domestic dream

QUIRKS & HOBBIES:

I feel like Morpheus would like to knit or crochet. He likes to keep those long nimble fingers of his busy when he'd not crafting any nightmares or dreams and it would help relax his mind from his burdens if not only for a little while. Sometimes he will leave his little knit creatures on his desk and also probably sprinkle life into them so they become mini shadowy creatures and they end up having a fond attachment to Lucienne and Matthew.

He likes creating dreams specifically catered to you, especially if/when you're having a hard time falling asleep, or have insomnia.

He gets bored when you're not around so he'll shift into his cat form and wander around your dwelling to explore, because it's more fun that way, until a flour bag falls on top of him once. You laughed hysterically when you saw the camera footage while at work;you definitely showed the footage to Hob you doubled over at the New Inn gripping the table hard so he could catch his breath. Morpheus didn't hear the end of that for months, or was it years?

Forehead kisses. (He starts doing it when he's more comfortable around you). Especially if you're shorter than him, before he leaves to go back to the Dreaming or wish you sweet dreams, he never hesitates to give you a forehead kiss and it becomes his own little ritual for you, though you catch him giving Hob one once which makes you melt too.

COOKING & FOOD:

At first I feel like Morpheus wouldn't be the best at it, but you gradually teach him and he wants to learn your favorite dishes so he (maybe along with Hob or Cori) can help make them when you've had a bad day, or for a domestic date night at home.

He learns to cook your favorites and perfect them as best as he can. Sometimes you take him out to experience the meals you enjoyed both as a kid and adult.

If you had a long day and forgot to eat, he will not let this slide by and softly convince you to eat something small even if it is a little broth and a slice of bread. You will not go undernourished on his watch. He does care deep down.

You'll be baking in the kitchen and sometimes he'll sit on the windowsill in his cat form, absolutely mesmerized by the rhythm of your movements and just enjoys admiring you from afar. Bonus points if you pick him up in said cat form and nuzzle him to make him purr loudly. Extra bonus points if flour falls on his cat nose causing him to wheeze and pop back into his usual human form, which causes you to laugh at the offended, yet adorable look on his face.
