Slee

Slee is a Lantern Follower. He is scholarly and loves poetry, and is crippled by chronic headaches.

Slee, a believer

Slee speaks earnestly of his theories to all who will listen: the stars as tiny wounds, and the Sun as a haemorrhage of glory. His poetry is more eccentric than ever.

Romance:

Slee can be romanced at Streets Strange by Moonlight.

The light is silver; the breeze is cool; the night's silence invites words as dark velvet invites a finger's touch.

- Invitation description

For a moment Slee looks as alarmed as if I'd suggested a surgical intervention. Then he nods, earnestly. 'I wonder what will happen,' he says.

- Followup description

Slee, it transpires, has prepared a poem dedicated to me. It's very flattering. But it does go on. Kissing him is an effective way to curtail it. @

- Success description

Invariably Slee comes armed with poetry. Sometimes I'm in the mood for poetry. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something else.

- Season description

Ever After

Our home is littered with his notes. They touch upon the grandnesses of love, of birth, of everything. Among them we laugh at limericks and fall drunkenly to bed. When we wake, we are cocooned, warm in the crooks of each other. Sometimes I nudge a scrap of paper out from the coverlet. Sometimes I let it stay. [This might be considered a victory. But the House is no place for lovers.]
