“Shall we?” I said.
He blinked from whatever unpleasant thoughts tormented him and nodded.
We descended that long set of stairs together, and the closer we got to the bottom, the firmer his grip became.
A dozen smiling faces turned to us like hungry sharks.
They descended.
I turned out to be the main topic of conversation. The Titans were interested in where I came from and what I was doing there. Some looked at me with curiosity, others disdain. I couldn’t help but notice the latter were young females and might have had their eye on the lord for themselves.
But they didn’t know the truth about our relationship. We were friends, nothing more.
We hadn’t even kissed.
After what felt like years, I burst through the crowd and found a pocket of emptiness beside the tables piled with food.
“Here, this is for you,” Zes said. “You must need it.”
He handed me a drink and I took it without even glancing at it.
Please be alcohol.
Across the room, surrounded by a swarm of well-wishers, Kal glanced at me and flashed me a look of helplessness.
I smiled and raised the drink Zes handed me. I took a deep pull from it.
It tasted like curdled milk and I had to spit the wire-like hairs out. It smelled even worse.
Kal grinned and struggled to contain his laughter. One of the well-wishers thought he was choking and slapped him on the back.
So much for me enjoying this moment, I thought.
“What is this?” I said, raising the drink he’d handed me.
“Titan ale,” Zes said. “It’ll put hairs on your chest. Oh.”
He glanced at me, then his eyes lowered to my breasts, and then back up to my face again.
“I don’t suppose human females have much hair on their chest… do they?” he said.
I shrugged.
“Some do,” I said. “Most go to the Olympics.”
He frowned at me in confusion. I didn’t care. It was a personal joke and I liked it.
I had no idea what time it was, but I knew I had to be cutting it pretty close.
3 HOURS
That had been the warning.
“Excuse me,” I said. “I need to go to the little girl’s room.”
I handed him the hair-producing ale back and left him with an even more confused expression on his face.
I moved along the table piled with finger food until I reached the meat section. Most of it was big and greasy meat from animals I couldn’t even name. A couple of species might have been made extinct from this party alone.
