[Nier has yet to experience anything like this. This... sharing of dreams with another. He certainly wouldn't be interested in sharing his dreams with anyone else either if he has any power over it. Not because he has anything to be completely ashamed about (except his poor parenting), but because that's admittedly a part of him that he just doesn't want to share a lot of. Maybe... if the way it all ended was different.
Regardless, nothing about this current situation is affected by the thoughts of his own dream, except that every so often as he's following after some kids who look far too young to be exploring the rocky terrain of a mountain on their own, he's almost certain things flicker in and out of view. Things that probably shouldn't exist there. Things that feel, or almost look familiar to him.
That's not something hard for him to get himself involved in. He's hardly gotten a particularly good look at any of these children, but they can't be much older than a Yonah in her younger years. It'd be silly to think that his fatherly instincts aren't immediately going to spring up. He lifts a hand in an attempt to be as reassuring as possible, though he suspects that a man looking as barbaric as he does may not be the most welcoming sight.
...Even if he is here for good intentions.]
Don't worry about it. I'll go get her.
[Just like that, they're down the way they came and Nier continues along to trail after a young, very determined Tifa. When he manages to get within earshot of her, he raises his voice over the relatively cooler temperature of the mountain's ascent.]
Hey, kid, wait up! You shouldn't be up here!
[He isn't fully certain of why, but it can't be good for a girl her age to be misadventuring here.]
i. he's just gonna play dad to everyone

...His own thoughts, perhaps, affecting this place he's found himself in? He'll have so many questions for Kainé and Nier the next time he sees them both.
"Please, you have to stop her!"
