* * *

Aurelius was just drifting off to sleep on a reasonably comfortable couch in his quarters when a knock sounded at the door. He roused himself with a groggy sigh and went to answer the door. He pulled it open with a groan of stubborn hinges, and there on the other side he saw Lashyla, flanked again by her two guards. She was wearing a sunny smile and not much else. Aurelius had grown used to her revealing attire, but his gaze still lingered where it shouldn’t. Her smile broadened knowingly and she took him by the hand, caressing his fingers between hers.

“Hello, Aurelius.” She went on caressing his hands, and he felt a spreading warmth and ease. Some distant part of his mind recognized it for what it was and he hastily tugged his hands free of hers.

“Princess,” he said, forcing his eyes to stay above her neck, but even her face was seductive.

“Are you ready to watch tonight’s challenge?”

Aurelius turned to defer the question to the others, but Gabrian and Reven were already walking toward the door. “Seems like we are,” he said, turning back to Lashyla.

She frowned. “Dressed like that?”

Aurelius turned his gaze down on his black flightsuit. “What’s wrong with it?”

“You cannot go as you are.” Her gaze skipped to Gabrian and Reven. “Any of you. There will be appropriate clothing in your closets. Come.” And with that, she strode into their room and led them to a closet. Aurelius frowned at the ropy green material of the clothes that were handed to him. They didn’t look or feel very comfortable. He emerged from the bathroom in his new vestments with a grimace; the clothes were loose-fitting and strong, but not comfortable at all. The rough fabric chafed against his skin as he moved. Lashyla admired him with a critical eye, then nodded and smiled. “It will do.”

“I feel like I’m wearing sandpaper.”

“Sandpaper?”

“Paper with sand stuck to it.”

Her smiled changed to a grin and she walked up to him to rub the material between her fingers. It became smooth and glossy. “They will get more comfortable as you wear them.”

Aurelius frowned. “I hope so.”

“Let’s go,” she said, looping her arm through his. On their way out they met Gabrian and Aurelius in the living room, both already changed into matching green tunics. Reven looked even more uncomfortable in his, and he’d split the front of his shirt open while trying to get it on, leaving his hairy chest to poke out in defiance.

Aurelius cast Lashyla quick glance, then pointedly gazed at her arm where it was looped through his. He’d expected her to still be angry that he’d rejected her before dinner, but somehow she was ignoring that little detail and spreading her pheromones in a hazy cloud around him once more to make him forget it, too. He wanted to ask her what she was doing, or if she was even aware that she was affecting him that way, but before he could say anything, she said, “Mermaids have a strange effect on men.
