“I thought Lance was my friend to an extent,” said Rainier. “Clearly, he wasn’t.”
No wonder he wanted someone for six months and decided to take the risk to bring Felix here besides making him feel safe. “Are your Aunty and cousin mad too?
“No,” Rainier said as they continued walking. “Betty and Natalie don’t care what I do, and they stay out of my business like they should. If they heard I was having orgies with half of the city, they wouldn’t care.”
“Ew. That’s something I won’t do.”
Rainier chuckled. “Don’t worry. I have no interest in orgies.”
“Thank God.”
When they stepped outside, Rainier squinted at him. “What does ‘hell yes’ mean? You said that earlier.”
“It’s like saying you want something very much,” said Felix. “Or like, fuck yes! You’re excited and agreeing with something.”
“Why hell?”
“It’s just a way to curse for humans.”
“Ah. In Asgard, Hel is a place for the dead to go.”
Felix nodded. “I’ve heard a bit about that, but hell yes is something I grew up with, and it hasn’t gone away for me.”
Despite twelve years in the fairy realm, he never got tired of the plants and trees in Glasswood, and the name of this Kingdom made perfect sense. They had normal plants too, but glass and crystal flowers and trees would always be his favorite kind.
When he’d first arrived here, he thought the whole fairy realm was covered in such plants, but he learned it wasn’t. Then he’d been afraid for a while that the glass tree by Mother’s house would fall over, crush the roof, and they’d all die a horrible, splintery death with glass bits stuck in them.
Despite being glass, a few roses on a bush were looking a bit droopy, and their green leaves were black at the edges. The gardener’s would have to prune that since glass plants grew and wilted just like anything else. A few leaves blew off a tree and tinkled down, and a couple landed on his head, but they didn’t cut because they weren’t sharp like that. He picked one up to look at the veins running through the red glass.
“This never gets old,” he told Rainier. “The plants still fascinate me.”
“It’s still beautiful to me too even though I was born here.”
Felix took his leaf with him as they walked down the paths paved with pale stones. The garden was pretty vast, and an arch of bushes led to a different area. More normal plants grew, and they also had many gold and silver flowers and vines, which were Felix’s second favorite plants.
A fountain held curious little, two-headed fish that gaped their mouths at the pair when they leaned over. All were yellow and had more fins than Felix would have thought normal twelve years ago.
“What are those?” he asked.
“They’re doublers.”
Felix touched his finger to the water, and one came up to nibble which tickled. Not finding anything edible, the doubler quickly swam away as if annoyed.
“It figures my Kitten likes the fish.”
“They’re cute."
Rainier nuzzled his neck. “You seem more and more like a Kitten to me.”
“I like milk too.”
“Ahhh. Maybe I’ll get you a saucer of milk to lap at.”
“I like it with sweetened cacao too, even though that’s not something kitties should have.”
“Butyoucan.”
Felix leaned his arms on the fountain. “Why do you like kitty play?”
