"Hey boss?"
"Yes, Matthew?"
"You, ah, you know that human's down bad for you, right?" Dream frowned.
"He is ill?" Matthew squawked what must have been a laugh.

"Yes, I am aware."Or: Dream becomes aware of his mortal companion's jealousy, and decides to find out exactly what the reason for it might be.
