    Summary

    Hob is suddenly woken in the middle of the night by his spouse. Rue has had a very strange dream that they are somewhat distressed by. The two of them talk about it, and Hob shares a story from his past.

    It's all a little silly, but they both get to know each other a little better.

    Summary

    If Hob listened carefully, beneath the gentle din of the fairies around him, he could still yet hear the hum of magic, unspent beneath his feet. The soft, loamy soil sank beneath his weight. The grass hummed gently with every step he took. A song from the planet itself, it seemed, carrying him and those upon her surface with a merry melody. He tried to will the magic into his body. Perhaps the song of the world would give him the courage he had found he sorely lacked.

    As expected of all things fairy, the music only teased and flitted about him.

    No straight answers.

    No easy road.

    He would need to find the power within himself alone.

    Summary

    The ball held at the very height of the Bloom is a time-honored tradition, and as Mistrex of Ceremonies Rue has planned more of them than they can easily recall, and faithfully attended each one.

    In all that time, they have never danced.
