I’ve been having some Siron 3.0 and Ester thoughts so I shall leave them here for y’all.
Siron is used to strange dreams that toe some line between reality and the machinations of his unconscious mind; therefore, walking into a lovely greenhouse where the flora is too saturated is not outside his normal. The strangeness begins while he is inspecting the plants he’s never seen before, when a woman with dark hair streaked with grey rounds the corner. He is used to being ignored in these dreams, often a passive observerof someone else’s dreams, but the woman smiles and greets him like she is aware and unbothered by his presence.
She must see the look of confusion that passes over his face at this, as she lets out a quiet chuckle.
Before he knows it, Siron is pruning the strange plants with her falling into a soothing rhythm. The rest of the dream is a haze, like the memory of a warm blanket when you wake up on a cold winter day.
These sporadic dreams continue for some time, as time passes the locations and number of dreams vary, but the woman remains as a constant hazy memory.
Eventually when Siron's skill in magical creation is great enough, he crafts an automaton in the likeness of the woman who walks his dream.
Of course Ester knows of this, she finds a quiet humor in her tinkerer who creates in her name while thinking her nothing more than a figment of his dreams. And if she blesses his creation with a bit of her guiding magic to lead her craftsman to where he needs to be, that is between her and the stars.
