Galen starts to feel a little weird, watching her like this, and is about to go when he notices the cat. Not only that, but the cat is looking his way -- he'd almost say it's looking at him, even though he isn't visible. Dream elements don't usually do that; they're usually passive, only react to the dreamer, so those eyes are starting to weird him out.

He pulls out of the doorframe, backs down the hall a little, then stops. This doesn't seem like a nightmare, at least, but once again, he can't seem to pull out of this dream, and he has no fucking clue why.

So, not sure what else to do, Galen makes sure he's visible, then shuffles down the hallway far enough that he can reach the open parlor door and, somewhat awkwardly, knock. Then he peeks his head in.

"Uh, hey. Bad time?"
