Reynir has no idea what he is going to say or do when he actually catches up to Ami; all he knows is that he shouldn't let her out of his sight. He can't assume that she knows anything about navigating the dreamspace, and there could be dangers here. Malevolent spirits, and other monsters, and he isn't going to let her face them alone if they come. So he follows after her, even as the world keeps shifting around them. The forest may be different in the details, but it reminds him of his own world - much moreso than that weird room with the bees or the school.

For one heart-stopping moment he thinks he's lost her entirely when he comes upon the campsite. Then, he hears her voice, reacting to pain, and he comes over quickly, to see her caught on the tent. Her horn has gotten hooked into the material of the tent. She looks... more like herself, now. Apart from the horns and - he sees in a moment - her eyes are a different color. At least they aren't totally empty, like before.

"Here, let me -"

He has a better angle to see the problem and she's all twisted up. Reynir reaches over and, after about a minute's fussing and pulling and twisting, has gotten her disentangled. Once he does, he realizes maybe it would have been smart to say something before he did and quickly blurts:

"Ami, please, just wait. It could be dangerous here, I don't think you should run off on your own."
