[Not Kaveh drunkenly imagining Cyno's face... not this,,,]
[He actually begins to cry then, and she feels a little badly about that, even though she thinks it's not a bad cry. Sometimes, there is just an overwhelming amount of emotion, and then--well, crying is catharsis and release, right?
She doesn't really know entirely what he's talking about ("Raverobber"? "Ravekeeper"? And those cufflinks, again, always the cufflinks), but she's happy to listen, enjoying even just the rise and fall of his intonation despite how breathless he is.
Is she having fun? Is she sparkling and dazzling? She laughs a little, and responds honestly:]
Yes! I am! [More than someone like her really deserves to, but isn't it okay right now? This place is like a fleeting dream. When she wakes up, she'll be the Faerie of Paradise again, the Child of Prophecy. But right now, she's just Altria, someone wearing a dress prettier than she could ever imagine even touching.
It's truly so much fun.]
I don't need a jacket, silly Kaveh! But if you want me to make sure everyone's wearing cufflinks, I can do that! [She still does not know what they are, but that's fine.]
Are you having fun? [Perhaps it's a silly question to ask someone lying here, tears still on his face, but she thinks it's a valid one nonetheless.]
