And just like Dream said, he did come to visit Errō the next day, partially because he didn't have urgent matters at the moment and he just wanted to check up on them and visit them. After yesterday, he felt like he needed to check in on them today, especially after seeing all the scarring on Errō's face. It was fairly hot outside, so Dream wasn't wearing his jacket, as it was a bit too thick to be worn in this kind of weather. Dream saw Errō in front of their library, working on the flower bed in front of the library. A duck sitting in the shade and eating a small slice of watermelon. Errō was wearing a white, lightweight button-up shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to their elbows, with blue jeans and black flip-flops. Their hair was tied into a braid that ran down a few inches past their shoulder blades, and oddly enough they weren't wearing their scarf. Dream just figured that they just didn't want it to get dirty.

"Oh hey, Dream! What are you doing here?" Errō asked, standing up, dusting themselves off before walking over to him.

Dream hummed, "I had some free time, so I decided to come and visit you again. I hope that's okay."

Errō shook off their surprise. They honestly hadn't expected Dream to visit them again so soon. They were kinda flattered, but they also felt a little weird about it. "Oh, no. That's perfectly alright, I just didn't expect you to visit so soon already... I'm almost done here, so we can go inside if you'd like." Errō informed, picking Dandelion up and holding a door open.

Dream nodded and followed Errō into the library and up the stairs, and into the cool living room where they both sat down on the couch, with the duck in Errō's lap.

"Errō, where did you find this duck? I just saw you yesterday." Dream asked.

"You also just met me yesterday." Errō retorted. "But he kinda showed up? I suppose... I dunno." They frowned, gently poking the back of Dandelion's head, painfully repressing a smile as he flipped his head upside down to stare at them.

Dream blinked. What? "What do you mean, 'He just showed up'?"

Errō pressed their lips into a straight line again. "I meant exactly what I said, Dandelion just showed up, what do you think I mean?"

Dream hummed, he was still a little confused by how 'Dandelion', showed up yesterday but wouldn't question it, too much, for now at least. "I'm not sure. I never took you as a- bird? Person?" To be fair, Dream knew very little about Errō. They could own five birds for all he knows!

"Well you just met me yesterday. And I didn't either, if I'm being honest. I like all animals but dogs kinda confuse me..." Errō mused, their face twisting into pure confusion.

Dream raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?"

Errō tilted their head from side to side, thinking, "Ehhh, one of my acquaintances had a dog or what I think was a dog? It was more like a whoopee-cushion than dog. It was- disturbing..." They shivered, "I mean- it was just odd, that's the only way I can describe it! But- that thing could survive anything!"
