," Henry growled. He was not sure how he felt about the twisting trees and their murmurs, but he needed some damn sleep. He almost apologized, remembering that Rena must have been right there.

He had not detected her at first, forgot about her presence, possibly even considered her a pleasant dream. Who could blame him though when even his eyes refused to open, and his mind refused to work. "What now," Henry repeated, approaching the door. Opening it, he started at the man on the other side. "Is it an urgent call, Poole? I hope it is, for otherwise, I am going back to sleep!" he exclaimed but stopped himself from shutting the door again as was his instinct.
