When Elion's consciousness finally returned, the first thing he noticed was that his head was resting on an impossibly soft pillow.
Still half asleep, he moved his idle hands and began feeling up the strange pillow beneath him. "Wow… this pillow is so soft," he muttered.
His ears were immediately graced by the soft chime of a smooth giggle.
"I always knew you were a pervert, but touching me inappropriately immediately after waking up, with your eyes still closed no less?" a familiar voice teased. "Have you no shame?"
"Hmmm?"
Elion slowly opened one eye and looked up, only for his vision to be blessed by the sight of the palest and one of the most beautiful faces he had ever seen.
Then there was her hair, which had suddenly changed from the familiar raven black to a pure shade of white.
"Celeste…" Elion said with a smile.
The two stared at each other affectionately.
"Hello, sleepyhead," she responded smoothly, bringing both hands forward to hold the sides of his head.
