Do I have a fever? I feel so warm.
Elain looked up from her book as Lucien’s voice caught her ear, quiet as a whisper, but she heard it. Indeed, it was quite warm for Autumn, but the vacation house which the whole throttle of them were visiting was quite near to the border of summer. It did nothing to help that Lucien insisted on wearing dark colors in the bright sun.
That doesn’t mean deep purple isn’t his color — she flushed, but it wasn’t very practical. She paused her lackadaisical pacing, raising a single eyebrow over the brim of her new novel. “Warm, you say?”
Like morning birds, both of them were awaiting the rest of the household to rise for a day of activities. “Are you sure you aren’t just chickening out because we’re going to spend a day at a farm and animals always get along with Tamlin better than you?”
Hearing his grumble was enough to prove her point, still, Elain sat down on the edge of the elegant chaise where Lucien lay dramatically with his arm covering his eyes. She bared her wrist and pressed it to his deep brown forehead.
“Feels fine…” She began softly, but drew back as he moved his arm and she found herself looking into his amber eyes. Oh — good gracious!
Smooth as a fox. Elain’s cheeks heated. She could hear the upstairs floor creaking as the others began to wake. There was never any privacy here. He always managed to catch her unguarded.
Elain stood up, backing away from the couch, and tripping over her own feet — towards the kitchen. “I should really…start breakfast.”
Her reasoning did not convince herself, but she quickly busied her hands all the same. She wasn’t about to be caught with her hands in his hair, or cauldron knew where else she wanted them. She began chopping fruit and Lucien silently fell into step behind her. They worked well as a team.
Tamlin walked down the stairs and into a kitchen filled with heat that was not warm from the oven. He locked eyes with the both of them, noticing immediately that they would not look at each other.
He wordlessly pointed to the stairs and left the room, shutting and locking the door to the kitchen with his magic.
It was warm.
Very warm indeed.

Nero stood on the porch of her estate (because of course the emperor had gotten an entire estate for herself in the Garden), scanning passersby in search of someone that might be able to help her with this project she was working on. After several moments, her grassy-green eyes settled upon a promising figure. “You there! The fox!” Nero strode right up to Ash. “I am Emperor Nero Claudius, and I have a task for you!”

It's after midnight and you stumble off the main road and though the underbrush, miles outside of any towns; the light of the winter stars your only guide as you follow the beckoning of a single, silvery, lilting voice drifting ahead of you--it hangs in the air like a cool mist, a gentle embrace, and compulsion drives you until you can begin to catch glimpses of its source through the trees.
What do you do?
