Matt could tell that Kate wasn't lying. Insanity was always an option, people sometimes genuinely believed in their delusions. She wasn't acting insane otherwise, though. "That... is not what I expected to hear this morning." He was trying to process it all. The concept of gods and immortals existing wasn't new to him. There was Thor, after all. There was the Hand and the Chaste, each of which had people who'd existed for centuries or longer. Aliens and magic woven into great stories about gods. Of course Matt didn't subscribe to any worship of them, but he understood how such tales had come about and why other people revered them. They were just lower case g's to him, compared to God.

"Okay. Okay..." He had so many questions. "I mean, if anyone was going to somehow befriend a ruler of dreams, of course it would be you." Kate would think nothing of trying to befriend anyone, or being able to charm them to her side. "I kind of want to hear the story about how you met this guy sometime, but if you trust him, you know I trust you." Which meant that, transitionally, he trusted this king. God? Whatever he was. "Why would he do this, though? I mean, did you help him and he offered this?" Was Kate wasting a wish on him? "Could you just wish for some good nights of sleep on your behalf, instead?" Of course Matt would rather it be used for Kate instead of him.
