I would give you a gift in return, Hob.

[ as Hob drops his hands from Dream's shoulders, only then does he start to shrug the blanket off, gathering it in his hands. he looks thoughtful as he does, like he's considering what would be appropriate.

then, just for a moment, his hands still, and he looks back to Hob's face confidently; he's thought of something to give him. ]


But to give it to you, I would require something of yours.

[ it would not change his mind now that he's decided on it, no. ]

Some bauble or trinket that you would not mind parting with.

[ he takes it, laying the blanket on the back of his chair for now, his thumb rubbing it while he holds it in his palm. ]

Yes. You've held this while in both focus and contemplation, infusing it with your thoughts.

[ his other hand closes over the badge, covering it completely. Morpheus says ... something ... and it feels like it's something Hob should know, like if he listens more closely he can parse the meaning of it. before he can catch it though, Morpheus's hands separate, now holding a chain with a pendant hanging from it. the pendant has a design of a yew tree in the center surrounded by some sort of wording that's difficult to read? or to understand? translate?

Morpheus holds it out to Hob. ]

"Standing the test of time."

[ he drops his hands once Hob takes the necklace. ]

It will allow me to locate you, should you be in danger. If you are ever in need, hold the pendant with your hand, and call for me. I will come to you.

[ he watches Hob put it on, only his eyes moving as they flick up as it goes over his head then down as it settles against Hob's chest. he gives a subtle nod when he sees it there. ]

I would ask that you keep its purpose to yourself, of course.

[ as he holds it, Dream's posture straightens a little more, like something just caught his attention. his eyes remain fixed on Hob's though. ]

Ah ... yes. Perhaps it would be best that he was made aware of its presence rather than finding my influence on you by his own power.

Not as such, but as close as we are in this moment, I am sensitive to your focus on it while being held. A different sensation to that than if you had actually called for me but felt nonetheless.

[ then Dream's eyes flick down to the pendant in his hands briefly, then even more briefly catch Hob's eyes before focusing back on the necklace. like he's suddenly hesitant about something. ]

Was he accepting of the other ... incident? I presumed as much, only you had never said after you went to explain.

I see. Was that the source of his jealousy?
hypnagothic: (16134267)

[personal profile] hypnagothic 2023-12-28 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
It has not, as I do not believe she was witness.

[ who knows what else the source could be, man, he seemed to have a problem with Dream before so. but he tilts his head just slightly. ]

Easily hurt?

[ Loki? That draws her away from her weak attempt at drinking soup once more. What in any realm does Loki have to do with any of this? ]

I would— rather not burden someone else with my...state, but—

[ It's difficult enough for just them to know, but then she also can't think of a better solution other than handling it herself. In which case several more people might spot how poorly she's doing, and she would rather...not. ]

If we must, then why Lord Loki?

[ She has nothing against him, but they aren't exactly close. ]

[ the fingers pressing against her back rub gently when he feels the tension rising in her at the suggestion. ]

And while I would not speak for him, I doubt that he would se it as a burden.

[ not if Hob was the one to ask him. he'd probably bend over backwards to do it. ]

[ The touch is enough to remind her that nothing disastrous is likely to happen in the next hour, at least.

'Seeing each other' is not exactly a phrase she's familiar with in this context, but she can quickly deduce what he means. She can't help her surprise, but if anything it begins to draw out something of a smile, first with a glance up to Morpheus and then back to Hob.

If there is one good thing about this city, it is that their captor doesn't consider openly expressed love to be a crime. London could not make the same claim. ]


How wonderful to hear. Have you...known one another for long?

It was shortly after the events in October, was it not?

[ right around the time he and Vanessa become a thing. ]
