He sighed. “That does explain why I feel so... normal. I haven’t felt this calm since I was a teenager.”
Tor patted him on the shoulder. “You will be back to your horny asshole self soon enough.”
Those gathered at the table chuckled as Armin shrugged.
Elly finished her food and said, “So, what is your situation, Amelia?”
“I was going to head home, but Syar offered me a temporary place as nanny. You know... since you are busy, and Nova is only getting back tomorrow.”
“I can do it.”
Keahi cleared his throat. “Don’t you already have a day job?”
“Oh. Yeah, I should go back to that. My small group of fans will be eating each other by now, and then where will I be?”
Nalu smiled. “Here on the island.”
There was a rumble, and Keahi and Nalu got to their feet. They excused themselves, and Syar got to his feet and nodded to them.
Elly blinked. “Wait, is this the volcano stuff?”
Syar was about to answer, but the table rattled. “Yeah. It is.”
She looked at Mano, and he put his arm around her. “Did you want to go watch them work? We will have to keep a distance.”
“Sure.”
They excused themselves and headed down the path the other two had taken a moment before. Keahi and Nalu were discussing their tactics, and Eliana removed her shoes and walked into the sea. She was caught with an arm around her waist. Keahi murmured, “Where are you going?”
“Just making sure that no one brings one of those observing vessels too close. Safety first.”
Mano grinned. “I am here to guide her.”
Keahi tugged on her top. “Not stripping?”
“Nope. Not with all those observer vessels pulling in.” She looked out to sea, and there were several ocean-going ships coming in.
Keahi chuckled. “I love you, you know?”
She felt it through the link. “Yeah, I actually do. Bertold is still going to get it in the nuts if I ever see him. A decade lost.”
“And a lifetime found. Now, go and ride the scary shark and warn the vessels to stay back.”
She smiled, and he kissed her, but Mano snorted and pulled her away. “Still technically my day.”
Nalu inclined his head, and then the beach had dragons on it before they took off.
Watching Keahi lancing the magma out of the side of the volcano was rather fun, even from the distance that Mano maintained.
As the orange-red molten rock flowed free, Nalu jetted cold water on it, and a new island extension began to form. They worked through the night, and in the cool light of dawn, they all returned to shore.
Mano carried her until Keahi used his fire to dry her, and then Keahi picked her up, and they all staggered back to the house. The island had grown by ten acres overnight.
She drowsily stripped and then crawled into bed with Keahi. Everything was good; she just needed a nap.
Eliana woke, and she was warm and sweaty. She grunted and tried to ease out of the sandwich between dragons. Hands pulled her back between them. She settled facing Keahi. “I wanna get up.”
He yawned. “You are tired. We are tired.”
