[Hm. The Omen considers.]

Michael has changed a great deal in very little time. Only a thousand years ago, we were not like this. I would not have been like this. [It fixes the snake with a bright eye.] I do not think we would not be having this conversation.

[So really, it's all to the best. There's no part of Michael that really regrets or doubts what he's become in recent times. If there were, he probably wouldn't have managed to do it at all.]

Deerington changed him, a little. But this place? Not yet, not quite yet. Perhaps with more time.

( Susurrus knows some things about Michael, because Peter and Paimon do — he knows how ancient and strange and powerful a being the demon is, something that sees a thousand years as hardly any time. He knows there are probably other words for him besides "demon" at all. In many ways he's still such a mystery, and in other ways he's someone whom Peter and Paimon can relate to more than they can most others. It's all very complex, but it means that Susurrus values Michael's spirit, his Omen and its opinions, in a particular way. )

I undersssstand. Thissss placcce issss sssstill new. And it issss... different, from the Dream.

( There's a weighted pause as the snake shifts the thoughts within him into the right shape. )

Issss he..... happy, here?

( It's a different question entirely. Something that he isn't sure of in regards to his own Sleeper. )

[The bird flicks its wings a little, sort of like a shrug.]

There are joys and sorrows. It is the same anywhere. [It pauses slightly, tilting its head.] We were happy to go home after the dream. We missed our friends. But, then, we only missed our friends from the Dream instead. It has been good to see you all again. We're content.
