Matt's hands came to her first, caressing every inch of exposed skin, but Kate knew what this kinda touch meant. It was something grounding, meant to remind her that he was there for her and he would always be. Kate kissed the top of his head as Matt's lips found her neck, his thick and soft hair still mussed by sleep. She liked this look on him, how it wa something not everyone had the privilege to share. And at times when he said things like this? It did feel like a privilege. Not because Matt would deny anyone help. Oh, no, it was the contrary.

Kate let out a little amused huff as she wrapped her arms around his neck, holding Matt close. He knew her so well. And he was so ready to fight by her side, no matter the odds. "I know, Matt." That reminder only pulled at her heartstrings again. She could only hope that wherever Dream was fighting his fight, that he wouldn't feel alone doing it.

She kissed his temple, once again touched by how they were in the same page. Because even though they were both discovering how things in this relationships would work from now on, what had changed and what not, at least some things they were sure of. They could always rely on the other. And going to bed together felt so much better than doing it on their own. "Me too. Even if you push me out of bed sometimes," she teased quietly, reminding him of their inside-joke.

"I trust Morpheus a 100%," Kate told Matt as she pulled back again, enough to be able to see his face. "He -- I woke with two amulets in my hand. He told me that if we both wear it and, if we gave consent, we would be able to walk into each other's dreams." Of course, she understood why Matt might be nervous. After all, she was dropping something huge on his lap. "Morph said that even the people who can't walk in dreams can. That the elderly feel young again." Neither of those were Kate's experience, but she knew what it was like to suddenly be surrounded by things or places that only lived in your memory. Or imagination.

"I think so. You'd be walking into my mind, in a way. You'll be able to see the things I've seen and remember. My face, maybe pictures of yours. Of your old apartment and this one. The cats and Lucky."

Their friends. Maybe.... What about Foggy?

"Maybe we could make a list of things? Like, remember when people say that the more you think of something there's chances they'll show up in your dreams?" Shit, why hadn't she asked about this to the King of Dreams himself?

Kate trusted she would have some control, though. Whenever something related to Dream showed up, Kate always became aware thats he was not awake anymore. Wearing that necklace? Hopefully it would be enough to have some control.
