Summary
The children of Zern do not dream. They are not made capable of it, they do not need it, if they are left bereft of hearts they merely stand silent and sentinel until such an organ-machine is replaced. Torse is no different - he does not dream. Not technically.
The children of Zern can move a little without their hearts, for merely a few moments after the removal. Torse had told this to the crew of the Zephyr, upon meeting them.
He had not told them other things; due to some unknown cruelty, even disanimate, the children of Zern can hear. They can feel. They retain some distant awareness of light and dark, though not true sight. Forever doomed to be on the outside of a moving world, to know exactly what they are missing. Torse can distantly hear the crew of the Zephyr partying, drinking, without him. Ignore that he cannot drink - ignore that he fears what his iron heart would have him do - ignore that were he there, he would likely leave, too much noise and too many social rules to follow. Allow him some slight misery. Currently he has little else.
