Dream just stares at him in disbelief. "Why not? Then who would take care of your annoying self and remind you to eat." He snaps, harsher than he had intended.
Considering the drama and trauma he had to go through to get his way, even he was surprised that he came back.
Dale just blinks myopically at Dream trying to figure out if it was really Dream or it was just an apparition of his addled mind.
He wouldn't be surprised if Dream as a figment of his imagination was as mean as the real Dream usually was, his prickly attitude was part of the adorable Omega's charm.
Dream just rolls his eyes. "I see I have to do everything, come on, you need to wash up, you look horrible, have you been sitting in front of that desk since I left? Haven't you ever heard of breaks?..." Dream starts to scold him, taking him by the wrist and leading him to the in-built bathroom in his office.
