Chapter Six

The patchwork clothing had been made by a loving hand. A dozen colours of velvet made up the jacket covered with embroidery, and the chiffon blouse was made of a rainbow of fabric that would shift and sway with her movements.

Kenzi folded up the clothing, the skirts, jackets, and blouses, into a neat square while Melwiss tidied up everything she hadn’t eaten.

Andy was back behind the counter, chatting with the proprietor and wiping the countertops.

“Melwiss?”

Her friend was now less dazed and emotional, back in control of herself. “Yes, Kenzi?”

“We have been invited for dinner in the Crossroads. Would you like to come?”

Melwiss smiled with a wry grin. “Will your merman be coming along?”

Kenzi was stunned, but she shouldn’t have been. “My what?”

“The man with the muscles and scales that has been moping around the Isthmus for the last three weeks, waiting for anyone close to what he needed. I should have told him that his mate wasn’t here yet, but he was a bit grumpy.” She went from wry to smug in a heartbeat.

“I don’t have a mate.”

“Not yet, but there was a reason your beast kept running to his territory. You were looking for him.”

Kenzi paled. “How did—oh, you mean then.”

Melwiss grinned. “It happened here? Of course, it did, or you wouldn’t be wearing one of Lorai’s dresses.”

Kenzi could feel her cheeks flush. “She was very enthusiastic.”

“I would imagine she would be. She hasn’t seen her mate for ten years, and now that you two are in communication, you should know her thoughts on the matter.”

Kenzi prodded her beast, and the smug heat that was coming from her thoughts showed that she was paying attention to the conversation.

“Ten years ago, he couldn’t be our mate. The treaty hadn’t been signed.”

“So? This is now, and now, she can have him if he is in agreement.”

“Don’t I enter into this at all?”

Melwiss wrinkled her nose. “Not really. This place is designed to take politics of the human world and chuck them out the window. You get the mate that is right for you, not the one that has the best political contacts.”

Kenzi cleared her throat. “So... dinner?”

“Oh, yes, please. I will wear some of my new duds. I do need some new boots, though. Can you ask Morwiss to get me some?”

“I can and I will. Well, if we want to make it to the Crossroads, we should get this stuff to your house and then start hiking.”

Andy wandered over. “I can lend a hand.”

Melwiss blushed and nodded. “Thank you. If you could take the comics?”

Kenzi took the fabric; Melwiss gathered the leftover snacks in her basket and pulled the original wrap around it. Andy had the stack of comics, and they headed off to Melwiss’s place.

The Isthmus was starting to come alive with guests meeting and mingling in the streets and businesses. Kenzi smiled and nodded at a few of the folk that they passed, but her beast was looking for the blue-green hair and tanned face with dimples.
