[It's a rather lovely day for flying and it's quickly enough obvious the man is on a ship of some kind, the wind toying with the silver-white hair around the scarred face. After a moment, there's a view of another airship of a different model gaining and then rising up beside the one that Setzer is on.
However without any warning given the second ship suddenly is engulfed by a fiery explosion, causing the scarred man's expression to go from relaxed and pleased to one of shocked disbelief and then horrified as he screams out the name of a certain woman. Shrapnel is flung from the exploding wreck of the other ship and it rips through the ship Setzer is on, causing parts of his own ship to catch fire or in some places explode and it isn't long before he finds himself with the choice of going down with the ship or jumping overboard and praying the fall into the water doesn't kill him. The smoke and heat cause his lungs to burn and he finds himself trapped at the edge of the ship, forced to make a decision soon or it'll be made for him. He backs up against one of the rails to buy perhaps a little more time, but the metal gives away from behind him dumping the man overboard into the sky.
Fortunately for the man, he wakes before his body hits the water below, violet eyes wide and still holding the terror inspired by the events of the nightmare for a good several seconds before he sees two things which catch his attention. The ruined remains of what might have once been a duck and the departing back of a tall man in black accompanied by a rather strange looking feline. Setzer's not certain what had occurred, trying to reassure himself it was only a bad dream...except for the two undeniable facts that he's soaked in sweat and his lungs hurt something fierce as if he's actually been forced to breath in heated smoke-filled air. He lifts a hand to briefly cover his face and calm his nerves before also noting the communicator near by and upon retrieving it, shuts off the feed that he has no memory of ever turning on.]

[And the dream ends? What was all of that? ]
Are… are you alright now? You didn’t really fall like that?
[Video]
I think I will be in due time. [His eyes close for a second or two before opening again, mostly due to the memory of the dream still being rather vivid.]
It certainly felt like I did, but it would appear that everything which happened was nothing but a bad dream--a nightmare you could say.
[And as tired as he feels at the moment, he has no real desire to go back to sleep at anytime soon due to fact that the events of that nightmare seemed to be lingering overlong in his mind's eye.]

[It was so horrible, she did want to help if she could. ]

Thank you for the thought and offer, milady. I think once I find myself something to drink and perhaps a game to take my mind off it, I'll be fine.
[As for the pain of his chest, he throws a bit of caution to the wind and casts the sole remaining magic he possesses in this world while hoping for a losing combination. And fortunately, Fate decides to take pity on him and grant it to him, causing a small heal to be cast which eases the pain in his chest and throat thankfully. It's apparent when he speaks again that something he's done has helped him as his voice is no longer as rough as it had been when he spoke to the mouse.]
Just promise me you'll be careful wherever you are, hm? I'd hate for you to suffer a similar thing.

I will try.
[Avoiding trouble was really the safest option. ]
Do you know what caused that to happen? It looked so real and yet… it couldn’t have been, could it?

[Muttered more to himself than anyone else]
