My dearest, your presence outshines the stars of my realm.
Yeah, not really sure what that means. Like the rest of it?
It means that your presence brightens my life, even in the darkest depths of my duties.
Babe? Can we talk about this?
Acksworl, you know that I am bound by duty to my realm. I cannot simply leave it unattended.
Yes... but... you promised me. Last night, you promised me you would be here tonight.
My dear, I am truly sorry for keeping you waiting. It was not my intention to break my promise.
How did you break your promise? By coming to see me after sunset?
No, my love, I did not come here merely to see you after sunset. I have important matters to attend to in my realm.
You should really do those more often.... or maybe I could help you. Surely you're not too busy to spend time with your mortal wife.
My dear, I understand your concern. But my duties are immense, and I cannot neglect them for any length of time.
... Fine. Have it your way.
Acksworl, please understand that my position comes with great responsibility.
Understand? Babe, I don't just understand. I know. I'm mortal. Just like everyone else you help.
You are right, my love. Mortals like you face the harsh realities of life every day, while I am bound to the realm of dreams.
That's what makes you special. And what makes me mortal. We balance each other out. So give me more than just empty words, show me you care.
Acksworl, if you insist on experiencing my care firsthand, I shall grant your wish. But be warned, mortal, the realm of dreams is not always kind.
Oh, sweetie. That's why I stay awake reading beside you while you sleep. When you have nightmares I'm here to comfort you. Do you know how many times I've spent hours holding you close because some fiend from your dreams disturbed you?
You truly are extraordinary, my love. Your devotion knows no bounds. Very well, let me show you the depth of my care.
All you have to do is ask, my king.
Then prepare yourself, my dear, for I am about to reveal a secret that has never been seen by mortal eyes.
What? A naked bodies fantasy? Cmon baby. Lets make it spicier than that.

My dearest, the Lord of Shadows has chosen to witness our love because it recognizes the power and strength that our bond possesses.
Then may it stay with us forever, my love.
As you wish, my love. Our bond shall endure for eternity, and the Lord of Shadows shall be our constant companion in the realms of dreams and nightmares alike. From this moment forward, let us embrace our eternal love and rule together over the dreamscape. kisses Acksworl passionately
