Both Vexer and Talon followed us out of the castle and into the city, knocking on doors and peering inside to the laughter of the residents as we 'hunted for ghosts'. We were given candied apples, sugared nuts, fruit and jelly rolls, and all sorts of other things that the prince wasn't allowed to eat until the Royal Poison Whisperer had checked them for contamination.

It was still fun though, moving through New Akyumen in a crowd, my cloak billowing out behind me, the ghost mask parked firmly on my face … and Air, dressed in a giant jeweled codpiece that I kept squeezing with a drunken giggle.

Yep.

We'd carried a bottle of spiked cider with us, drinking deeply and stumbling across the cobblestones. Air kept tossing glares at both Vexer and Talon, but I didn't mind them tagging along. They were good company actually. Or at least, as drunk as I was, they made good company.

Vexer was sturdy and grounded and every time our bare arms bumped, I felt a zing of attraction run through me. And Talon's dry humor was twice as funny with a little booze in my belly.

“Do you think Elijah's okay?” I asked Air as we paused in front of the Vibrant, a tavern and dance house all in one. Orange pumpkins glowed in the windows and cast strange shadows across the street. All the gas lamps were lit and there were soldiers with torches in every nook and cranny, but … even though New Akyumen was the safest city in Amerin, there was something almost ominous tonight.

Or maybe I was just upset because Air and I had serious communication problems? Married? Why couldn't he have just told me who he was marrying? I'd asked three times after we'd left the castle and gotten the same answer each time—you'll see. And then he'd laughed, but I couldn't tell if he was teasing me or … if we were back to being just friends.

Flub.

Hairy flubbing goat's balls.

I hated not knowing, and I hated checking over my shoulder every ten seconds to see if we were being followed by an ancient, evil spirit. There were people everywhere, visitors and locals alike swarming the cobblestone street in droves. But I had to admit, it was a relief when Air took my hand and led us into the dance house.

“Eli's fine,” he said, but his voice was slurred with cider and mine wasn't much better.

“He went to the old clock tower,” Talon said, tugging on the small red braid at the front of his hair.

“How do you know?” I asked as Air snagged us a table. Okay, well, snagged maybe wasn't the right word considering he was the crown prince. Rather, a woman stood up from one of the tables and hauled two men up with her, quickly clearing her dishes and bowing as Airmienan and I walked up.

Air ordered us a few rounds of der Bösewicht, which was pretty pungent stuff, and then gestured for me to take a seat the decorated wooden table.
