Lucius The door opened wide, a different looking boy who was a mix of stars and space and form holding it open. "Come in! There's a fire and I can get some tea ready."

She stared, that being the last thing she expected to find. She took a step back, staring. "H-hello." she greeted quietly. "Im sorry to bother you. Are there any others here?"
A big fellow with large wings and a propensity for immense words maybe?
Of course, she didn't say THAT. Rather she was looking at the person carefully. Who...or what was he?

Lucius He grinned, "Oh, of course there is. Lord Harmodius-" His grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside. The man from her dreams was there, further in, iron snaking from his fingers and forming a spiral stair. He looked over at the boy's speech, "Don't man-handle Chaeval, Lucius."

She had hitched her breath when he had grabbed her, but seeing Harmodius there took that breath and shoved it elsewhere.
"It's you." she said, inanely.

Ivy (( chaeval Wrote: "It's you." she said, inanely. rofl)) Harmodius let his hands drop and followed the motion with a bow, his wings extending their tips to the floor, "Lady. I welcome you to our shop. I am Harmodius, and this is Lucius." Lucius grinned widely next to her, watching his lord. "Isn't he something?"

She seemed flustered. No, she WAS flustered. What the hell had she gotten herself into this time? It always had to be something or other, didn't it.
She tried to bow, botched it, and just settled for a nod. "Hello. Again, I guess. I didn't expect to see you here."
That made her previous comment seem intelligent. Why else would she have come except to see him?

Ivy "And is waking from the dream as exciting as the dream itself? Or shall this be the dream, Lady?" Harmodius straightened, smiling warmly. "Please, come in.....of your own accord, and you can get warm. We may speak of light and sky."

"Enter freel and of your own will?" she quoted a bit bleakly. "How did you know to inhabit my dream?"
It seemed a foolish question. How else could he have built a staircase from nothing? She was obviously delusional, or among things so far beyond her ken...that it was beyond her ken.
Lame. Lame. LAME.
"You're rather confusing." she said. "Or I am."

Ivy "I merely meant of your own will and *not* Lucius'. Will you?" He motioned to the seats nearby, in the same set up as her dream. "Ask what you may, that I may alleviate your confusion." Lucius padded off to the kitchen swiftly, calling back, "Coffee, tea, cider or chocolate!?"

"Tea." she said, not sure if he'd hear her. Her voice sounded awfully small of sudden. "i don't think it's what you say, so much as how you do. You've rather an archaic turn of phrase. It's like listening to Shakespeare."

Ivy Were all those anime real life, she was sure he just would have been emoting a sweatdrop. Harmodius blushed, then laughed. "I am sorry. I have never noticed it myself." "Is it very difficult? I can attempt something.....more modern?"

She relaxed a bit more visibly, the flush on his cheeks letting her know that at least he was able to be shaken as she herself felt.
"No, it's not that so much as just different. It seems rather fitting. But, this is all a bit scary." and exhiliarating. "I-when weird things happen, it's normally not good. So...it's scary."

Ivy "The fear respose applies to both eustress and distress, I beleive, " He looked thoughtful, "Is it not so in your mind science?"

"Fight or flight." she laughed a bit, defensive. "I guess so. But fear is still fear, isn't it?"

Quote: "Yes, it is still the same." Lucius came over with her mug and set it down next to her. Another he gave to Harmodius. Then off again to the reaches of the building. Harmodius watched only briefly, then sipped his tea, "At least there is familiarity. And I assure you there will be no unexpected jaunts through the fireplace."
