“Kinda funny.”

“We need to speak to the Eagle Elders.”

“I know.”

“Let’s go seem them right now.”

He stood. “Now? As in now, now?”

“Do you really think I’ll be able to sleep tonight, much less do anything sexy, if I don’t know what will happen?”

He paled. “You’re right. We can head there now.”

“A fucking egg,” she shook her head.

“Cas, I’m sorry.”

She looked at him and stood to wrap her arms around his neck. “Don’t be sorry, this isn’t bad… just different.”

His aura lightened. “I love you.”

“I know,” she said, watching the gold cover his aura.

“This is the part where you’re supposed to say, ‘I love you too’, remember?”

She placed a hand over his heart. “I know because I can see it.”

He exhaled. “Okay, let’s go talk to the assholes.”

“Then head back home. No offense to anyone else, but I need some quiet time after this afternoon.”

“Maybe some Eion-made, top-notch snacks, and Minecraft?”

She jumped up and down. “A new world play through?”

“Of course.”

“Sounds perfect.”

As they were leaving she looked up at her mate. “Can we decorate the egg?”

He frowned and didn’t answer.

She’d take that as no.

They were now standing in a beautiful white marble courtyard built into the canopy of the city’s central tree. From this height, you could easily see colored ribbons indicating flight paths to other treehouses high off the ground.

“Kinda stuffy, isn’t it?” Brie asked, looking around.
