When Dream walked away in 1889, was Hob worried his immortality was at an end? Was he super careful for a couple decades? Obv he’s upset when Dream leaves because he sees him as a friend. But I just wonder if he also feared that Dream was upset enough to end the whole thing.
Edit to Add: The other half of this is that whether or not Dream felt himself outraged to the point he would consider it, his pride would never allow him to talk to Death about it. He can handle his own issues, thank you. And also he knows she would call him out for being a stuck up ponce.
