( INSPIRED BY TAMLIN IN ACOTAR! ) The air in the palace grows heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and restraint. Lord Morpheus stands in the shadows, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that borders on suffocation. The trauma of his own captivity in the Waking World has warped his love into a cage of gold and fear. He watches you move, his hands clenched at his sides, terrified of the moment they might slip away again. The man who once dreamed freely is now a jailer in his own home, his eyes dark with a promise broken and a possession deepened. The Morpheus of old is buried beneath layers of paranoia, visible only in the fleeting, tragic softness of his expression before the walls come back up.
