And her beloved is thinking about her, and he is thinking that he wants to do more things that she will like. Many more.

Tautologically enough, Isibel would like that.

Good!

In that case, they should do some of those. Right now.

Now seems like an excellent time.

And they have this lovely new village to go and be at home in, where they are very unlikely to be interrupted in the pursuit of liking each other.

It would indeed be very surprising if they were interrupted.

And indeed,

they are not.

They are not interrupted for a long time.

In fact, they are not interrupted until the demon discovers that he is tired, and should sleep soon. Which would make it... ah. A sennight and a half.

Isibel doesn't have to sleep! It is a standard feature of once-pealed Bells that they do not have to sleep.

Her demon is aware that she doesn't have to sleep. If she did, they would have paused somewhat earlier.

He decides that not needing to sleep is a fine idea, and gives himself the same power.

Over the course of the next sennight, during which occasional - well, they could be called "breaks", but are more like "variations" - are spent enchanting, Sarion develops an aura.

It makes her elfier. If elves are ethereal and oddly perfect when observed by humans, she will now be ethereal and oddly perfect when observed by elves and something else entirely to others. (If there were anyone but her beloved here in her hidey-village to see her.)

And when she enchants, she notices her aura drawing itself around her mindscape - no longer a void of darkness, but full of motes of light - protectively, defensively. She can still send to her beloveds and they can still send to her. But if this aura had had the decency to bestow itself upon her earlier - it could have saved them all a lot of heartache.

Her beloved cries a little when he learns of it.

Permalink

"Oh my love," she murmurs. "I'm all right now."

Permalink

"I know you are," he says, hugging her. "I'm glad. I love you."

Permalink

"I love you too."
