[For Maria/Harumi] Summer nights

[redundncyarcher]

It's a warm night and between the warmth and the residual ache in his shoulder -- at last free of the sling -- Merlyn is having trouble sleeping. To say nothing of the dreams of Rebecca: she would have loved a place as quiet and rural as the Mansion, and she would have loved the character of the place. At length, he pushes back the covers and gets up to head downstairs, heading for the kitchen, to see if he can't find some painkillers, something strong enough to knock him out and keep him from dreaming.

He might be found rummaging in the cupboards, hair on end, clad in a lightweight dark blue silk dressing gown over a black tee shirt. In this light, he likely looks a bit frustrated...

Looking for a Maria: this could get hot and heavy.
