Dream drew to a stop and looked up at the moon, escaped from the clouds and shining like a pale sun above them. “You know,” he said, “I once hated you because I thought you as stubborn, brave, and foolish as I had been. I’m now certain you are worse.�� “Far worse,” agreed Hob, taking his hand. “Strayed off the path a thousand more times than you did.” “Yes.” “I think,” said Hob, gently, and paused. “I think there might’ve been some luck involved too.” “Perhaps,” he said, not looking over.  “But it’s not better, is it?” His voice was as soft as the moon-damp moss under Dream’s feet.  “No. It’s not.” Hob squeezed his hand a little. “It’s not better, and nor is it fair.” “I saw no virtue in being brave,” he said. “I saw it only as my undoing and the pointless ruin of so much life.” Hob made a thoughtful sound beside him. “I still think it is, you know. I think it’s only out of necessity or else madness that I’ve ever been brave.” “Which one was I?” asked Dream, turning to look at him. “Bit of both.”
Doubts, a first night together, and different kinds of bravery.
