It makes me reach for my helmet, internally if not literally. Though I think we all benefit from such a person in our lives, if we're fortunate to have them.
Very old, though it took me awhile to admit to friendship. Nearly too long. [Hob had been quite generous to forgive him, Dream knows that much, after his outburst and then missing the meeting after.] Humans can be quite... forgiving, can't they? [It's said with a humbleness he rarely displays.] I don't wonder why the heart plays such an image to your people.
You may. His name is Hob, though he goes by Robert these days to most. Keeping up with the times. [No, Dream doesn't call him that. Debatable on if he would, should Hob ask, but Hob never has.]
You'd like him. He's a good man. Capable of change, and is that not what the promise of dawn brings?
I have seen the depravity the ages have wrought. Sometimes lived it, even. ... I have also seen, and been reminded, that atrocities are not all that humans bring. A reminder not solely of your people, I assure you. The galaxy is vast and varied.
It's a very old variant on the name. It honestly never occurred to me to refer to him otherwise? I think when one turns that old, those who remember the past become valued. That is, of course, not a blanket term as I'm sure some prefer otherwise, but most fall under that in my experience.
That is a question, isn't it?
Hob never met my wife. She was before his time. I never met his wife, either. Due to my own folly. ... I have been batting this about in my head, back and forth. What to share, what to commit. Not out of embarrassment, but out of... what is being built? I don't know. I value you, what we have. It is less a matter of private and public and more a matter what of what you want, and what we want.
I hold dumb grudges. We all hold dumb grudges. I won't admit it around family if you won't.
[OOC: Sorry for the deletion, something weird happened on my end and it looked like I hadn't replied to the comment above.]
Perhaps in person would be best, though it isn't without merit to have such topics broached now to be finalized later. You are always very much welcome company, over the phone or otherwise. And if reassurance is needed, I am committed to what we have and where I hope we are going. I simply wasn't certain when was the right time to talk about it, and see where we both stood on the matter. Timing and pacing have not been my strong suits, in the past.
I appreciate the reassurance, especially right before you leave for work, and I agree that talking in person would be best since sometimes tone can be misunderstood through text.

thank you for moving 💕
May I ask what their name is? And humans can be strange in that we can be both incredibly forgiving but also hold the dumbest grudges.
Welcome, any excuse to mangle Hozier lyrics, LOL (I say with love)

Haha all the love
I like someone who embraces change, and would you want me to meet him or do you prefer to keep things private?
So does that mean there are other beings that hold dumb grudges as well?

Oh. Would you prefer to discuss these topics in person when you get back? I don't want it to distract you while you're away for work.
My lips are sealed.

When I get back, then?

So yes, when you get back.
