Mm. Let's leave it as not having been the most pleasant of breakups. I had intended on taking a pause on romance to focus on my realm. I had managed that well enough until a certain muse wandered back into my existence.

[The breakup with Thessaly hadn't been his worst by far, but it also hadn't been fun and Dream had been in his Focus on Myself having some straightening out to do phase, but romance never did work that way. It tended to sneak up on him even when he wasn't looking for it. And he can't say he's sorry now that happened.

He's also not going to think on how many women from Ancient Greece he apparently will end up dating.]

Perhaps we could have some refreshments there, then. Though we'll first have to get past Matthew's decorations.

[Having reached the castle entrance the squirrel scurries off him and chitters its goodbye. The gate guardians dip their heads in bows. Dream lays a hand on their heads before entering a truly garish depiction of a spooky Halloween theme. Fake cobwebs, spiders, skeletons, dream ghosts, eerie music, candles that flair blood colors, skulls full with wine... no expense has been spared in the main hall.]
