Her smile became even more amused, and then wicked, and she held him out at arm's length to study him. "Ludicrous garments; and yet they are lovely on you. My steed has an eye for aesthetics, whatever her other failings." She smiled and squeezed his fingers, then laced hers with his. "And how goes your host? Puck has spent some moments subduing his mount. The others seem well. Doth he sleep?"

'No, he damn morewhodding well does not sleep!' Xander tried to say, but nothing made it out of his mouth, and even in his head, all that penetrated the blanket of green was eep!. And Niall laughed at him. Tolerantly, which made it worse.

"He bides awake, and rails amusingly at his plight, but is undamaged by it."

"Good. We have an honored guest here tonight." Titania kept her voice low. "Dream watches our revels. He has agreed to bide, but should these children suffer at our hands, I think he will break time and sovereign rule to thwart us. Have a care; I should not like the outcome, I think, were he to interfere."

"What plot is it of yours that he might break apart?" Niall asked her, his voice also low, mouth twitching into a grin. "You find me as ever your servant in all things, but I admit to curiosity at just what it is we play at here."

"To play the lover, in full sight of my husband, who plays at Oberon." Her lips turned up in an evil smile. "He did start this shadow play; and if he does not like our mouthing sweet nothings before a mortal world, he should have stayed within our realm. You need not fear him. You know you have Our protection." Her voice went commanding and regal.

Niall bit Xander's lip, his grin gone from tiny to wide. "I fear thy husband not, my lady, for ever you have had the better of him, king or no. But even if twere so and I did cower before his might, t'would be worth the risk for the sharing of thy company. We make our way through Master Will's fair tribute, then, in the faces of these children, until such time as that scene should appear?"

"Exactly," she purred. "You did ever know Our mind, Niall. And we keep within the bounds of courtesy, in sight of the human audience." She leaned forward, and bestowed a lingering, slow kiss upon his mouth. "What comes after, I leave to your memory and imagination."

"The last is boundless when it comes to you, lady," he assured her when she pulled away, his eyes alight with mischief, "and the first shall keep me warm company through the night, while I wait my turn to share the boards with you."

Titania smiled again, amused but becoming more remote, then said, "The show begins; our places we must take. What warm company we anticipate, will wait upon our privacy. Until then, Niall." She trailed her fingers up his bare arm, over his shoulder, then let them drop away as she departed.
