Chapter 7

Rowan settled down to watch more TV after dinner, but even though Calrian suspected that the strange device could tell him a lot about humans, he only half listened as Rowan tried to explain the convoluted story on the ‘soapie’.

Rylee was moving around in the kitchen, carrying the dishes from the table to the sink, and filling it with hot water.

Calrian felt bad sitting around while she was working. Whatever she had been doing earlier, that had not been because of him. But he had eaten with her, helped make those dishes dirty. He couldn’t just leave her to deal with the mess alone.

“I’m just going to go see if your mum needs help,” he told Rowan.

For a moment, he thought the boy was going to protest. Then a mischievous gleam entered his eye. “Offer to dry the dishes for her,” he suggested. “She’ll like that.”

Calrian suspected that his suggestion was motivated by the desire to see him mate with his mother. He could see that Rowan liked that idea, even though he wasn’t quite sure why.

Calrian wasn’t completely averse to the idea. The truth was, the idea of settling down with Rylee held a lot of appeal. If he couldn’t find his clan, then he would need to find a place in this world. And being with Rylee, making a family with her and Rowan, that would be easy. Sweet and tempting.

Calrian shook his head.

He would find his clan. There was no point in thinking about what he would do if he couldn’t. That would be accepting defeat, and he refused to do that.

But there was no denying that he had a good excuse to spend time with Rylee right now. He needed her help. That meant he could justify walking into the kitchen and saying, “Can I help?”

She looked up, a little startled, and stared at him uncomprehendingly for a moment.

Calrian wondered if he’d inadvertently spoken the wrong words. “Rowan said I should offer to help you dry the dishes?” he suggested. “I would be happy to do so, if you would explain what to do.”

That seemed to snap Rylee out of her confusion. “Of course. There’s a tea towel there. You just dry them, then stack them with the same ones in the cupboard there.”

The job seemed simple enough, though Calrian did have to concentrate a little for the first few dishes. But the silence, as he worked next to Rylee, wasn’t in the least bit uncomfortable.

In fact, it was something he could get used to.

Calrian shook his head. He needed to stop thinking like that. Needed to stop wondering if he was ever going to find his clan and if all this searching was pointless. He couldn’t even begin to think of settling down with Rylee without having exhausted all possible options to find his clan. He owed them that much.

He was a prince. A leader of his clan. If his brothers and sisters were all still asleep, or worse, gone, then his clan had been leaderless all this time.
