“I can hover for an hour and a half, but I don’t fly in the open air that much.”
“Then, perhaps that is another date.”He stroked her back.“I am very concerned with your stamina.”
The blush was never going to fade.
Vaia came over and chuckled.“Azreen didn’t let me out of the room until I stopped blushing.It was quite the wedding night.Better than the first.”
Krys smiled.“So, there is going to be a rehearsal here for the dancers tomorrow night.”
Vaia grinned.“Good.I think my hips have loosened up.”
Azreen inclined his head.“I do my best.”
She patted his arm.“I know.I am working to catch up.”
He let out a gust of air.“You are doing a great job.”
Vaia chuckled and held his arm.He leaned down, and they kissed sweetly.
Krys smiled.“So, Vaia, are you going to dance with us?”
Reynal said, “Us?”
“Sure.One of the regulars broke her leg, so I am on patch-in duty for this kind of thing.”
Vaia frowned.“Can’t get a healer?”
“Even with a healer, you can’t dance on a repaired leg for a month.”
“Right.”
Krys looked around, and Sable was walking toward them with a swing in her hips.Right.“Note, date night at the quarry means they are not to be disturbed.”
Sable walked up.“He finished that statue for you.He wasn’t sure of how to finish it, and then he saw Reynal and Krys, and he figured it out.”
Krys remembered.“Oh, the sword!”
Sable grinned.“Right.Do you want to come and see it?”
As a group, they walked toward the quarry, where a study of gold and crystalline white was standing.Benko grinned.“I like it.It came out well.”
Krys froze.“Good fucking god.”
Reynal chuckled.“Why, thank you.”
They were in the pose they had just been in, her dress foamed up and frothing over her thighs.His suit jacket was open, and that is where her arms were.His head and hers were bent toward each other, her hiding, him snacking.What made it them was his gold-black wings and her frost-white butterfly wings.
Azreen cocked his head.“I am wondering where we can display that.”
Benko chuckled.“Wherever you like.I can get my brothers here, and we can move it and anchor it to the bedrock.It won’t move after that.”
Krys looked at Benko, “Why?”
He grinned.“Because Sable believes that you and Reynal look gorgeous together, and I found the right coloured stone.”
Krys laughed.“Thank you for that one.Marble or granite?”
“Granite with geode centres.”
