The man calmed down and then not only apologized, but asked what he could do to make the situation right. Cal - obviously confused at how to reply, said he'd think about it. Marisol didn't really know either, but offered first her name and a perhaps more tactful response. "I'm Marisol, and what I think Cal here is trying to say is that you really didn't do anything wrong, and there is no need to feel shame or disgrace. You saw someone in danger and tried to help. That is a noble thing."
She smiled and stepped forward so the newcomer would be able to see her and she wasn't talking to his back anymore, but faced Cal. "I do have to apologize though. I got very defensive. This place gets to me. It's odd and I'm not sure I like it here. So eerie...And then with the nightmare trying to hurt the infant..." she shivered and turned to the newcomer. "There was a baby here, and a creature - Cal called it a nightmare...was I think trying to feed on it...I shot it and killed it. The baby isn't here. We think she woke up and isn't in the dream anymore."
Marisol didn't know if the newcomer knew he was in a dream or not, but Cal definitely did. She made the assumption that this person - who seemed more solid than those who could actually be here - did know this.
