Thank you, Dream. This gift is invaluable.
[ He looks down at it again, running his thumb over the etching, then lifts the necklace by the chain and places it over his head so it can hang against his chest. ]
no subject
I would ask that you keep its purpose to yourself, of course.
no subject
[ He looks down at the pendant and holds it in his hand, as though to protect it. ]
Could I... tell Loki it's for protection?
[ A weak smile. ]
He gets a bit jealous, I think. Of you.
no subject
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.
no subject
[ He hopes Loki won't be jealous that Hob received a gift, but he thinks the god will appreciate that it's meant to protect him.
As Dream's posture changes a bit, Hob blinks and looks down at the amulet he's clutching. ]
Oh, sorry. Did I activate it or something?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[ He had better be careful about playing with it, then. To ensure he doesn't, Hob takes the amulet and drops it down into his shirt so it rests against his chest.
When Dream mentions the 'incident', Hob flushes a bit and nods. ]
Yeah, everything's fine. He saw what happened, and it bothered him, but I smoothed things over.
[ And got a hell of a kiss out of it. ]

no subject
[ What else would the source be? ]
I suppose it hasn't come up between you and Vanessa. Loki has such strong emotions. I think he could be easily hurt.
[ So naturally, Hob will take care to ensure that doesn't happen. The mistletoe was out of his control. ]
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
He may have a reputation, and perhaps he hasn't always made the right choices, but he has a tender heart. I don't want to hurt him.
no subject
Are you aware of his ... status?
no subject
[ Hob looks a little wary for a moment. Oh God, what if Loki were actually betrothed or something to another god back home? Or he was destined to be with someone specific? No, Loki would mention that, Hob thinks. ]
no subject
no subject
[ It takes Hob a few moments to realize what Dream means, but when it dawns on him, there's some sorrow in Hob's eyes, heavy enough that he looks away. ]
Yes, he told me. But he's not dead now, so I think he must have a second chance to do things differently.
[ Loki can lead a better life than he did before, right? That's a whole lot of hope Hob is placing on the unknown. ]
no subject
[ Morpheus raises his hand to Hob's shoulder, somewhat awkwardly, giving it a light squeeze. ]
It is good that he informed you then, so that you would not be blindsided later.
no subject
I admit to being upset when I heard of it, but circumstances are different now. I have to believe that counts for something.
no subject
Have the circumstances changed?
no subject
[ That's a very big change, Hob thinks. ]
This could alter everything, don't you think?
no subject
[ he holds any optimism in reserve, his flat tone revealing that reservation. ]
no subject
I'm sure a lot of people are seeing this as a second chance.
[ Hob still wants to go home, of course, but perhaps he can help Loki at the same time. Which reminds Hob...]
Have you spoken to Loki any further about his sleeping problems?

[ The last thing Hob wants to do is get in the way of Dream's work. ]
