Since reading magic theory books and thinking about spell design are both things that can be done while cuddling, Siva's been doing less of the "divide her time between Tanaikon and the library" thing over the past few days since a certain emotionally complicated conversation. Cuddling is good. Falling asleep in her lover's arms is also good. Siva did that tonight.
It's not where she wakes up.

"Oh good, you're all right - I sort of wasn't listening after you mentioned there might be another version of Hali around," he says. "Sat down, picked up some power, and didn't let go again until I had a way to follow you."

"I can make either or both of you permanently infertile until you ask me to reverse it or learn how to do that yourself," he suggests.
He puts Siva down for a moment.
"There, done. Now, speaking of sharing..."
