Aldara moaned, cracking one eye open. The room lay in total darkness, which helped soothe the pounding in her head. Had she really drank that much Witches’ Wings last night? She hadn’t thought so. There was a time she could drink more than a few dark elves under the table. She should have known better than to mix the Witches Wings with Elderberry wine. Still, it was hard to believe she had become such a feather weight when it came to drinking.

At least Tempest had been kind enough to save her from spending her night dancing with the line wizards her sisters kept sending her way. As soon as she could, she would have a long talk with those two.

Then again it was Tempest who kept handing her drink after drink. If she hadn’t known better she would have thought the reporter was trying to get her drunk. Which reminded her, she was to meet Tempest at some point during the Magic Games for the second part of her interview series.

Aldara’s mind began cataloguing her wardrobe and what would be best to wear to the Games. It was sure bet she would not take fashion advice from Zerlina and Zoe. Her ribs still hurt from the boning in that corset.

Ismarelda let out a soft snort as she shifted beside Aldara. What a good girl. She hadn’t even fussed when Aldara called Giles last night. She sighed at the thought of warm golden eyes, and pulled the covers around her chin.

He would probably never let her live down the fact she called him when she was drunk. Not like he hadn’t seen her a little tipsy before. A smirk covered her face. She drunk dialed him. It’s not like she could drunk text since cell phones didn’t work in Hexestadt and there wasn’t really a witches’s equivalent to texting.

At least she hadn’t done or said anything embarrassing. Did she? Aldara lay in the darkness taking inventory of her and Giles’s conversation. Nope. Everything seemed legitimate. They talked and she told him she loved him then went to bed.

Aldara bolted upright in her bed. “I what?” she yelled, causing Ismarelda to start. “Sorry baby,” she said, pulling the dog near. “I can’t believe I did that.”

“What have I done, Marelda?” She buried her face in Ismarelda’s fur. Aldara was unsure whether to laugh, cry, or both. Maybe Giles would be merciful and chalk it up to her state of intoxication. With any luck, she had already cut transmission, and he hadn’t heard her last words.

A soft knock came from the door before creaking open a sliver pouring candlelight through the doorway. “Aldara?” her mother’s voice whispered. “Aldara. Are you alright, darling?”

“Yes, ma’am,” she croaked. “Why?”

“I thought I heard Ismarelda barking, and wanted to check on you.”

Wow who knew Ismarelda’s bark was powerful enough to travel through the door, down a forty foot corridor, take a right, travel another twenty yards and through the door to her parent’s room. Geeze, maybe she should use Ismarelda to get the Clan’s attention.
