*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."

Hans has been in stranger situations (the nexus, for example), but certainly some of the court and other peoples brought forth here today are more than his imagination would normally allow for.

Were it not for his lady love and her exposing him to worlds and things far beyond his wildest dreams.

But so it is that he seeks her out, after having enjoyed the play tremendously. He has for her a bouquet of calla lillies, along with a hug and kiss. "That was simply marvelous, my love."

[vicioussweetie]

It's hard to tell which of the things he's brought her Ali likes best, as she's so pleased to see him. The hug and kiss are happily returned.

"Thank you. I'm so glad you were able to come."

[hammerofhell]

He smiles. "As am I. Wherever did you find this play?"

[vicioussweetie]

"It was a gift from a very dear friend of mine. I would introduce you, but he's probably already left."

[chill_whispers]

"Darling," Sasha coos, stealing a fond embrace, "you have wrought a wonder!" She, too, has a bouquet of callas for her love. "Everything has been perfect!"

[vicioussweetie]

Yay hugs! Ali's returning hug is gentle and careful.

"Thank you for all your help, my love. I couldn't have done it without you."

[chill_whispers]

"It was as much my pleasure as yours, I promise," she purrs.

[vicioussweetie]

"Even better."

Happy as she is, Ali's also observant, and is taking this opportunity to study Sasha's face for signs of fatigue or stress or anything else that might be bad for her or the baby.

*Samus was a little late getting out to the reception, but she has a good reason: she's been sitting in the theater all this time, still marveling at the play. It's taken her this long to gather her thoughts enough to get up and go out to the lobby. She still looks a little awestruck.*

[hammerofhell]

Hans smiled at the sight of her, and went up to her for hugs and kisses (but not before informing Ali that he'd spotted her).

"It was quite incredible, was it not?"

[vicioussweetie]

Ali follows not long after, also wanting hugs and kisses.

"So? What do you think?"

[onemorebounty]

*Hugs and kisses for all!*

I--... it was... ki'ash vu avu'uk saal--I'm at a loss for words. It was incredible! Thank you for having me!

[discreet_valour]

*Somebody likes plays, and is practically giddy himself. The actors will have had to deal with cheerful shouts of:*

Encore un fois!

*...and the like. Aramis seeks out an Ali, beaming*

[vicioussweetie]

Ali's not hard to find. But it's certainly not because she's bouncing. Certainly not! That would be undignified, and far too schoolgirlish for her. And stuff.

...

Anyway, there she is, and when she sees Aramis he gets an enthusiastic hug.

[discreet_valour]

*If it's undignified, then musketeers certainly don't do it either. Ali will find her hug returned with enthusiasm, Aramis wrapping arms around her as if he hasn't seen her for years*

Ah! There you are! Merveilleux! A triumph, I do believe.

[vicioussweetie]

Ali smiles brightly at his praise, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it."
