Her clothing was where she had left it, and she braided her hair into a thick column down her back before she climbed the stairs.

Seerya found Lothan in the lobby, speaking to Derix and Juno.

Juno smiled. “Good morning, Seerya. Lothan was just telling us that you two have known each other for quite a while.”

Seerya inclined her head. “It is true. I brokered a deal with his ancestors to keep them from stealing human women and men for their own sexual purposes. After a few centuries, they got the hint that I was serious about it.”

Juno blinked. “Seriously?”

“Seriously. That is how we met.”

Lothan smiled. “It is true. She had raised the bride of my great uncle and was handing the young woman over with an education and a trousseau. That was the first time I saw her.”

Juno stared. “You were handing over a human?”

Seerya narrowed her eyes at Lothan. “I gifted his people with that necklace so that they could find true matches. Unfortunately, some of the women found were still under age, so I paid their bride price to their parents and raised the children into young ladies. They got an education that they would not have otherwise had and the husband had to allow her to continue to pursue her interests.”

Juno was enraptured. “What happened if they didn’t?”

Lothan grinned. “She repossessed the bride.”

Derix was stunned. “What?”

“I repossessed the bride. I took her away until the fey was so ill from loss of his mate that he was willing to examine his actions. At that point, we usually had a very effective discussion that allowed the human to be returned to her mate.”

Derix frowned. “Did any of them still dishonour the contract?”

She grinned grimly. “One. He did not last long.”

Lothan shuddered. “That situation was carefully recorded in our histories. His demise was not pleasant. A bound mate was not something to abuse.”

Seerya smiled. “It did not happen again.”

Derix shivered. “That is horrible.”

“The world used to be a much crueller place, and I am content with my place in it.” Seerya inclined her head.

Lothan chuckled. “Well, that is in the past. Now, we are off for pancakes.”

He offered her his arm, and Seerya placed her hand on his wrist. Sparks flew under her hand. “Ah, this takes me back.”

“To when?”

“This morning.” She smiled.

They walked out the door, and he murmured, “There is a direct transport if you need one.”

“No. I like the walk. I sometimes spend weeks on land without touching the water. It isn’t necessary.”

He smiled. “I enjoy the walk as well. Even without the charm, I enjoyed the mornings. It was afternoon sun that heated my skin and made me uncomfortable. Of course, thanks to your gift, our entire clan was able to live as the standard fey did. We were drow without the weaknesses. It did change us over generations, but you knew it would.”

She chuckled. “Of course. I had watched evolution in action before the humans had ever guessed at it. Exposing you to the sun with a supernatural defense was bound to change your clan.
