The queen’s smile faltered. “Excuse me?”
“Like if I give it to her can she absorb it and make it look like something else, then bring it back when I need to dick swing?” Meryn explained.
The queen stood speechless.
Brennus rubbed his chin. “That’s actually a very good question.”
“Should I try? Would y’all get mad if I lose it?” Meryn pulled the crown off and held it to her chest.
Kendrick’s expression looked eager. “I’d love to see what happens.”
The queen sighed. “You would.”
Brennus nudged her. “It’s yours now, try it and see.”
Meryn closed her eyes and imagined the crown melding with her dress to become a bandana style headband.
“Blue right?” she heard Kendrick asked.
“Is it a bandana?”
“It is,” he confirmed.
She opened her eyes, then thought of her gold robes that auntie liked and her crown. Seconds later she even felt taller in her calf wrapped boots. “How do I look?”
Magnus reached for her hand and kissed it. “Ethereal.”
“Like the biggest swinging dick!” Pip announced.
Meryn giggled so hard she couldn’t breathe.
“Oh dear,” the queen said, covering her mouth as she smiled.
Meryn when she could take air into her lungs, switched back to her jeans, hoodie and bandana. “Pip, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
Pip hugged her arm. “We’ll never know.”
“I have missed this more than I realized,” Micah confessed.
“Now, Meryn. With that crown, what would you say to the Witches’ Council if they try to detain you?” the queen asked.
Meryn thought about it, then repeated that cool phrase Kendrick taught her in ancient.
Brennus palmed his face.
Kendrick laughed.
“Denka!” Ryuu exclaimed, placing a hand over her mouth.
The queen simply smiled. “Close enough.”
“Now that we’ve made my mate impossible to live with, can we get going?” Aiden asked, sounding exhausted.
Meryn looked at her watch. “We’re waiting on one.”
Aiden looked around. “Who?”
“He he he.”
