"Hard truths," she repeats quietly. It makes her think of Gaius Baltar and his cursed time as president of the Fleet. "I can think of a few people who could have used dreams like that. Or at least the forgetting the pants one."
"That's a good idea. I, um... used to do that, actually, years ago. But during the war, my dreams were... dark. Nightmares, really. And even the good dreams were bad because I'd wake up and realize that they weren't true. So I didn't write them down because I wanted to forget them as fast as possible..." She looks away, as if embarrassed, and clears her throat. "But, yeah, that's something I should do now. It'll help."
She takes the last bite of cake, since Loki seems to have had his fill. When she's done, she looks up at him again and smiles shyly. "Thanks for the advice. I missed talking to you."
