There is not so much of the Sonezu book left to memorize as all that; Hektor thinks, perhaps, it will not be much longer before the door will open for him again. It will be good to see Troy once more, and to return to his family

"Hektor, son of Priam." there is no emotional overtones to the name; there is merely Dream, nodding as his gaze passes the boy.

The youth looks up in some surprise. "you have the better of me, I think," he says. "And of many here that I have met; there are few indeed who even know the name, let alone my face. Ought I to know you, sir?"

"No." Dream states, lips quirking faintly, "I know you, but we have never spoken awake before. I am Dream."

There is a silence; then Hektor bows, his knuckles pressed against his brow in the sign of homage. Here, he thinks, it is likelier by far to meet with one who can lay claim to such a title and deserve it than anywhere else.
