“Okay, I realize I already used the ‘Honey, I’m home line,’ so this time, I’ll just go with—woah.” Cheyenne turned around from closing the apartment door and found Ember sitting in her wheelchair in the center of the living room, surrounded by at least a dozen large boxes. “You went nuts on the online shopping, huh?”

“Did you know there are people out there who will pick your stuff up from any store in the area and bring it to you?” Ember grinned and swept an arm across the expanse of box-filled living room. “Like, it’s their business.”

“For anyone who wants it?”

“Yeah, I guess. I didn’t think to ask.” Ember laughed. “I mean, I’m not gonna make a bunch of phone calls like, ‘Hi, I’m Ember. I’m in a wheelchair. Can you do this stuff for me?’”

Cheyenne bit her bottom lip and swerved around the closest stack of boxes. “Obviously, you don’t have to.”

“I know, right? Guess we have a lot of unpacking to do tomorrow anyway.”

“Uh…” Cheyenne walked toward the kitchen island and showed her friend the pint of Ben & Jerry’s she’d picked up before setting it down on the granite countertop. “About tomorrow.”

“What happened now?” Ember wheeled herself down the aisle between boxes and went searching through the kitchen drawers.

“Nothing crazy. I told you about my troll-family neighbors, right? Well, ex-neighbors, I guess.”

“Yeah, the underwear crafters.” Ember snorted. “Holy shit. When they said fully furnished, they really meant fully.” She closed the drawer and held up two spoons. “Silverware and everything.”

“Look at that.” The halfling stepped around the island to take the offered spoon, then opened the pint of ice cream and handed it over. “So, my troll friends have been trying to get me to go to Peridosh with them for a while, and I have to get over there soon anyway to pick up a bunch of ingredients I’ve never heard of for spells I don’t entirely trust.”

“Huh.” Ember dug out a second huge spoonful of ice cream and passed the pint. “Sounds exciting.”

“Yeah, maybe. I invited them to come with me tomorrow after lunch.”

“Oh, man. You know, I’ve been in Richmond for, what? A little over four years? I’ve always wanted to go down there to see what it’s like.”

“So, come with us.” Cheyenne shrugged and braved the chance of brain freeze with a giant bite of ice cream.

“You know, you’re normally full of awesome ideas, Cheyenne.” Ember snatched the pint out of her friend’s hand. “But that’s not one of them.”

The halfling chuckled. “Why not?”

“First of all, I have zero magic.” Ember took another bite, then shook her spoon at her friend and talked around the mouthful. “So, if we ran into any kind of trouble, I wouldn’t be very useful. Forget the whole wheelchair thing.”

“I was in a bar fight with five giant idiots the other night. By myself.” Cheyenne folded her arms and leaned against the counter. “Not an issue if you don’t have any magic to protect me.”

“Okay, but I didn’t
