"Are you recording any of this? And have you changed your policy on using a vocal filter to give me a husky voice?" His musing was half-whispered, half delivered on a laugh; Jude's eyes rested upon Devi's face warmly, the fire casting a sheen of ice from his countenance at last. With Devi, Jude felt comfortable to submit to levity; he knew her heart too palpitated with delight at the prospect of illusions unveiled. These discoveries were a wonderful deterrent to dark thoughts that brewed, the charm of mystery. "Tonight doesn't feel quite real me to me.... I can't explain it. As if this whole event is something I dreamed of." The summer solstice was impressed with a deep dream like quality. Bodies flitted before him like apparitions, movements as lithe at to give the impression of floating. Helltown was devoted to this spectacle, its apocryphal creation seemingly forgotten beneath a sea of flowers, mulled wine, and an ever-growing flame.
