He slid his pen free, and her claw scratched it. “Sorry.”
He nodded. “No problem. I will bill Syar for it.”
Syar shivered a little.
“Ah, that kind of payment.”
Syar blushed, Reynaldo smiled, and Ven got her snacks and coffee. She downed her coffee, finished her food, then took the tray and walked the tray to the attendant.
“Oh, miss. I was coming for that.”
“They are making eyes at each other. Best we stay out of their way.” She smiled. “Can I get a bottle of water? Make that two, please.”
“You are the king’s lover?” The woman handed her the small water bottles.
Ven froze. She hadn’t discussed her job description with Syar.
Arms reached around her, and Reynaldo said, “She’s our companion. Isn’t it obvious?”
Ven blinked as she was carefully lifted and carried back to the seats.
She apologized. “I blanked on that. Apologies.”
“I haven’t felt embarrassed panic before.” Reynaldo smiled.
Syar smiled. “What did she ask you?”
“If I was your...” She went into vague hand gestures.
He cocked his head. “Puppet?”
Reynaldo growled, “Plumber?”
She groaned and covered her eyes as they continued guessing.
“Dancer?”
“Pillow?”
“Tour guide?”
“Very bad sign language interpreter?”
She muttered, “Lover.”
Syar smirked, “I would not have guessed that.”
“Shut up, Your Majesty.” She mumbled and drank some water.
Reynaldo blinked. “Thatis what caused you to panic?”
“Pick your triggers. Intimacy is mine.” She slugged the water down. She opened the second bottle.
Reynaldo was watching her.
“What?”
“You didn’t argue when I described you asourcompanion.”
