[The wry look on his face says he knows he's joking with that one. If anything, Dream is known for being stiff and uptight, bound by his duties and traditions to where he doesn't bend easily. He's trying to be more flexible these days though and make up for his past actions. His efforts seem to be paying off, not only in his friendships but in a newfound relationship with Stella.]
We have. Who know it would only take a thousand years or so. Are you ready to depart for the Dreaming or shall we stay here longer?
[With a nod and some sand, Morpheus transports them to the Dreaming's throne room. The large, winding staircase the leads up to the throne has red ribbons and white ornaments along the sides. There's a tree, with blinking, multi-colored lights that blink in time to Christmas music smack in the center. On one side is a blown up snowman, on the other side is Rudolph. The windows are frosted and show candies and presents.
Then, on the throne seat itself, is a wrapped garland of chili pepper lights and a Santa hat dangling off one corner.
None of the decorations match each other. Dream looks ruefully around the space.]
[He gives her an amused look as he watches her. At least Matthew isn't around to join in right now. He begins to trail up the stairs after her, nearly appearing like he's floating with his efforts.]
That would certainly likely be one title, yes. Although I have many. People do seem to enjoy tacking on honorifics to describe my duties and role.
[Dream, Lord L'Zoril, Lord Morpheus, Prince of Stories, Lord of the Dreaming, King of Dreams, Oneiros, Kai'ckul, Murphy, Lord Shaper, King of All Night's Dreaming, Onehiroi, the 8th Circle... the list goes on.]
I cannot say I do, for I am all of them. I suppose it is more the case that I enjoy hearing my name spoken more by some than others, than what name they're using in particular.

[Though she is crossing the room to reach and touch his arms, a little grin playing at her lips.]

Hopefully the memory doesn't mar the present too much.

It doesn't. You're here to see me, and we've both grown.

He said it was a 'vibe.'

Date: 2023-12-31 04:55 pm (UTC)It is a vibe. The throne looks friendly.

Can I be Lord of the Dreaming for a little bit?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-31 11:32 pm (UTC)Would you wish to be in charge of the Dreaming?
Would that leave me to inspire artists instead?
