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-"

Summary
“You are more free this way than you were ever before.” His voice is honeyed as his words are gut-wrenchingly cruel. There is a hitched sob in Dream’s throat, a palpable surprise; as to how somebody can be free in a spellbound state, trapped in their own body.
[Or in which: The Corinthian finds a convenient way to strip his lord of his powers and takes him as his captive in his weakened and vulnerable state.]

Summary
Hob Gadling has always been careful with his heart, which is not to say that he doesn’t allow himself to fall in love. When the newest love of his very long life sticks in a way he didn’t anticipate, the arrival of an old, assumed to be unrequited, love complicates things. There’s also the very small problem of his immortality, her all-too-human self, and the temperament of the anthropomorphic personification of the collective human unconsciousness, who truly is trying to be a better friend, and perhaps more.
Or, Hob always did think the phrase “three’s a crowd” was a bit misleading.
