“I do,” you say. “The only problem will be getting close enough to get this ON him.”
And that, of course is where Zith-Zi comes in. The goblin adventuress is in Hawksong—Izzy confirms that much. No more cross-country jaunts for you just-yet, thank goodness! The trip to Turtledove and back wasn’t nearly as unsettling as the one from the Moon to Earth, but you still feel disoriented, and that’s AFTER being wiped from your spellcasting with Testa. You’re exhausted, in a way that you haven’t been in over a year; the last two days away from Holy Luna’s invigorating energies have been tiring ones by comparison, but TODAY has been especially taxing. You take a step, only to wobble and nearly fall over before Izzy rushes to catch you, nearly taking HER out as well.
“You’ll be alright,” Izzy promises you, helping you up. “You just need rest.”
“Yeah,” you agree. “You’re probably right.”
“Let’s go to bed,” she suggests.
Weary as you are, the implication passes right by you. You don’t pick up on the subtext until Izzy guide you to one of the makeshift domiciles of the tent-city, where a simple bedroll is laid out… And only the one. You suppose you just assume she’ll be leaving once you’re settled down, but then you turn around and—
“Woah!” you say.
Izirina Henzler’s jacket has been shucked with surprising speed, and her black leathers popped open and half-shed from her shoulders and she begins unbuttoning her blouse.
“What?” she asks, looking genuinely confused.
“Uh…”
It’s nothing you haven’t seen before, of course. This is the girl you gave your virginity to—and vice-versa. And you love her, of course. But… It’s been almost a year and a half since you last shared her bed. And there’s still matters with Costella—the OTHER woman you love—to sort out.
What do you do?
