sweet dreams till sunbeams find you, sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
The wind stills just slightly, and the stars above Aumakua flare with a pulse so subtle it might’ve been imagined. But for those attuned to celestial patterns—especially her children—it’s unmistakable.
There is no grand display, no herald of flame or fanfare. Safrin arrives like dusk creeping across the sea, stepping out from the folds of the lighthouse shadows as if she had always been there, waiting just beyond perception. Her presence shifts the shrine from quiet reverence to electric intimacy, like a secret suddenly shared.
Barefoot, hair braided with starlight and shadows alike, she moves with all the serenity of a goddess and none of the distance. The light from the newly kindled candles glows across her face as she approaches, but her expression is unreadable—sharp and soft all at once, celestial beauty forged in gravity and affection.
"Vesper," she murmurs, voice rich and low, a smile tugging faintly at one corner of her mouth. Her fingers reach out, cool and sure, to gently brush the side of his face, then slide beneath his chin to tilt it ever so slightly upward. "They suit you," she notes, and though her tone holds no prideful boast, the approval in it is unmistakable. "But one thing at a time, mmm?"
Vesper has been given a quest! He must:
1. Complete a training thread using his shadows
2. Use his shadows to make something easier
3. Use his shadows to make something harder
4. Go somewhere where there are hardly any shadows and see how it affects things.

but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me
