OOM: Into the dreaming

[awesome_lilly]

It's been a while.

Lilly hasn't consciously avoided the woods. It's just that, well, for a while there was nothing back here, and then with the sceptre she found other ways to get between worlds.

But now, after talking to Coop, she's been reminded that there's a world here, and it has a Lord, and she hasn't spoken to him in some time.

Lilly passes the Caribbean inlet with a single longing look and heads straight into the woods, walking until that spot where everything blurs, for a second, and she's not in the woods anymore.

She's not in the woods any more.

It takes some time (but how much time?) for the trees to fade, and well before then a path resolves itself among them, and the sunlight that filters through seems to point the way.

And it is no time at all before the path emerges into a clearing, and in that clearing is a table, and on that table are three limes, a knife, a small cutting board, two shotglasses, and a bottle.

The Lord of Dreams sits with an elbow on the table, flames licking up his lapels, legs crossed, waiting.
