Good.

And then snuggles.

Mmmhmm.

"I love you."

"Nentiane Alissiaverene."

Haaaapppy snuggly sigh.

Cozy contented snuggles.

Definitely. So very much.

And then, eventually, sleep.

In the morning, breakfast arrives accompanied by Kelora.

"We found a translator and you are invited to meet with Grandfather at your convenience."

"Oh, nice. Gestures only get you so far."

Nod.

"We'll see him after breakfast."

"Works for me."

She nods. She goes away and leaves them with their breakfast.

Om nom delicious breakfast food. "It's nice being able to talk understandably again."

"Yes." Smirk. "We managed just fine, though."

"You're not wrong."

He grins.

She kisses him.

Mm, kisses.

All right, they're done with breakfast. Did Kelora - yes, she left clothes for Siva that are something close to her size.

Ooh, convenient. Do any of them have correct pockets or is she wearing an impromptu sash again?

Looks like she'll need the sash.

Shrug. Sash on.

To the Emperor's office!

He greets them with a slight, sardonic smile.

"Where's my hug?" he asks Seofar.
