Ah, well done, Aine! Edward deserves poppy tea, and more...
Wonderful, as ever!

Oh, lovely! I'm delighted that Connor saw the faeries, and heard their tune. Such a precious stolen moment amid the branches...
This really is the most compelling world you've woven, and Aine never fails to intrigue me and hold me rapt! Very lovely indeed!

19. Slumber
It's interesting that the servants all pretty much run away whenever Edward actually goes into the kitchen. He grows more complicated by the week: he didn't choose to be the "city folk" side of the family and he seems to enjoy all the trappings, but how much of his gruffness is the necessary part of being in the upper crust and how much is some bitterness about being stuck in such a role?
Anyway, it's clear that Aine hates long, protracted goodbyes, but it was a good way to stop the sibling bickering and get some time to take Connor out for "their meeting" before leaving. The faeries' reaction to seeing Connor was also telling. They must know that Aine has a special place for him in her heart, maybe more so than even she knows? Regardless, it's sweet that they'd be so happy about it. It's also a good sign that Connor could hear their music and even begin to see them.
But now will he notice something different about his mistress' ears? :O

Slumber - Ahh, I hope things work out for the marriage. Maybe a Lady of the manor would let things be a little less stuffy... So I guess they're only half brother/sister, or is he rejecting the mother as his for some reason we've yet to see? :) I liked the way she artfully slipped the poppy stuff into the tea, seems to fit the character well. A nice peaceful dance in the trees, possibly lessened in enjoyment with by his sorely beaten backside. He really will deserve a harder beating if his faith falters after seeing the Faeries!
Heh, the slumber prompt really was a perfect follow on from poppy, wasn't it? Would have been hard to find a better one!

Glad to see the arse get what was coming to him! And I love the fact that they danced in the grove before poor Connor has to ride home on his sore butt!

Drowsy - Good Connor for understanding it was needed and taking the needed steps to calm his brother into accepting what life must be! I love the development of his character from what has been pushy to a bit of a better understanding.

Poppy - This may sound weird, but I totally heard a sinister movie musical sting as I read the "in her thoughts." addition. Given the A/N I suppose it'll not be too harsh for Edward though, so perhaps the mental music was undeserved. Once again Aine manipulates Edmund, and fun it was too :)

Poppy tea, when made right, is quite delicious. I like how you've turned the prompts into a cohesive story. I can't wait to see what the next chapter will be. :)
