Sev and an argilah - absolutely! Really love the idea of him being able to relax and clear is mind in a deligtfully organic way. Smiling like the Cheshire Cat!

What a nice picture you paint, ASID! It really does sound blissful, and so wonderful that you gave him some needed time to relax and unwind. Well done!

Oh fantastic!  You have no idea how happy I am that you took this - and worked such magic with it.  I particularly like that in the end what he pondered was nothing at all - just relief for a few hours.  And the barefeet relaxing on carpet was such a human touch.  Excellent!  AV

Add a back rub or better a feet rub and it's heaven.

I can see him doing this to relax.  Nicely done.

Thanks for giving the poor man some nice alone time.

Ah, don't we all love our alone time?

Oh what a nice evening for him. I like the detail you put in about the argilah. It makes it seem relaxing. I can so see Severus in this. Good job.

Interesting.  The descriptions you use bring to mind a very specific picture.  Sara

It definitely sounded like you knew what you were talking about! :)

Heh heh.  I don't know why I didn't read this when it first posted.  It's definitely a keeper.  I love the way he savors his creature comforts.  I like this scene of contentment.
