Verendi (Part 1)

"I'm not on a leash! It's just that since it's still our honeymoon and going to Verendi might be dangerous, I needed my wife's approval." Lith blushed a little in embarrassment.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Zoreth sighed. "Bytra did the same to me soon after our marriage. Don't kill him, darling. Don't destroy a whole building just to get the job done faster. Talking is always an option." 

She imitated Bytra's voice making it sound shrill and annoying, but whenever Zoreth talked about her wife, her lips curved up into a smile.

"You know, I wish that Vastor and Zinya have such an honest relationship as well. They always argue because he refuses to tell her where he goes and why. So far, she has been patient, but if he doesn't open up a little, things will get ugly."

"What about the rest? How long will the mission take?" Lith asked.
