Good morning from Dixie. One of my garden shadows.

Excellent. If you should happen to want a repeat performance, or perhaps something more, don't hesitate to call. -traces his thumb over her lower lip-

*turns slightly pink, then recovers her wits enough to pull away*

I'll...I'll think about it.

[stardustastrid]

Pleasant dreams, Astrid?

Actually...yes. Thank you.

[stardustastrid]

-steadies her when she sways and carefully guides her down- Rest, lovely. Sleep. Dream...

*falls asleep, her head thumping down lightly onto the arm of the couch*

[stardustastrid]

Lie down and sleep then, lovely. And I will give you the sweetest dreams you have ever known. -strokes the nape of her neck, voice dropping to a whisper- Sleep.

*sways, feeling a bit drowsy all of a sudden* I...I need to sit down... *wobbles to the couch*

[stardustastrid]

-chuckles lightly and runs a fingertip down her arm- Don't worry, my talents are not restricted to heat and passion. -brushes a lock of hair off her shoulder- Shall I give you something warmer, sweeter? More embers than fire. Would you like that?

I... *blushes* ...maybe.

[stardustastrid]

Ah, but you see... -taps his chest with one finger- Incubus. Dreams are my bread and butter. Now tell me, my sweet lonely star, what dreams can I give you, to soothe that weary heart?

Nothing that requires your particular brand of magic.

[stardustastrid]

Yes, I know who you are. I've seen your dreams. They seem remarkably empty. Lonesome, even.

That's remarkably invasive. Rude, even.

And my dreams are none of your business.
