42 dreams - Action

[dreamsofnoah]

[A dark, vast cavern of nothingness, no walls visible in any direction.

The very centre of it is illuminated, not by candles for once, but by an unseen source of light. A gentle creaking fills the space as an old rocking chair moves gently backwards and forwards. Seated in the chair is a large man, glasses obscuring his eyes and his mouth frozen in a gigantic grin.

And in his lap a little girl with dark gray skin and golden eyes, crosses marking her forehead. She smiles as the chair continues rocking the two of them, and over the creaking a soft melody can be heard, Road humming the tune in time to the movements of the chair.]


((ooc: open for anyone to interact (the Earl won't be speaking to anyone). I'll treat each thread as a separate incident. She's also perfectly aware that she's currently inside a dream.))

I suppose so.

[dreamsofnoah]

[She's almost about to object to the cigarettes when the Earl leans down to whisper something in her ear. She grins.]

Tyki~. The Duke asks if Tyki-pet wants to sit in his lap too ♥

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

I doubt the Duke would appreciate the smoke.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Considering this is her dream, it's an actual possibility. The Earl resumes rocking the two of them in the rocking chair.]

They're not good~ for you. ...he says.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

Many things aren't.

[dreamsofnoah]

That's true.

[None of them were particularly good at staying away from things that were bad for them, after all.]

I wonder if this~ is trying to tell me something.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

You should know better than anyone else, shouldn't you?

[dreamsofnoah]

Hmm~, I do. It's so easy~ to pretend sometimes that you stop noticing you're doing it.

[An amused laugh before her next words.]

Home is where the Heart is.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

It might be one of them, here. Did you want to call this place home?

[dreamsofnoah]

[She shakes her head at that, still laughing.]

This place is even less than a dream for how much it really affects us. Nothing that happens here really matters in the end. They're there as well as here, and so are we.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

You make it sound as if you're not enjoying it.

[dreamsofnoah]

About as much as I enjoy everything, which is more~ than I should and less than the place deserves.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's less the place and more the company.

[dreamsofnoah]

Probably~.

[Shrugs even though she's smiling.]

The company's good enough for now~.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

Now's enough.

[dreamsofnoah]

Mmhmm~. I guess it is ♥
