Chapter Sixteen

Her alarm hadn’t managed to wake her that morning because Tanyith had texted her with details of his adventures from the night before. Cali wasn’t able to get back to sleep thereafter, so she’d spent the time straightening her apartment, grateful to have so much space even though it required more upkeep than her last home.

The class at the dojo had been good, and her personal session with Ikehara better. He’d asked her to come in the next day, which was a rare closed Sunday for the martial arts studio, to do extra cleaning. She didn’t consider refusing. A serious amount of pride came with being within her teacher’s trusted inner circle, and that would have been enough to motivate her even without the additional training he’d provided.

She’d run home afterward and enjoyed the exercise. All the damage from the battle with the Atlanteans had faded, and it was good to feel completely confident in her body again. When I see Nylotte, I need to ask her what the deal is with the healing potion not working like it should. Zeb hadn’t known the answer and the Drow was her second-best option.

A half-hour under the hot water was a glorious end to the first part of the day, and she took a few extra minutes to get her hair under control, putting moisturizing product in it and brushing it through. She still had four hours before she had to be at the tavern and had arranged with Dasante to spend that time busking in Jackson Square.

Once she’d pulled on shorts, sneakers, and a t-shirt, she called, “Up and at ʼem, Fyre.” The Draksa gave something between a yawn and a growl from the front room, and she laughed as she entered and found him stretching like a cat with his rear end sticking up. “Honestly, you are the strangest creature.” He opened his mouth and lolled his tongue at her but didn’t respond.

Cali rolled her eyes. “Put your costume on, doofus.” The air rippled as he changed, but she continued to see the Draksa where anyone else would see a Rottweiler of one shade or another. She’d realized he varied his color from comments that others who saw him had made. With a shake of her head, she walked into the hallway and took a few steps to Dasante’s door.

A post-it note was attached to it. Got tired of waiting. See you over there.

She looked at Fyre with a grin. “Why must you make us late for everything?”

“Yes, it’s me that’s the problem,” he drawled.

“You know it, scaly.” She led him down the stairs and out the door, and they shared a happy walk toward the heart of the French Quarter. Along the way, they encountered the usual things—restaurant windows framing tourists having lunch, frozen drink bars serving the early afternoon crowd that wanted to get a jump on their party, and artists plying their trades for tips wherever they could find a space. While the Square was her favorite place, some found it too busy and didn’t enjoy the competition.
