Penrys and Zandaril left before midnight. A draft copy of the proposed document had been given to a scribe tasked with producing multiple fair copies by morning.

When they reached Hing Ganau’s wagon and the nearby tent, Penrys turned to seek her bedroll, but Zandaril stopped her, with a hand on her arm.

“I told Hing we were both moving into the wagon at night.”

She examined his face, where presumption warred with hope, and smiled. So, the Zannib robes have not changed him.

In an oddly courtly gesture, he offered her his hand and drew her the short distance to the back of his wagon, dangling his lantern from the other hand.

A small step stool, placed on the ground, made the scramble easier, and she waited for him there, standing on the bare deck. Their blankets were spread in the hollow space between the diminished stacks of supplies, private on three sides.

When Zandaril joined her, he pulled up the tail gate and untied the canvas, letting it dangle and block the view, like a bed curtain.

“Cozy,” she said. “Much better than the bare ground.”

“I’m glad you think so,” he said, his voice thick. “Not much room for wings, I’m afraid.”

“Oh, we’ll manage somehow.”

She cupped his cheek in one hand, and he leaned his head into it, like a cat. “I’d like to share with you, if you’ll let me,” she said. “For example…” *This is what it’s like for me when I lay my head to your chest and hear your voice rumble.*

She unfastened his formal robe and rough-folded it, then raised it to her nose to inhale the exotic spicy Zannib scent it carried before laying it onto a burlap sack. With his help she lifted off the shirt beneath and embraced him, her ear against his chest. *Say something.*

“I don’t know if I can do that with you,” he said.

She shared with him how that sound coursed through her physically, the tingle as it passed, and the heightened senses it left behind.

She felt his knees buckle, and he caught himself. “Ah.” There was a pause.

“What happens if I do this?” he murmured, as his hand reached out to play with her ear. *Or this?*
