You're kind to say as much.

Perhaps neither of us does well with compliments, as far as receiving goes.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Perhaps we just need to practice more. ;)

Speaking of outfits though, when we eventually go dancing do you want me to pick my own gown or would you like to do that for me?

[shadowtruths]

Oh, of course you should choose. I can offer the Dreaming to create whatever you desire, but I can't imagine a more splendid sight than how you wish to be seen.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Does he realize how sweet it is for him to say that?]

Thank you, I'll have to start dreaming up some ideas about what I want to wear....
Will you be wearing your usual attire? I would hate to show up over dressed.

[shadowtruths]

[He does not. It only seems painfully obvious to him that he enjoys her company for who she is, rather than what he imagines her to be. While there is less to hide in knowing one's subconscious it also makes adornments to alter that truth feel awkward and ill-fitting.]

I will dress up as befits the occasion. [Formality matters to him where appropriate.] You're a far more pleasant reason to do so than stately or family affairs.

I have begun working on the ballroom. A few days should be sufficient to complete it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Do you always dress up for family affairs?

I am so excited to see what you've created. :)

[shadowtruths]

When involving the entire family that is usually expectation Destiny sets, yes. When I simply see Death or Delirium, certainly not.

Can you imagine telling your little sister to dress up for eating chocolate at the dinner table?

I hope it does not disappoint, then.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Interesting, so for formal family attire do you wear a suit? Or a cloak?

I can't imagine telling my little sister to dress up at all, she's a tomboy and hates wearing dresses.

I'm sure it will be beautiful.

[shadowtruths]

A cloak of sorts, yes. I might be more tired than I thought as better descriptive words are not coming to mind. It is not a suit as known these days, no. Though I suppose I could wear one.

I can see that in her. Delirium wears dresses on occasion, though I would not describe them as fancy. Death certainly grumbles but obliges Destiny in his formal requests when she has to.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's okay Dream, if you're tired we don't have to keep texting. You are allowed to rest you know. ;)

It's a little strange to think that Death is so casual, considering how media and art has portrayed her.

[shadowtruths]

It is not that dire yet. Minimal risk of incomprehensibility, I assure you.

She does tend to prefer black attire, so that much is often true. Though she does not appear dour from it, and has no need to hold a scythe.

[dawn_is_breaking]

You shouldn't worry so much, even when tired you're very eloquent.

So both of you just wear all black all the time?

[shadowtruths]

It was not an intentional matching. She simply has the benefit of coming into existence first to adopt it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Classic younger sibling, copying the older because they think it's cool.
;)

[she's just teasing you, Dream.]

[shadowtruths]

[Can you hear the deep sigh, Dawn. Can you.]

I should have known you would side with her. Older siblings united.

Did your sister ever show such similarities, inspired or otherwise?

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Oh yes, she can hear the sigh.]

Sorry, it was bound to happen at some point.

I guess a little, we've both been pretty active our whole lives although she did rugby instead of ballet.

[shadowtruths]

I shall have to find an ally in Holly should the worst come to pass. [He's teasing.]

The only time I've ever played a sport in my existence was with my son when he was a child.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Oh boy, now there's an introduction I'd be curious to see.

You had a son?

[shadowtruths]

Is this where the saying about a proverbial train wreck comes into account?

Yes. Though he was born many centuries ago. The games were ones common in ancient Greece at the time, rather than your modern ones.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I would think so, yes. :)

Oh wow. Do you mind me asking about him or is it a sensitive topic?

[shadowtruths]

Holly and I will remember that.

I would rather not discuss the tragedy that befell him. That he existed though, and his goodness, I am proud to share.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Do your siblings...urm...know about me? Or have you kept it private?

Of course. Did you enjoy being a father?

[shadowtruths]

I have not seen my siblings since we began to spend time with one another. That is not unusual, for us. You are not one I have tried to hide, if that was a concern.

It was not expected, but yes. Very much so.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It wasn't really a concern, mostly curiosity.

What was your favorite part about it?

[Also his comment about it not being expected....that brings up an interesting question that she might have to ask him further on down the road. Which is: If things continue with them along the lines she thinks it will, do the Endless need to wear condoms?]

LOL at her question, but it's a fair one!

[shadowtruths]

Those whom I work with closely know of you.

To get to know a person you helped bring into the world is quite an extraordinary feeling. Watching him develop his own mind I suppose, while finding mirrors to his mother and myself. He was born mortal, yet when having a child, existence feels timeless in a new manner even to an Endless.

[Apparently.]
