[hypnagothic]

Not since our initial conversation as ... events had transpired. I understand that you would be present though?

[100more]

Yes, I offered, and he said he would like that. If it won't get in the way somehow.

[hypnagothic]

You would only if you were to wake him. I have no protest to your presence.

[100more]

I'll follow your lead. Whatever you say.

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

[hypnagothic]

Ideally, you would be asleep as well. I could join your dreams as another test of the limits here, if you would both agree.

[100more]

Me? At the same time?

[ Hob didn't expect that. ]

Are you sure that wouldn't be too much?

[ Hob is all for helping Dream test himself and perhaps get stronger, but he wants Loki to get the help he needs, first. ]

[hypnagothic]

I would focus on Loki's request as a priority since he requested it. Depending on our labors, he might find a conjoined dream with you after to be comforting.

[100more]

[ Hob's worry eases as Loki assures him that Loki's problem will come first, and his own dreaming may make things easier. ]

Alright. If it will help. But don't push yourself too hard.

[hypnagothic]

[ the smallest hint of a smile. ]

The point would be to push against the limits imposed upon me, Hob.

[100more]

[ Hob smiles in an understanding way and touches Dream's arm. ]

Yes, I know.

[ He just cares about what happens to Dream, is all. A sigh and then he remembers something. ]

Oh, look what I found.

[ He goes to the kitchen to retrieve the gift left to him by Vanessa and places the box of macarons on the table along with the note. ]

[hypnagothic]

[ he glances to the cookies briefly, picking up the note to read. ]

That is thoughtful of her.

[100more]

Yes, it was.

[ Hob can't argue that. He opens the box and picks up one of the cookies. ]

Do you want to try one?

[ Yes, Hob knows he's supposed to share them with his 'beloved', but it seems rude not to offer. Besides, there's a second box for Loki. ]

[hypnagothic]

No thank you. The gift is yours, and I suspect that she may have more.

[100more]

Yes, she probably does.

[ Hob chews thoughtfully on the cookie. ]

Did you read the note? There's a ticket for a 'card reading'. Does she mean tarot cards?

[hypnagothic]

She does. I believe she arrived with her tool.

[100more]

I didn't realize she had that sort of talent. It's unusual.

Has she read your cards before?

[hypnagothic]

No. Nor could she. There is no oracle, seer, or witch that can tell of my family.

[100more]

And.. is she one of those?

[ Oracle, seer, or witch?]

[hypnagothic]

Perhaps.

[ a knowing smirk, there and gone. ]

My point is that no one is able to scry information about the Endless.

[100more]

[ No one can scry information about the Endless, but Hob thinks Vanessa might be able to do so for anyone else. There's a look of hesitation on his face. ]

I'm sure her ability to read cards is unmatched, but.. do you think she would be offended if I declined?

[hypnagothic]

[ he looks lightly surprised at that, his eyebrows rising slightly. ]

You are hesitant of her abilities?

[100more]

I don't know what those abilities are, Dream.

[ Sure, Hob doesn't know the full extent of Dream's abilities, either, but Hob would not hesitate to place his trust in Dream. The circumstances were different, though. ]

[hypnagothic]

Nor do I know fully of hers.

[ he doesn't sound too worried about it though. ]

[100more]

[ Hob thinks Dream's personal feelings may have something to do with that. Plus, given his astronomical power, what would he have to fear? ]

I just think it's better if I don't learn too much about things before they happen.

[hypnagothic]

There is more than only the future, Hob.
