Minako slipped into a dream after a hard day's work. In her dream she could feel the sunshine on her face as she looked out into the ocean with a tropical drink in her hand and of course it had a cute little umbrella in it. It had been a dream of hers to go back on vacation to Palu’au Islands. This time she wanted to enjoy much more of the scenery, especially it’s beaches and the ocean. As she rustled in her sleep she imagined herself swimming along the reef and observing the beautifully coloured fish in the ocean she could sometimes feel them tickling her toes. Fast asleep she took in deep breaths of the tropical air. It was somewhat hot but at the same time refreshing and it had that salty taste to it. But one of her favorite smells was the tropical flowers found and some you could enjoy in cocktails. Her mouth made a little tasting sound as she could imagine what that hibiscus drink tasted like. Next she imagined herself soaking in the sun from a beachside working on her tan. Question was do elnins even tan with all that fur ? But in dreamland her fur shimmered with the sunlight. Her mouth started watering as she started to think about what she could enjoy for meals as the fresh fruits came in abundance as well as the coconut. But what was even better was fishing for your own meal. The fish might have been beautiful to look at with all their different colours but it was much better enjoyed on a plate. She just imagined what it would be like to set a fishing line and reeling in the fish. Then setting a fire by the beach and savouring the smell of cooking fish. Her mouth was watering and suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. “Get back to work Minako the jobs not done for today and please wipe that mouth of yours before you touch any fabrics, we wouldn’t want that to stain the delicate silk. “ Reality kicked in and she was back at the atelier and yeah she was indeed drooling and then she wondered what she was dreaming about.
