( It is never enough because if Caelus leaves then how is he supposed to assert his control? His servants can't travel away from the Dreamscape and then who else will Caelus spend his lonely nights with? A screen and some words, or a voice message? Sunday knows best than to tie him down to a world that does not belong to him, but he will never admit it - how much he detests the idea of letting go something precious. He can't own Caelus.

And if he did stay and it was Sunday's time to ascend for the greater good, for all his people, then what would be of Caelus' loneliness?

His wing twitches to any immediate touch, starved for it, yet he barely shows any expression. The warmth of his lips on his forehead is nice. It's different. )

I can't leave Penacony, you know that much. And the other option left - well - your friends wouldn't leave you behind either. It appears we're back where we started, no?

Heh.

( The most tragic, forced laugh that is. Like he's barely breathing. )

We can have this moment to cherish, Mr. Caelus. I strongly advise against kidnapping me. You do not want to make an enemy out of the Dreammaster.
