The silence could kill a monk. While Jack had agreed to give this ‘getting to know each other’ thing a chance, he sure wasn’t trying too hard. Not that I really had any room to talk since I hadn’t said more than a few words since we’d left the palace.

Raiden had been so much easier to deal with. I hadn’t had to try with him. He had a way of getting under your skin and making a home there. A delicious body fulfilling home. A shiver ran down my spine in remembrance.

I wished things between Jack and me were that easy, but the ice dragon had some kind of hang up holding him back. I’d only met a few of his kind before, and while some of them had been a bit standoffish, none to this degree. Either he was really shy, had a huge stick up his butt, or someone had hurt him in the past. I honestly didn’t know which one I preferred more. All of them would make getting to know him complicated and enough work that I would really have to be committed to deal with.

Nevertheless, I couldn't figure out what I was dealing with unless one of us took the lead. Since it didn’t seem like Jack would be stepping up anytime soon, it had to be me.

“Look.” I jerked on his hand, bringing us to a stop in the middle of the street. “There’s no point in doing this if neither of us tries.”

“Agreed.”

“So, I suggest we start with something small. Something easy.” I glanced around the market, which had transformed in a few short hours from a desolate ghost town to a lively street fair. A delicious smell hit my nose just as my eyes landed on a food vendor.

Without a word, I grabbed Jack’s hand and pulled him over to the vendor. “For example, what kind of foods do you like?”

Jack eyeballed the meat sticks the vendor sold and gave an appreciative nod. I ordered two, eagerly bouncing on my heels as I waited for them. Just talking about food reminded me how long it had been since we had eaten last. I thought I might die of hunger before the man finally handed me two sticks.

I turned away from him after paying and offered Jack one. While I bit into my right away, a euphoric moan coming from my mouth, Jack sniffed at his.

“What?” I asked around a mouthful of meaty goodness. “Is there something wrong with it?”

“No, I do not enjoy spicy foods.” He stared at the meat for a moment.

“Oh, it’s not hot. I promise.” I sucked some of the juice off my fingers. Jack’s eyes darted from the meat to my face. “Did I get sauce on my face?” I reached a hand up to try to find it causing Jack to chuckle.

“No, you do not have food on your face.” He took a bite of his meat and chewed it around in his mouth for a moment before swallowing with a satisfied nod.
