"Plus she's getting pretty good at cooking."

Giggle. "I live to impress."

"Better than living to depress."

Giggle. 

"You got any rooms in here that aren't a sorcery lab or a sex dungeon?"

"Lots, actually."

There's bedrooms, though Wyld's blocked off Gleam and Elathea's personal suites, leaving only guest and pilgrim quarters. Courtyards, store houses, a kitchen... A grand banquet hall, and multiple shrines. The temple, and everything associated with its continued function. A library she's built out of copies of the other books - one of the sprits had been eager to take up that task. Gardens she's been restoring with spirit help. An assortment of places to spar, too. An armory, guard rooms, a blacksmith's workshop... Spaces for wild animals who approach the temple - tigers especially. Enormous pools, and a complicated bathhouse. 

Fancy.

Winter takes a small room, while they're waiting here. She doesn't want or need much. Spends most of her time outside or haunting the armory.

Wyld mostly gives her space - she also spends a lot of time outside, often meditating or lounging or gardening, but she's good at ignoring those around her when she wants - but does still make a point of luring Winter into spars or weapons discussions.

Winter is fairly easy to lure into spars or weapons discussions. She has many strong opinions on the best blades for personal use versus what to equip an army with, and the pros and cons of various edged weaponry in different circumstances.

Fighting is when she seems most alive, though. She's a ferociously talented combatant, and when she hits she always leaves a mark.

Exciting.

(Wyld takes notes on the weapons discussions, of course, especially anything on warfare, but she too loves the fight.)

She's not as universally vicious as she was as a Lunar - can't change shapes, which hampers her - but she's fast like moonsilver all the same, and her personal nature still shifts and twists with every moment. Her Essence behaves strangely enough to almost make up for the loss of flexibility.

She's still a damn good combatant, and not one at all bothered by the wounds she collects. (Though she tries - usually successfully - to just not get hit.) She responds to Winter winning most of their spars by training more - and by issuing more challenges, of course. 

It's been a while since she's had a foe so evenly matched. It's a lot of fun.

One of the best feelings in Creation. 

And one she can still partake in.

Having limited hedonism options available is a true tragedy. 

Well. She's still not dead. So.

Then she can revisit certain territory still?

Theoretically.

Providing an overview of hedonism is one of Wyld's specialties.

Maybe she can enlighten Winter a little, then.

She'd be delighted. 

It doesn't really feel like the first date anymore.

The fights each count as a date if you ask Wyld. They've practically had a courting period. 

Few better ways to know a person than to fight them.

Oh, Wyld can think of a few that at least come close - though one is arguably another kind of wrestling...

Fighting or fucking, there's not much difference if you do it right.
