*Morpheus' expression is rarely an indication of his opinion on a subject. This is, however, one of the rare occasions; his approval is visible.*

[vicioussweetie]

Hopefully he also approves of hugs, because he's getting one just as soon as Ali finds him.

"Thank you."

[somany_names]

*This is one of those instances where he'll allow it.*

You have made of this work all that I might hope. Thank you.

[vicioussweetie]

Ali blushes, happily surprised by the praise.

"So no thousand years of nightmares for me then? That's a relief."

[somany_names]

No, there shall be no nightmares for this.

[vicioussweetie]

"Thank you again. I'm so glad you came."

She's tempted to hug him again, but doesn't want to press her luck in public.

[somany_names]

I would not have missed it.

[vicioussweetie]

"Even better. Will you be staying for a while, or must you return to your realm?"

[somany_names]

I cannot tarry much longer. I wished to express my pleasure before my departure.

[vicioussweetie]

"I understand. Thank you again."

...aw heck, she can't contain herself. But he doesn't get another hug, probably much to his relief.

He gets a kiss on the cheek instead.

"I'll come and visit you soon."

[somany_names]

*Hard to tell what he thinks of that. He's cagey like that. But he's not irritated, so it's good.*

I shall look forward to it.

[vicioussweetie]

Not irritated is as good as giddy, with him.

"Me too. Be well, darling."

Ali steps back, gives a little wave, and then turns to attend her other guests.
