- Dream slowly woke up to feel a hand gently combing through his messy hair. He heard voices talking as he tried opening his heavy eyelids.
"How are we going to tell Dream that we are to go to the castle? Will he even be okay with going to the kingdom?" A voice he did not recognize well asked.
"If anything he will be safer. Your father will no doubt turn his bounty into nothing when they meet." Jschlatt's voice reached his ears.
He adjusted himself slightly as his eyes started to pry open. The hand in his hair pulled away gently.
"Morning Dream." Jschlatt greeted as Dream sat up.
A pile of clothes was gently placed into his lap.
"I washed your sweatshirt and cleaned your mask for you." Jschlatt said as he took a seat next to him.
Dream nodded but stayed rooted in place. He noticed the three hunters sitting across watching the interactions.
"Would you like us to call you Clay or Dream?" Bad the demon fullborn asked.
"dream." Dream almost whispered.
"Why are you so shy? You can talk to us. We are not hunting you anymore." Sapnap, the one with a white headband, said.
"Probably because he is used to never being talked directly to or because he was never listened to and chased." A voice next to him said.
Dream looked at the owner of the voice to see a half blood with pink hair. He was wearing royal clothing and his arm was wrapped in bandages. Dream was going to look at more details before a fur ball of orange was on his face.
"Fundy give him some space he just woke up." Jschlatt said grabbing the fox and setting him in between Dream and himself.
"Damn rat." He heard the man murmur next to him.
"Do not pay any mind to TechnoBlade and his gibberish. He and Fundy have some history against each other." Jschlatt said also hearing the murmur with his enhanced hearing.
- Dream just nodded before Jschlatt stood. He grabbed the clothes on Dream's lap before grabbing one of Dream's hands.
"I will show you where you shall dress yourself." Jschlatt said leading him to another room.
The room was almost as large as the bedroom he first woke up in.
"I know those three put you on edge. You can talk as well no need to be shy." Jschlatt said as he opened another door to a smaller room.
"This is a changing room can use. I will be back to check on you soon." Jschlatt said closing the first door and leaving.
Dream had quickly pulled the sweatshirt over his head before tying his mask to his face. He felt the relief of being hidden again. Now his opponents can not read him.
- Jschlatt returned to the main seating area shortly after leaving Dream to get dressed.
"When are you going to tell him that you are going to the castle?" Techno asked as he entered.
"Once he is dressed and trusting of those three." Jschlatt stated as he carefully grabbed Techno's gown.
"Trying to wash the blood out?" Techno sneered.
"Yes and stitch the tears as well." Jschlatt said as Techno reluctantly let him have it.
Jschlatt was quick with precision to clean and stitch the gown. He laid it next to Techno to dry before heading back to get Dream. He found Dream standing in the small room looking at the mirror. He looked as if he never saw one, not that Jschlatt could actually see his face.
