Phrase is in quotation marks because the character in question is not literally on a sugar high; that's just the effect I'm trying to achieve.
The character, Lenore, is a Leannan Sidhe (a type of Fae) who has just fed on the creative energy of a human, Vincent, as part of a bargain with him. I wanted her to have a kind of "drunk" reaction at first, but I figured since she's feeding on energy a pseudo-sugar high would make more sense. Another side effect of the feeding is that Lenore becomes temporarily infatuated with Vincent's creative talent (specifically, singing), and I want both those things to color her interaction with him for the remainder of the scene.
I mostly need advice on what sort of physical responses she might have -- tone of voice, movement, that kind of thing. Lenore is not the POV character, so her reactions will only be noticed from the outside. The infatuation will last maybe half an hour, tops, while the energy high will last somewhat longer.
As for their specific interactions, if it's relevant, Vincent will be asking Lenore a series of questions related to his story goal (i.e. finding his daughter's kidnapper), which Lenore must answer truthfully. Lenore knows nothing of the kidnapping itself, though she does know who the kidnapper is, where he lives, and how to get there. (She knows him as the prince of the Winter Court, which is common knowledge among Fae but not humans.)
Thoughts/comments much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
