"I have seen a good deal. Not everything." As powerful as he was, Morpheus always was quick to state his limits, or if someone else was more powerful than he was. That sort of precision and boundaries mattered to him. "And I know a good deal." A beat. "In part because of mistakes of my own." Perhaps he should let humanity think the Endless were infallible. Was it kinder to keep that lie, than to let them know that these powerful beings sometimes made mistakes? Perhaps. He wasn't a very good liar, though. "Some of these mistakes are ones I have yet to rectify myself. So I can say with the wisdom of that experience that yes, waiting does not help. In many cases, it makes it worse."
Matthew took the fry and held it in one of his feet while he started to chomp on it from the other end. How a bird with just a beak managed to eat all that Matthew did was indeed some magic of the Dreaming.
"We're big on second chances, yeah. I mean hey, I guess you could even call ending up a raven as a second chance." That was at least a positive way to approach it.
