Summary
Hob runs into his centennial acquaintance feeding birds at the park. Dream is... Dream.
-------
The furrow in Hob’s brow deepened. “You can talk to birds?”
Dream turned and looked at Hob, frowning. “I can speak to all beings that sleep and dream.”
Well, on one hand, that made sense. On the other hand… “But, birds? Pigeons?”
Dream chided him. “Do not be rude, Hob.” He looked between bird and man, and neither was certain which was being spoken to. “Their reasoning is different from yours, but it is still reason.”

Summary
Hob is not entirely surprised by Dream's appearances while he sleeps, these days. He's never going to make the mistake of taking the luxury for granted, but it has stopped feeling so entirely foreign, the presence of another living creature in his flat, usually lurking around like an oversized crow waiting for Hob to wake up.
This morning, however, Hob senses something troubling outside of the general eerie that Dream supplies to the every day. The flat is usually silent even when occupied by Dream. He seems to move without stirring the air, like the human plain of existence isn't entirely sure what the rules are. Even when he handles things like cups, spoons, the sound is muffled - nearly delayed. But this is different. The change in the atoms is palpable even to Hob's rudimentary senses. He gets out of bed hurriedly, smelling ozone and char. Distress.
"Dream?" He asks. There is no answer, but an awareness in the quiet that does it for him. Progressing into the living room, Hob stalls when he catches sight of Dream. His breath leaves his ribs as if knocked out by the buck of a stallion. "Oh shit-"
