[The moment Clive seems to find his senses and calm down is the moment in which Dion reaches out. He claps a hand on the man's shoulder, grateful to feel warm skin beneath his own. It's a telltale sign that Clive yet lived, and that the dream had only been that.
His gaze then shifts to Joshua. Turning from Clive without a word, he stumbles over. He makes it as far as the bed before his body threatens to give out, and instead half sits, half collapses against it. His lance falls by the wayside for the time being, discarded as Dion finds himself desperately searching Joshua's face. Much as he might prefer to feel the signs of life beneath his skin, he'll have to settle for the distance. And if Joshua is up and moving about, it's probably a good sign.
Which... brings Dion soundly back to reality. He realizes that he is half-dressed and now sitting in their room, having thoroughly scared them both from their sleep. Shame creeps up from within him, and though he opens his mouth to try and explain, the words fail him for several seconds. How could he ever justify any of this?]
I- had to be sure. [While he tries to pull himself together mentally, he makes an effort to at least fully sit up against the bed.] That you both yet lived.
