Now that the Dreaming has returned to its former glory, and perhaps even surpassed its beauty of before, Dream decided to take heed of Lucienne's advice and journeyed to the Waking World for a small time away. She hadn't been ecstatic that he was leaving his realm, but he was strong now, no longer vulnerable, and thus he did not worry. It would be a simple trip, and he was rather looking forward to surprising Hob at the New Inn upon morning.
For the time being, he wandered the city, and eventually followed a pair of smartly dressed humans into an elegant establishment. It seemed to be a bar of some sort, but the atmosphere was distinctly different from the tavern he and Hob had convened at for their centennial meetings. He decided to take a seat on one of the comfortable stools at the bar, and glanced around curiously until his gaze landed on a man also seemingly on his lonesome.
"𝐈 𝐝𝐨." Dream replied evenly, and remembered to give a small smile. Hob had said, during his last visit, that he looked much more approachable when he smiled. "𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭."
