Mhmmmmmmm~

- and in the morning Kib wakes up.

And he is already up and dictating letters over osanwe and flipping through stacks of memos. Morning. I love you. It's safer in the morning; it'd be less Thauron's style to end it now.

...Love you too. And he disentangles himself from his many blankets and stretches and gets up.

And Maitimo watches him leave.

After a little while to process the revelation that he is the reincarnation of Kib's husband, Aydanci goes and checks with Kib to see if it's okay to tell people. ...Apparently practically every adult Aydanci knows already knew. It was news.

But Lári doesn't know. Aydanci goes looking for Lári.

"Aydanci!"

"Hi! ...Do you remember way back when we ran into Kib in the palace and you thought he liked me more?"

"He totally did."

"Yeah. It turns out, there was a reason. I'm, uh, a reincarnation of his husband."

"...woah. Weird. His husband?"

"Yeah." ...He could add the clarification that Kib is a reincarnation of his wife but. Maybe he won't.

"Well, do you like him? Are you going to marry him?"

"I mean. Probably? Or I sort of already am married to him unless I don't want to be? I like him so far but I'm waiting until I'm a bit older and have more dreams about my past life."

"Yeah. That makes sense. 

Is it kind of a lot of pressure? He's just been waiting, your whole life..."

"I - not really? He doesn't expect anything in particular. He just told me the story of my life, so I could put the dreams in context, and he isn't going to avoid me anymore but I don't think he'd bother me if I asked him to go away."

"That's good. At least he's pretty cute!"

"He invented storks," says Aydanci, this being clearly more important. "In his past life."

"You mean in the lost world?"

"Yeah, there."

"Wow."

Fervent nodding. Storks! The inventor of storks!

"That's amazing.

Are you going to get dreams about programming and get way better at it than me.

Are you going to get sex dreams."

"Um, I was a servantmaker in my past life so... maybe? They come in random order. ...and. Maybe?" Blushing. "I guess?"

"I wonder if I'm a reincarnation. I hope not. No offense. Seems - nice if you have a husband who invented storks. Really weird otherwise."
