Welcome to your
Ah, who is this here… Mmm, lady Delacroix. A renowned politician and stubborn nonbeliever of “superstition.” Oh, calm down now, Opgraven; these are my favorites, too! You may not believe in me yet, dear Embry, but I’ve seen your dreams. Let’s make this one interesting, hm? Ahuhu~
Like all wonderful nightmares, this one starts with Embry standing naked in an unfamiliar room. How did she get here? Where is it? Who knows! It looks to be a bedroom, though not one she’s seen before. A large bed, a closed closet, and an empty dresser with a large mirror. Nothing of hers is to be found anywhere; a phone, jewelry, makeup… nothing. The only thing in the room is a single dress hanging in the closet. It is pink, frilly, and floofy, complete with little bows, pastel coloring, and a petticoat to push the bottom of the dress out like a cupcake’s top. Little pastel white kitten adorned the dress in a pattern.
“Help! What’s going on?” A voice from beyond the single doorway. Were Embry to exit, she would find a strangely familiar scene; a hallway from her old house, but… off. Doorways were in odd places, or missing entirely. Unfamiliar paintings of a woman in a black-and-white outfit hung on the walls.
“Dad? Are you there?” Her brother’s voice from beyond a door. If she entered, she’d find her brother lying on a bed, cuddling with nearly half a dozen black cats, terror in his eyes as he looked at his sister. Nevyne would watch Embry from her guise in the paintings, her eyes moving along with the woman’s movements. Ahuhu~

Opening her eyes, Embry looked around. She was in a bedroom, but she had never been there before. Feeling a chill, she looked down and blinked. Why was she naked? She looked around, taking a step forward to explore the room. She had to be dreaming, she had never been to this place before, and it doesn't make sense to why she is naked. She took in her surroundings, trying to find something like a cell phone or something. She stopped for a second, if she was dreaming what good would that do her. She saw a door, opening it to reveal a closet. That had one item of clothing in it.
Backing away Embry crossed her arms. "If this is just a dream...." It really didn't matter if she walked around naked right? Way better than putting on that monstrosity of a dress. She slammed the door, moving to the other door in the room. How was she going to get out of this?
Her hand on the door knob she remembered some information that had passed her desk. People dieing in their nightmares. She stopped, tapping her chin with her index finger. If people were dieing...but why? And how? She had thought it silly and she still did. Apparently there was some very superstitious people. "Bah, there is no such thing as being able to perish in your dreams." She opened the door, walking out into the hallway. It was familiar, like her old house. That cold house. Sweat dripped down her back as she moved down the hallway. It was wrong...the doors. And the paintings? "I don't remember so many paintings, or any of these paintings in general." Embry muttered, looking at one. She blinked. "Too bad it's just a dream..these would fetch a pretty penny, maybe even one for my own wall." That is when she heard a familiar voice. Her younger brother!
Running to the door the voice came from, she opened it. There was her brother, and a dozen black cats. She frowned. He was younger...around 10. Why was he asking for their dad? She took a step away from all the cats. "Andrew...get those cats away, come on we got to go." He wasn't real...but she couldn't help herself. She felt a blush creep up her neck at her state of dress and held up a finger, singling for him to wait a minute to run back out into the hallway. Hopefully nothing had changed as she ran back to the door to grab the rediculously disgusting dress, throwing it on and running back to the door her brother was in. She opened it, hoping the cats would be gone this time...

Welcome to your
The scene would freeze when Embry left the room, and be just how she left it when she returned in her beautiful dress. Nevyne would smirk from her observation area; how precious! She should wear them more often. However, the cats would not have left, and all stopped dead and turned to regard Embry when she returned. Andrew would seem surprised and… scared?
“No!” He would yell, backing up from her. “I’m not going anywhere with you! Go away! Get out of my dream! Dad! Dad! Help me, she’s here!”
He would jump up from the bed, and the cats would all arch up and hiss at Embry, bearing fangs and warning her not to get closer. Before she could do anything more, he would run into the wall next to him, and phase through it. A moment later, the cats would all leap at Embry, claws and teeth bared. Most would likely come in contact with her, and the ones who did would phase through her and disappear before they came out the other side of her. She could still feel their fur on her skin, even under the dress. There would be no pain from the claws or teeth; just the feeling of a dozen furry cats brushing all over her skin.
If she would pursue him, she would find the wall to be solid. If she continued down the hallway, she would find the warped version of her house became even more distorted and strange. It was almost like a maze; doors would be locked, rooms would lead into other rooms, and the entire space would seem much, much large. Walls would angle in, or angle out, or an entire hallway would twist like a corkscrew. While she made her way through, she would notice windows to the outside, only she couldn’t see out, due to the crowd of journalists with cameras at each one. As soon as she came into their view, the flashbulbs of cameras would barrage her, capturing her in her frilly dress (or nude, were she to strip herself of it).
Eventually the maze would end, and she would find herself in the living room, with furniture just off on color and position. And at the end of it was her father, kneeling and hugging her brother. His head would snap up to Embry with a scowl.
“Don’t come any closer.”

When Embry opened the door back up, Andrew was right where she had left him, still surrounded by the little fury creatures that Embry hated so much. She frowned when he said he wasn't going anywhere with her. "Andrew, what are you talking about? It's me, your big sister." Embry took one step forward just to watch him leap off the bed and through the wall. He looked like he did when their father killed himself. How could he be shouting for their dad when he wasn't around?
Her thought process stopped immediately as the cats all lunged for her, she backed up into the doorway, a small shriek leaving her lips as they passed through her. The feel of their fur on her skin though made her cringe. "Filthy disgusting creatures...what did Andrew mean by get out of his dream?" Embry looked at the wall he phased through, walking up and touching it. It was solid. She sighed. She couldn't be in his dream, this was 10 year old Andrew, not 17 year old Andrew..but...Embry looked around nervously. Anything could happen...
She moved back into the hallway, just to find herself in basically a maze of hallways that basically wasn't her house anymore. She tore through them, shouting Andrew's name. She had to find him, he couldn't see what happened to their father. Out of breath, Lilith stopped, her eyes taking in her surroundings. It was like it would never end. And that is when she noticed the window she was standing in front of, and the bulbs from paparazzi, taking pictures. "No!" She moved away from the window and tore down the hallway again, trying to avoid anything. She was in a dream, and everythign was so distorted, it clearly wasn't reality. But Embry still felt the feat , finally reaching a door. She blinked a couple of times, pushing hair from her face. The dress had been getting caught everywhere and she seriously hated it and was about to take it off, but if it was really her brother dreaming...
Shaking her head she moved into the room. It was like their old living room, but not. It was...weird. There was her brother and...Embry froze as her fathers head snapped towards her. She instantly felt her blood run cold at the hatred in his eyes. "You..you aren't real....you can't be..." Her voice quivered a little, belying the slight fear she held from those cold days in her house.

Welcome to your
“Not real, Embry? Not real?!” There was anger in his rising voice. “Why? Because I’m dead? Because you killed me?!”
The cats from the earlier room would walk in behind Embry, and slowly spread out in the entire living room. Some would sit at Embry’s feet and stare at her with pale, unblinking eyes. Others would jump on the furniture, or sit by Andrew and her father. Her father barked a short laugh, the laugh of a man who could not believe the gall of the other person.
“No, you didn’t pull the trigger,” he said. His voice was low, and there was a twisted, smug smile on his face. He held tightly onto his son, who buried himself in his father’s arms. “But you kill her. Your mother. She was… so sweet. So full of life…” His voice quivered now, and he looked to be on the verge of tears. “Why… why did you kill her?” Why did you kill her?” His voice was rising in anger again, and his face contorted with a scowl. “You took her from me. She was EVERYTHING. And then I had to RAISE you, oh, no, it wasn’t enough that you took everything from me, but I had to see your wretched, soulless face each. And. Every. Day!”
He went silent, but the television nearby lit up as if on cue. The local news station was on, and had a picture of Embry in her dress plastered in the middle. The anchor went on:
"…Infamous politician Embry Delacroix was found to not only have ties to the black market and numerous crime dealings, but it came to pass that she had also been responsible for the death of both her parents, and now we have video evidence that she may have planned the same fate for her brother…"
The screen cut to a video of Embry, in the very dress she wore now, in her home. The angle was looking in from her living room window. Inside, the recording showed an image of Embry savagely beating her brother, who did his best to get away from her. She slapped him. Kicked him. Choked him and slammed him against walls. Murky audio could be heard, mostly phrases such as “Do you want to die like dad did? Huh? Do you?!” and “You’re nothing but a burden to me! I wish you would have stayed out of my life, you horrible little imp!”
The news story would repeat this way, and Andrew, the Andrew in front of her, real or not, was sobbing wildly, while his father stroked his hair and cooed at him. “It’s okay buddy. I’m here. I’m here.”

She took a step back at her fathers booming voice. "No..I didn't..." Embry felt like the child who had consistently tried to please her father. Had consistently been shrugged off and shooed away over Andrew. She felt all the familiar pain from her childhood fill her chest as her father held Andrew. This isn't real...Embry tried to repeat it but when her father started blaming her, she shook her head. Avoiding the cats, she backed against the door, wishing for nothing but escape as the accusations from her father piled up on her.
"No..No...I didn't kill her! I didn't do it!" Embry tried to defend herself, her voice smaller than she would have liked as the television flickered on. The news report showed her in the stupid dress she had on and she felt her face heat up. The blood drained away though as the accusation from the reporter hit her ears and the scene changed to her, in their living room, beating her brother. She shook her head, fear filling her as she turned her wide eyes to her father and brother on the other side of the room. She felt tears roll down her face. Tears that hadn't touched her in years, since she was a child.
"Andrew..no it isn't true...father...please I didn't..." She frowned. She felt like that child, she shook her head. She wasn't that child...and she didn't know if this was her Andrew or not but...father was dead. She took a couple steps closer to them. "Andrew....father is dead. He isn't real. It's ok, Andrew..." Andrew couldn't hate her...he couldn't be like this. Embry wiped away her tears. She had given him everything after father died. "Andrew.." She had striven to protect him, to make sure he didn't want for anything. She had worked so hard for him, her younger brother, her younger brother who she had no idea where he came from. She still loved him though...she glared at their father.

Welcome to your
The volume of the television rose with each passing second. Andrew huddled closer to his father, shaking his head and crying. “No, no! Not again… Don’t let her take me!” His words came from between heavy sobs and gasps for air. His father cooed, and reach a hand into the back of his own belt.
“Do you want to stay with me, Andrew?” He asked, soft and gentle. All the cats in the room moved to them and sat in a protective circle around the pair. Andrew nodded.
“Please… I don’t want to go back with her ever again!”
There was a distinct click that could be heard even over the television. Her father pulled the gun from behind him, the same gun found at the scene of the suicide. For a moment, he let it hang limp in front of him, as he pet Andrew’s hair, whispering comforts and kissing him on the head.
“Don’t worry Andrew,” he whispered. The television shut off, leaving the room in silence. He raised the gun to Andrew’s head. “You won’t go back with her. You and me… we’ll be together forever. Doesn’t that sound wonderful, Andrew?”
Andrew, who was too far buried against his father to notice the gun hovering an inch from his head, only nodded. The scene froze. Even Embry froze, and would find herself unable to move.
Tak, tak, tak
Gentle footsteps, heels against hardwood, approached Embry from behind. A figure stood next to her, staring at the father with his son. Out of her peripheral vision, Embry could see her. With that familiar outfit, it should have been their nanny; she’d recognize it anywhere. But the person in it was different. Pale skin, white hair, blue eyes that went deeper than the depths of the ocean… she was beautiful and immaculate, and if Embry could recall through the stress, the same woman from the pictures in the hall.
Nevyne would tilt her head at the scene, and then nod once. With a smile, she’d turn to the frozen Embry, and put something… heavy in her hand. Metal. She maneuvered Embry’s fingers as if she were a posable doll, closing her grip around what now clearly felt like a gun to the politician. She would then pat the woman's hand and turn back to face her father and brother, standing directly side-by-side the woman.
The scene would unfreeze, and Embry would be able to move once more, the gun in her hand loaded, cocked, and without a safety. If she spoke to the woman beside her, she would stand in silence and nod at the father and son before them. Her father’s finger was slowly dragging down the gun, towards the trigger.

Her eyes widened at Andrew. How could he be saying these things? He didn't really mean them..it was a dream. that was it...just a dream. That is what Embry tried to keep telling herself as the deafening sound of the television crowded her brain. She shook her head, a frown marring her face when suddenly there was silence. Her surprised look froze as what was happening in front of her came to light. A gun being pulled out, Embry wanted to move towards her father, to stop him from what he was doing, to scream, yell, something, anything. She couldn't do anything but be frozen in her skin.
The clicking of shoes distracted her momentarily and out of her peripherals she noticed a woman. Their nanny? No, she had on the outfit of their nanny but it wasn't her, it was someone else. Who was this lady? Embry recognized her from the paintings and became even more confused. She tried to move, without success, her thoughts screaming in her head when she felt cold metal pressed into her hand, her fingers wrapped around it, the mysterious woman patted her hand and stepped to stand beside her again. Embry felt herself able to move again, looking at what was in her hand.
She didn't really need to look to understand what it was, but her fear kicked in. She despised guns more than anything, particularly because of her fathers suicide. She looked up, watching as the man who hated her all her life moved his finger toward the trigger. He was going to shoot Andrew. Embry didn't know if this was really Andrew or not, but what if he shot her little brother and he died. Embry felt a whimper leave her lips as she looked at the gun, then the mysterious woman, and then her father and brother.
With shaking hands she took a couple steps forward. "I won't let you do this." Voice and hands shaking, Embry raised the gun and aimed it at her fathers head, her eyes wide and tears falling as she pulled the trigger.

Welcome to your
BANG!
The blood splattered from the back of her father’s dead like a horizontal rainstorm. Droplets slammed against the far wall, staining the paint with a deep red. The color then spread throughout the wall like a spilled drink on a countertop, repainting all four of them in that crimson hue. Her father’s lifeless body thud against the carpet, and it, too, caught the contagious red color.
“Dad? Dad!” Andrew cried as he turned to face his father’s body, but his voice sounded… distant. It continued to fade with his cries, until his voice was entirely muted. Red, dripping tendrils shot up around the two, pushing Embry away if she tried to get close. The folded over, forming a cagelike dome over the pair, and pulled them into the now-red carpet. All trace of them disappeared, along with the blood tendrils, leaving Embry alone in the red room with the goddess and the cats.
Nevyne took several dainty steps to the nearest couch, spun, and sat down, folding one leg over the other, and patting the couch next to her.
“Fantastic display, love!” She said with a polite smile. All the cats left in the room flocked to Nevyne; one leapt upon her head, and the others leapt… into it? And as more cats jumped into the black mass, a black creature with human teeth began to form atop her head, widening out until it was several times her size. She reached up to pet the beetle-like creature on his head with a happy hum.
“Come, sit down; don’t worry! Oppy won’t bite. He’s not really made of cats, either!” Her tone was casual and almost sing-song, as if this was just another day in her life. She waited patiently for Embry, to see what she would do now, to see how she may react. Ah, the show was always wonderful, but it was the meeting that truly completed the experience.

The sound of the gun caused Embry to flinch back a step as the blood coated the walls. She watched as her fathers lifeless body fell on the floor, frozen as Andrew's cries became distant and muted. The room was completely red by now and Embry blinked as red, gross looking things flew up from the floor, around her brother and her dead father. "No!"
Embry cried out, trying to push past the tendrils, getting covered in red as they pushed her back. Soon Andrew and her fathers body was gone and Embry fell to the floor on her hands and knees. "Andrew! Damn it!" Embry was so frustrated she barely registered she still held the gun as she stood up. The sound of the mysterious womans voice behind her caused her to jump a little, blinking she turned around, the gun falling from her hand to the floor.
Staring at the woman, Embry didn't register the thud as she was asked to sit down next to...whatever it was. Embry looked at her warily, mistrust on her face as she slowly moved over, sitting down, the ruffles on her dress puffing out as she did. Embry frowned, pushing them back down. Display? Embry looked up at the woman. "You are the one behind the nightmares?" Her voice was quizzical, cold. She was filled with rage and emotion at what had just transpired, betrayed by her still shaking hands. She looked at the person. If this was who was behind the whole thing, it would mean that...her eyes widened slightly. That the gods and goddess's really did exist.
"Why? Why did you do this? Where's my brother? Is he okay?"

Welcome to your
She snapped her fingers, and from the ground rose a dainty round table, with two cups, a warm pot of tea, and a bowl for sugar lumps. It was all silver, and each platter and cup was adorned with silvery engravings. She spoke to the woman without looking at her, focusing on pouring their tea.
“Your brother is fine,” she would say. “That wasn’t his real dreaming self. Sugar?”
What an interesting flavor, Embry’s favorite. She took a sip and pondered it, then added lump after lump of sugar with a pair of silver tongs, not stopping until she placed at least ten inside (after serving her guest first, of course). She took her time with everything she did, clearly in no rush to answer questions. She took a small sip of the tea. Ah! Much better.
“There are many reasons,” she would finally say with a smile. “Dreams and nightmares are curious things; art produced without consent, made with twisted memories, strokes of fear, and songs of deep desires. Even an analytical mind such as yours is capable of producing such art. So, to answer your question: Am I the one behind the nightmares?” She gave a dainty little giggle and took a sip of her tea. She rose the cup above her head and poured some into the toothy maw of the creature on her head. “Dearie, I simply took what your mind offered and gave you a different perspective. For example, you look darling in that outfit! You shouldn’t shy away from dresses as strongly as you do.”

Embry watched the table with the items on it rise from the floor, her eyebrows pulling together. She was still in a dream, so anything could happen, but it was still something weird to her. Her eyes looked back at the woman as she said her brother was fine, a breath of relief coming out as she leaned back a little. That her brother was fine was one of her biggest worries and she leaned back forward. "No sugar, please." Embry didn't like sugar in her tea and she took the offered cup, taking a sip, a surprised look came to her face. It was Darjeeling, her favorite. She looked at the cup, then took another sip, setting it down on the table and watched as the woman placed more than a few cubes of sugar in her tea.
Blinking, Embry listened to her when she finally talked. Art? This was art? Feeling her eyebrow twitch a little, she took another sip of her tea and nearly spit it out when the lady confessed that Embry herself shouldn't shy away from dresses as much as she does. "I would rather not wear...a dress." Her voice was a little tight and she took another sip, placing the cup down. So this lady was in charge, which would make her a goddess. Embry scanned her memory, trying to find her name. She knew there was some goddess of dreams but didn't really study anything like that, having always found it something better suited for children's stories, or those who wished to waste their time.
Finishing her cup of tea, Embry tilted her head. "So you did all this...for art?" Embry was trying to wrap her mind around it, but maybe she was still just dreaming. Maybe this wasn't real at all and there still was no such thing as goddess's. Embry could figure that maybe it was her mind trying to justify why she had such an emotional nightmare, but something about the woman in front of her, with a delightful look on her face, would not be something easily imagined by herself. "So...your a goddess?" Embry couldn't believe she just asked that, but getting all the facts was better than not knowing anything, and facts could help her figure out how to possibly get out of her own nightmare...and understand the situation she was in better.

Welcome to your
None? How quaint. Oh well, more sugar for her. She took another two lumps for good measure and sipped at her tea. She smiled with a satisfied hum as she listened to Embry. Her face twisted into an exaggerated pout.
“Not ever? I’m not sure why you find them so distasteful,” she said. “Curious, too; the little baker woman you dream about is often wearing one.” Nevyne flashed Embry a little wink. “That is, when she’s wearing anything at all, ahuhu~.”
She took the pot gently and refilled her cup, offering to top Embry off. Either way, she would then raise the teapot over her head and pour the contents directly into Opgraven’s maw. “One reason of many, my dear Embry. You’d be better off not trying to think too hard about the machinations of those beyond the mortal realm.” Once the teapot was emptied, she picked up the bowl of sugar cubes and tossed the entirety of it into Opgraven’s waiting mouth. Such a sweet tooth!
She only laughed at Embry’s question. “Dear, do not waste my time with rhetorical questions. You are a bright woman; if the answer is not yet clear, then it shall be shortly.” She snapped her fingers, and the table and tea set disappeared into the floor (with the exception of Embry’s cup and saucer, if she were not yet finished).
“As much as I would enjoy entertaining the endless fountain of questions you no doubt have welling within, it’s time for the final act of this play.” She waved her hand like a conductor directing an orchestra, and the scenery around them fall away, leaving only a black void, the two women, and the couch on which they sat. “Tell me, my dear Embry; if you could see into anyone’s dream, to see their mind lain out on a limitless canvas… who would you choose?”

The young politician sipped her tea while the woman in front of her talked. She finished it, finding herself rather calm, which was odd considering the circumstances, but Embry decided to roll with it and set her cup on the table, declining more tea. The woman fed the...whatever it was..on top of her head the pot of tea and Embry looked at the room around them, her thoughts moving. She forced her mind to stop wandering down paths to why this was happening, or who this woman was. But a goddess most certainly. Embry considered herself bright, and the thought made her pause for a moment. It was a fact she was going to have to accept, and the answer the woman gave confirmed it for her.
She blinked, jumping slightly when the table disappeared and black nothingness took the place of the familiar room. Embry lifted her knees up slightly, afraid to let her feet dangle a little and looked up, surprised at the question that the goddess had put before her. "Anyone at all?" Embry blinked, her eyebrows furrowing together. She couldn't believe she could look into just any one persons dreams. But this was also a goddess who had just captured thousands of people in nightmares. Embry wanted to walk, pace out her thoughts, but she didn't want to walk on a black void, the thought that there might truly be nothing there is what stopped her.
She could pick someone she liked, a rival, anyone. Kelri entered her thoughts for a moment before Embry shrugged that one off. No. This had to be beneficial to her. She would take another few minutes, rolling ideas around in her head. Not this person or that. The president came to mind, but that wouldn't help her out currently. Even the goddess before her was a possibility. But Embry was sure that wouldn't fly, and on top of that, she was sure she didn't want to know either. Finally she decided maybe someone close to her in her business would be good. Possibly Aiden or Maevia. She rolled these two around. Maevia had her secrets for a reason and Embry preferred to keep it that way.
Looking at the goddess, Embry had finally decided. Aiden Garnette." Embry paid for his room, he supplied her with information. But some more stuff on the ex hunter would help her out in figuring out where they were going to go from where they were at. There partnership wasn't as solid as Embry preferred and even though they had a good deal going, it wouldn't hurt to know a little more about Aiden. Embry nodded, confident in her decision.

Welcome to your
Nevyne’s brows raised ever so slightly at the name. “Ah, you are acquainted with Mr. Garnette? Hm hmm… How interesting! Very well, my dear Embry.” Nevyne would extend a dainty hand towards the politician, clearly expecting her to take it. She smiled and fluttered her eyelashes at the young mortal. “If you would, dear.”
And if she would, the darkness around them would give way to a scene, as if the void was their own personal movie theatre.
Fog swirls amid headstones under the full moon. Aiden is panting, running. Sometimes he stumbles, falls, gets up and runs once more. Is he trying to escape from some unseen foe? Unfamiliar cries echo from hidden sources. His breath is heavy, his sweat visible under the moon. Shadowed figures lie ahead, silhouettes of weapons visible in the shadowed light. Three of them, and then one figure painted clearly. A male magi with jellyfish-like features, cornered against the wrought iron gates of the cemetery.
“Aiden?” He cries out. The figures stop their advance. The look on Aiden’s face is now clearly one of rage, not fear. He is unarmed, but does not back away; instead he digs his heel into the ground and tenses, his hands ball into fists as he prepares to face the figures.
The ground shakes and trembles. Aiden and the magi look around at the ground, trying to determine what was going on. Bony hands emerge from the ground, shooting high before gripping down to the earth. One, two, five, a dozen hands pull half as many skulls from the ground. Slowly skeletons and zombies crawl from the earth, dirt cascading down rotted bodies and exposed bone. Slowly, they make their way towards Aiden, surrounding him. And just when they get within arm’s reach…
Nothing. The void returned.
Nevyne simply shrugged. “Ah, I might have guessed.” She clapped her hands twice, and the void shifted once more. Rather than take the young mortal back to the house of her nightmare, she brought them to a pleasant bluff overlooking Loch Perilleux. Birds sang in the afternoon sun, and a gentle breeze kept the temperature perfect. They were seated near the edge of the bluff, but not so close that they might fall off. Around them was a scene straight out of a painting; rock formations and greenery as far as the eye could see.
“You’ve been wonderful company, darling. Truly, you are such a polite young thing! I was beginning to wonder if manners were lost upon mortals entirely.” She hummed a short laugh and sighed. “Alas, I have other business I really must see to. You know how it is.” She gave the woman a wide, shark-toothed smile. “Please, feel free to relax for the rest of your slumber here. If you wish to jolt awake in your bed instead of enjoying a full night’s rest, simply walk on down to the water and put your foot in. The choice is yours, my dear.”
Nevyne would stand up and bow slightly, her arm across her chest (and Opgraven would try to mimic the motion as well as he could with his buglike leg). “I do hope to hear your voice at my shrines, Miss Delacroix. Until next we meet!”
She would poof suddenly into a cloud of black mist, which would dissipate in the gentle breeze almost as suddenly as it happened, leaving Embry to her own devices in the picturesque dreamscape.
