An annoyed Death was paying Desire a visit, in its own realm.
"You know," Death said, "I've had enough of your insulting and taunting of Dream."
Desire smirked. "He simply isn't the most sapient entity. He doesn't have enough sense to come in from the rain."
"Enough!" Death dragged Desire to its gallery. "Now call him and apologize!"
An apologetic Lucien answered Desire's call. "Er... I'm afraid that Lord Morpheus doesn't wish to be disturbed now. He's, er, standing outside... er, in the rain."
Death sighed sadly. She had to admit that her brother wasn't making this easy for her.
