"With your astonishing and incredible assertion that Luke is vain," he says drily. "Really I never knew that and could never possibly have guessed." His eyes pop in (this time genuine) wtf. Catered to?!"
"Well, there are dream snares, obviously, although I would have to send for that as it would need an Ojibwa shaman to smudge it properly, or a wu lou calabash gourd, or you might like a tameemah, as they're pearl and bone, and we could certainly try enchanting a garnet in a pyramid shape, or putting a nightmare trap on a mirror." His eyebrows raise. "Certainly, except that it would keep going after you fell asleep. The idea is to keep a bit of your mind occupied by sounds which make sense and require interpretation but no action, and so interfere with its tendency to throw things at you in sleep. It works rather well, if you let."
Severus nods. "That's normal," he sighs. "That's why I wanted to work with Belby from the start. They're hurt physically in the transformations, and then we ostracize them and prevent them having normal lives--make them second-class citizens if that. Werewolf Registry, good god. Of course they want to strike out. That's how the damned goblin rebellions started, and the goblins couldn't make more of themselves on a pyramid scheme. I'm for almost anything which makes their lives easier and ours safer from them!"
Severus gives Rus a token pat on the back for his dramatic choking. He hands Rus the dice, murmuring, "Does that mean I'm supposed to do well now, or what?"
I'm positive. n,n;;; I'm surprised they gave him a name like Qui-gon, then... Well, she seems fine, but her white count is doubled and they think she might have either cancer or the kitty version of Crohn's. :( Seth. He probably should have put that on his card, but it's what his dad and the muggles called him when he was a kid, and he doesn't like it much.
