Thorin entered his apartment to find Vala laughing. Given how Kalahn was gesticulating wildly, it probably had something to do with the princess.

However, he barely paid attention to the other female. Merely seeing his bride enjoying herself sent a surge of love through his body. Without thinking, he closed the distance to her, cupped her face, and kissed her thoroughly.

Vala's surprise quickly faded and she met his tongue stroke for stroke, both of them trying to outdo the other.

It was only when Kalahn cleared her throat extremely loudly that Thorin stopped. With a growl, he looked at the princess and said, "You can leave now."

Vala touched his arm. "Thorin, be nice. Kalahn's my friend, and you promised."

Kalahn put up her hands. "Don't worry, I should be going anyway. My own lord will be searching for me soon if I don't meet him for our dinner date." Kalahn paused and added as she stared at Vala, "Call me anytime, Vala. Okay?"

"I will. Thanks, Kalahn."

The princess stood straight and bobbed her head curtly at Thorin. "General."

He sighed. "Stop being silly and go to your lord."

"Right, because you told me to so I must," Kalahn drawled. However, before he could say anything else to convince the female to leave, Kalahn dashed to the door, her long skirts flowing behind her. Her expression turned serious. "Don't hurt her, Thorin. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with me."

Thorin knew little about telepathy, but he was wise enough to understand a strong one could damage another person's mind, maybe even permanently. While he'd like to think Kalahn wasn't one to seek vengeance, he couldn't be sure.

Vala said, "He won't. Goodbye, Kalahn."

After another few seconds of glaring, Kalahn left.

Thorin sat beside his bride on the couch. She instantly leaned against him and he wrapped his arms around her. They sat that way for a few seconds, her scent and heat soothing him as they always did.

Vala eventually broke the silence. "How did your meeting go?"

Since his vow to the others at the meeting allowed him to share their secrets with his bride, he didn't hold back. "Nine others ended up staying and committed themselves to meet weekly for the foreseeable future."

She raised her head. "That's wonderful, and far more than we expected."

"True." He hesitated, not wanting to ruin the current atmosphere of talk about the future. However, he owed Vala the truth. "One of them even has a son. Not quite a year old, but still, he shared a lot about his experience so far."

His bride laid a hand on his jaw and gently turned his head until he met her gaze. "And how do you feel after talking with him about it?"

He grunted. "It's harder to hate an existing child than an abstract concept."

Vala tilted her head, in the way she usually did before she asked for something. "Do you think the male could bring his family over for dinner one night?"

Thorin blinked. That was one of the last things he'd expected for her to want. "What? Why?"

"While I appreciate any knowledge you can share, I'd like to hear about it all for myself.
