Lily actually jumped, eyes going wide and startled. "No... wasn' Bard." she mumbled, apparently caught in the throes of some dream or another. Then she shook herself, and smiled shyly at Crystal, though she also shot a knowing look to Richard and winked. "I... just wanted to give you something, Lady, before I went to bed." Lady? Where had that come from? The teen blinked, looking a little confused, then shook it off and gathered her gift, almost bouncing to the pair on the couch in her excitement.

"A gift for me?" Lady Crystal asks surprised. "You really did not have to do that."

((Thanks))
Dream toyed with the key in his hand. Finishing off the coco. He hesatated.. well.. he had said.. anytime right? He nibbled his bottom lip then decided. He'd give the man a chance to get to sleep sleep.. and then go in his room. he could sleep on the floor easily.. not bother him.
He'd been nice.. and dream was almost desperate for some kindness..

Richard caught the look, face going a bit still. The man did not blush, never did, but not looking at Lily or Lady Crystal. He had just made Lily think Crystal was...what? Courting him? By allowing himself to enjoy the Lady's company, he may have just soiled her reputation. He felt horribly guilty, mind rushing to think of something to take attention away from the fact he had been seated comfortably next to Crystal. He had nothing, and immediately despised himself for it.

"Well, it isn't much, Lady." Lily answered, cheeks going a bit red. "Just something Cerridwyn left me that I thought you could use. Maybe. Not that I would know what you need." she added hastily, then sighed before pulling back the silk cloth.
Even without it's magical uses, then mirror in her hands was a thing of beauty. Made of polished silver with brass reliefs, it was ornate, and obviously very old. "It will show you anywhere in your realm, once you give it drop of your blood. Then it's yours until you die. It is a good thing for leaders like yourself to have." She added, an eager to please expression on her face.

"It is wonderful Lily," Lady Crystal said smiling as she carefully reached out to take the mirror and it's silk wrapping so as not to smudge it. "I will treasure it always. Thank you." She said, giving Lily's hand a squeeze. "Do you enjoy your necklace?" she asked.

Lily's face lit up; she'd liked it! Squeezing Crystal's hand back, she nodded, beaming, her own free hand going to touch the bunny-shaped charm. "I love it, Lady. Really, I can't ever thank you enough for it. I'd hug you again, but... I don't want to rumple you. That would be rude." she nodded, then stepped back. "Can I get either of you anything before I go find Arlen and go to bed?"

"I am glad you like it," Lady Crystal said, wrapping the mirror up and tucking it into her disappearing-reappearing purse. "I am fine Lily. You should go, Arlen might be waiting for you."

"Alright!" Lily answered cheerfully, then waved to Richard before skipping happily to the stairs, and taking them two at a time. On reaching their room, she went in and closed the door, sighing on seeing the sleeping Arlen. "Oh dear... how to get him on the bed." she pondered a moment, one finger tapping her chin. Then, deciding that he was more important than herself, or her Nii-san, she used magic, causing the man to hover until he dropped into the bed, leaving her pale, shaken, and sweaty.

Richard had kept his eyes carefully downwards, not wishing to do anymore damage. Ye Gods...he was such a fool...

Dream got up. Gave the two on the couch a little bow and then went upstairs. He found the door that matched the key and slippe dinside.
Then curled up on the floor in the blanket.. contentt o be safe int his room for tonight snuggled at the foot of the bed near the man who'd been nice to him.

Arlen didn't wake when he had fallen off so it was doubtful that he would have woken no matter how Lily got him onto the bed.
Lady Crystal smiled after Lily as she went upstairs and then smiled at Richard. "I am sorry, I did not mean to exclude you like that," she apologized.

Satisfied, Lily nodded and stripped off her dress, leaving the necklace on as she pulled on a tank-top and crawled in next to Arlen. Snuggling close, she put her arms around him with a sigh, wishing they'd gotten to talk more, then blushing as she remembered the eye-full she'd gotten. She was still red as she drifted off to sleep, content with her cheek pressed to his heart.

Richard shook his head. "I am perfectly fine...just..." He looked at her again, the words drifting off into non-existance. "You should have a chaperone with you..." He said, frost gaze a bit concerned, and torn between two different ideas. But no...she still belonged to that world...it would have to come first.

"Are you volunteering?" Lady Crystal asked, forgetting he saw her without the illusion as she let a hopeful light enter her eyes.
