Janera was in the back, trying to get the place to somewhat manageable. She was trying to dedust the place but every time she turned around it got recovered. She heard the slightest sound from up front. “What could that be?” She muttered under breath. She she slowly made the way to the curtain, afraid to open it and see what was in the other side.
Turning back into a moth right before the curtain was open, Morpheus flew to the note on the table hoping janara would follow.
Janara opened the curtain to find a moth. A couple years ago she probably would have chased the moth away and possibly kill it. But today she followed after the moth to she if it was who she thought it was.
He landed on the note and waited
Janara spotted the note and picked it up, careful not to hurt the moth. She read it, and it confirmed her thoughts of who the moth was. “I’ll be there. I promise.” She whispered to the moth.
He flew towards her face, landed on her lips, and flew out the window towards the theater to get ready
Janara smiled after the moth left. She reread the note a couple of times before hugging it.
He flew to the theater to set up the film. He wanted to show her everything from his world, make her understand that she was apart of it as well.
Janara glanced at the clock on the wall, noticing that it was 1:45 and she should pry head to the theater.
"everything has to be perfect." he tilted his hat to the left and adjusted his tailcoat. "let the movie begin." at his cue, the lights went out and the path to the seat.
Janara headed out of the shop almost immediately. She took her time walking and looking at the scenery, wanting to give Morpheus the time he needed. Janara arrived outside the theater. She looked down at her watch to see that it was 1:59, so she slowly made her way into the theater.
All lights were out, from somewhere above Morpheus called out "good to see you janara, so you got my letter?" The hall lights came on and guided her to her seat.
Janara followed the lights to her seat. “I did get it.”
"pleas sit my dear," out of no where, food and beverages popped up, 'get comfortable show will begin soon." Unusually nervous, Morpheus fixed his hat for the millionth time. it would be the first time she would see him in person since they met.
Janara cautiously took a seat watching food and beverages appear.
The story began, wonders not from this world danced and appeared around her. While she watched, Morpheus conjured phantom hands to slip around her shoulders. Netherlings danced and twirled, magic sparked and shined, he had made this little place a magical wonderland, all for her
Janara sat in awe. She had heard the stories from Alyssa many times but never imagined it to be like this. She jumped a little when she felt something touch her shoulders.
"do not be afraid love, you know me, you've felt my presence. Give in, give into your deepest desire, be my queen, not wonderland's queen but mine." Morpheus slowly walked down the isle towards Janara,her back to him, speaking in a low, honey sweet tone.
Janara turned around to face Morpheus. “What am I doing here?” Her voice was sweet and curious.
Morpheus gave out a low laugh "drinking tea with Maddington hatter? Or pissibly In the garden on living flowers? Heck even in queen Ivy's castle having dinner, who know but you my dear." His gems on the his face turned dark blue, a sign for longing and want. His dark wings ruffled "Thank my friends, absolutely spectacular as always." He dismissed the performers, and waved an elegant hand. A table with tea and food appeared in the center of the stage along with a scene of a moon lit night but it looked wild and foreign but still breath taking, like it was from another world. Morpheus offered Janera a hand and helped her on stage.
Janara cautiously, but happily, took Morpheus’ hand. She followed him up onto the stage. “But I mean why did you bring be here?”
Morpheus sat her down in the chair, kneeled in front of her and took her hand in both of his. "To show you who and what I am, to show that I'm not everything Alyssa says I am though most of it true. Mainly to show you I'm not the monster most think I am." Morpheus brought her hands to his lips and placed a gentle kiss that sent shivers down his spine. No one, not even Alyssa made him feel that way, sure he's made others feel that way, he knew cause he saw it their face but janara was the first to make him feel more than mutual feelings.
