Chapter 15

Blair

“And now I know that there’s no way our little princess is as boozy as the tabloids say because there’s no way she’s drinking that much,” Pavel said, finishing his story.

Blair grinned and massaged Alethea’s knee. “It surprises me how much they get wrong.”

“Eh. They want to get it wrong. Makes for a juicier story to sell. They once used a picture of her sneezing to top off a story about her going on a wild rant,” Pavel mused.

“I remember that,” Alethea groaned. “Some lie about me threatening my caddy. I’ve played golf less than a dozen times in my life. If my caddy did something wrong, how would I even know?”

“I’m not familiar with these terms,” Blair admitted.

“It’s a sport rich people play, though I don’t personally find it entertaining,” Pavel said. “You hit a tiny white ball with a metal stick. It’s all very… involved.”

Alethea chuckled. He was missing something, but he suspected it didn’t matter. When he was uncertain of something that had even the slightest importance, Alethea would explain it. Anything else he tucked away in his mind as something to look into later.

He sipped the drink Pavel had made him and tried to look as if he enjoyed it. He’d never had a cocktail before, and had expected it to be more pleasant. Humans drank this all the time, so why wouldn’t it be?

At least he was awake now. And hungry. They’d had to bring everything they’d planned to eat, and currently, Vevina and Nikki were looking through the collective supplies to see what would be best for lunch today. He hadn’t even considered bringing food. Being unprepared was becoming familiar territory to him, and he didn’t like that.

“Blair?”

He looked to Alethea. “Hmm?”

“Pavel just asked if it’s possible to just visit Sidera Luminis.”

“Visit like this? On a vacation?”

Pavel nodded.

“I’m not sure, to be honest. I don’t believe humans ever have, but that wouldn’t mean it’s not allowed or impossible. Though… to my knowledge, Sidera Luminis doesn’t have guest accommodations like Earth. There aren’t hotels and such.”

“Disappointing.”

“Vevina works with the Prince, and his wife Brooke is an ambassador between worlds. I’m sure she would be able to figure that out.”

“I just wouldn’t mind a magical companion for myself,” Pavel said smiling crookedly and stirring the crushed mint at the bottom of his glass. “Speaking of. Where are those ladies with our food? Is it that hard to make a sandwich?”

Alethea rolled her eyes. “Pretty sure Nikki doesn’t know how to make that. She’s had a cook cutting the edges off her bread since she was born.”

The sound of a throat clearing made Blair and Alethea turn to find Nikki holding a large bowl and Vevina holding a serving plate of sandwiches.

“I can make a sandwich. I know what bread is,” Nikki teased.

“She’s lying,” Vevina said completely deadpan. “I saw her flipping through a cookbook to see if the meat and cheese had a particular order.”

Nikki elbowed Vevina and laughed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.
