"Dragovar, now that Sir Tasseder and Elinne have gone, I need to ask Chessina something very important," I said, "would you excuse us while we go into another room."

"I'll leave you two alone and go and arrange more tea," said Dragovar and left us.

I cupped Chessina's chin in my hand, tilted up her face and looked into her eyes.

"Before we go any further, Chessina, I need to know if you wish to try to regain your soul, if it is even possible," I said earnestly. "You would become mortal, you would lose your demonic powers, you would age and die."

"Castamir," said Chessina, gently touching my arm, "if as a demon I am killed on what is technically my home plane, I cease to exist. If I have a soul, when I die I will be with Our Lady of Mysteries, and I will be with you forever. What other choice do you think I would make?"

I bent down my head and kissed Chessina. I do not know how long that kiss lasted, but I became aware of the fragrant scent of tea. I opened my eyes and saw Dragovar seated comfortably and making notes on a piece of parchment.

"Ah, good. Back with us I see," said Dragovar somewhat sarcastically. "All sorted?"

"Yes. I have decided that I want to try to regain my soul," replied Chessina emphatically. “I realise the implications of this and it is what I want to do."

"Good. I'm sure Castamir explained the implications most tediously . . . thoroughly," said Dragovar, eyes twinkling. I never thought he could have it in him.
