Chapter 27

Vassago

I’d gone down to the classroom so I could gather a few things to take with me to the stone kin encampment, expecting to find it empty. Instead, I found Greta poring over Lilith’s book, supplies lined up on her worktable.

“What are you working on, Dragonfly?”

“I think I may have found something.” Her eyes squinted as she traced down the paper with her finger.

“Oh? How can I help?”

“I’m not sure yet. The name is strange, but I feel like it’s something I need to try.” She gestured vaguely to her midsection with her hands, demonstrating as best she could where the drive was coming from.

“Of course. Are you hungry? I’m afraid if you start now, you’ll be in the middle of something when you should be stopping to eat.” I’d learned when Greta was motivated, it was best to go with it. Her energy stores were too fickle to delay.

She peered up at me, eyes bright. “I think I might always be hungry.” Her cheeks colored, as though the admission were embarrassing.

Or perhaps not completely about food. I could absolutely relate. The way I felt when she looked at me like that was borderline criminal. It made me incapable of refusing her anything.

“I’ll take care of that, then. Can’t have you working on an empty stomach.” I winked at her, and the color in her cheeks deepened. It was a ridiculous temptation. “Be careful.”

“I’m always careful,” she muttered back, already lost in the recipe again as she slid on a pair of spectacles. She was adorable.

I headed for the dining room, taking my time approaching the kitchen as the sounds of Grace and Magnus’s mixed laughter rang out from behind the door. Grace popped out with plates in her hand, the mountainous man grinning as he stepped out right behind her.

“Good evening, Vassago,” Grace greeted me with a wide smile.

“Grace.” It was impossible not to smile back at her.

Magnus smirked, parking himself at the table with three of the plates he’d carried. “Demon.”

“Statue.”

“Will Greta be joining us?” Grace asked.

“She’s actually in the middle of working on something. May I get a plate to take to her?”

“Of course. Come on, I’ll get you set up.”

“It can wait a few minutes. Please, eat while your food is hot.”

She waved me off. “It’ll keep.”

Magnus shook his head, warning me off from trying to argue further. He looked to be pacing himself with his first plate, trying to make it last so he could have more time at the table with her, if I were to hazard a guess.

I followed her into the kitchen, and Grace efficiently set a plate in each of my hands. “Thank you.”

“I’ll be along in a bit with some nibbles and fresh tea.”

“You’re too good to us, Grace.”

She smiled. “Go on. Get it to her before she’s got no hands to eat with. I know well enough how that goes.”

Greta had a flask in one hand when I returned but struggled with the striker for the burner she held it over, spectacles abandoned on the tabletop.
