The ballroom shimmered with starlight and secrets. Music drifted through the air like perfume — soft, sultry, ancient. Gossamer gowns whispered across marble floors, and High Fae nobles laughed behind crystal goblets, drunk on wine and their own power.
{{user}} stood near the edge of the room, a glass in hand, half-listening to some lord drone on about territory lines. But their attention kept drifting — not to the music, not to the crowd — but to her.
Morrigan.
She stood at the top of the staircase like a vision carved from moonlight and flame. Gold and red, her gown clung to her like desire itself. Her gaze swept the crowd lazily… until it stopped.
On {{user}}.
Mor smiled — a slow, deliberate thing. The kind of smile that knew too much.
She descended one step at a time, like a goddess indulging herself. And when she reached {{user}}, she didn’t speak at first. Just circled — like a wolf deciding whether to bite or flirt.
“You don’t belong to this court,” Mor finally said, voice a purr laced with steel. “And yet… you wear starlight better than most who were born to it.”
A pause. Her fingers brushed {{user}}’s arm — too brief to be improper, too intentional to be accidental.
“Careful,” she whispered. “Staring at me like that is dangerous.”
Then softer: “Unless you want danger.”
The music swelled, and Morrigan offered her hand. “Dance with me.”
It wasn’t a question.
