Not that the deception could ever have lasted long, of course. Liz had seen through Vias’s disguise the moment they met. They were as good as sisters; the bond they shared ran too deep for a few months apart or a change of form to hide, and it pained Liz a little to see Vias deny it. Even if the beastwoman had her reasons, there was surely some way Liz could help. No, she decided, she would not let Vias ignore this. She would make her spit out some kind of admission, no matter what it took.

She reached out and grasped Vias by the chin. “Look at me, Cerberus. Look me in the eye—”

Too late, Liz remembered that Vias had shoveled a plateful of food into her mouth. As her cheeks squished inward, physics took its course. In an instant, the most beautiful face in Soleil was covered in half-chewed meat and grease.

It crossed Liz’s mind that she only had herself to blame, but she had not quite developed the mental fortitude to admit that with good grace. She picked the scraps of meat off her face. A vein throbbed in her grease-smeared temple as she rounded on Vias.

“Oh dear.” Her smile was chilling. “What am I going to do with you?”

“That wasn’t my fault! It was you who—”

By all accounts, Vias was in the right, but she saw Liz’s eyes flash and her protests died. Her shoulders slumped, and she sighed in defeat.

“How long have you known?”

“I had my suspicions the moment I saw your hair.”

“That was what gave me away?”

“Remind me, I’ve been brushing your coat for how many years?”

Liz reached out and ruffled the beastwoman’s hair. It was soft to the touch, although it did seem to have lost some of its luster. The moon was bright enough that Liz was certain that was more than just her imagination.

“Look, it’s all mussed up. You haven’t been taking care of it, haven’t you?”

“I combed it.”

“Badly, by the looks of it.” Liz smiled triumphantly. “Did you think you could fool me with this?”

Vias thumped the stonework in frustration. “If I’d known something so stupid would give me away, I would have put in more effort.”

Liz shrugged helplessly and reached out to stroke her hair again. “Come on. We grew up together. Did you really think I wouldn’t recognize my little sister?”

They had grown up surrounded by enemies, with only each other to rely on. They had not been able to speak in words, but they understood one another deeply even so. Just like real blood sisters, they could read one another’s minds as easily as breathing.

“My lady...” Vias whispered. She turned bashfully back to her plate, trying to hide the tears of joy glistening in her eyes.

Liz watched fondly. At last, a thought struck her, and she cocked her head. “So tell me, why are you human now?”

“It’s a long story.”

“That’s all right. We can talk while we eat...although on second thought, maybe you’ve had enough.”

Vias looked unamused. Liz might have been her mistress, but that didn’t mean she could limit her diet.
