Kate frowned lightly as Dream namedropped another one of his siblings. Despair? Suddenly, he imagined him and a bunch of colorful beings sitting inside of someone's head, with a panel control and colorful spheres like the ones in Inside-Out.
She tried her best not to let those thoughst distract her too much.
But whenever Dream explained more about his family and the way the universe worked, it was easy to dedicate him her full attention. After all, there was something definitely reassuring about thinking that Death was something familiar and kind. It even helped Kate feel better about her own loses. To think that her father met someone that woke soem vague memories and offered kind words before she helped him through that last journey.
It didn't mean she missed him any less, but this knowledge was another gift on itself.
"Can a person actually meet Death without, hummm, actually dying?" Or being born, apparently.
"They can, yes. Death has her own friends and colleagues, though admittedly, many avoid her as much as possible." It was something that, as a younger sibling, Dream had never really considered until Death pointed it out. How it was difficult for her too sometimes with her role, how sometimes it was more difficult than his existence. He'd taken for granted that his older sister was perfectly fine and there for him when he needed her, until she made it clear she sometimes needed people, too. More than needing him, she needed them. The people whom she took to the Sunless Lands.
"She does not tend to dally long, given her duties. I could see if she is amenable to meeting." Was he a little jealous that she wanted to meet another Endless? Perhaps. Not that he'd admit to it. "Normally she merely tells me what I need to do better than departs." Now he was being unfair and he knew it. Death was the most supportive of all his siblings. A bit grudgingly he added, "She gives adequate counsel."
