Chapter 82

“You have a…uh, nice house,” Eric eventually said. “A little sparse, but it’s good.”

Benjamin snickered. “Thanks.”

“May I ask you something?”

“You just did.”

Eric scoffed. “I’m serious, baby.”

Benjamin chuckled. “Fine. Shoot.”

“Why do you have a house? And a bed. I mean, you don’t really need either of them, do you?”

“No, but many years ago, I created a house using my magic because I wanted some semblance of normalcy. This may sound crazy to you, but I enjoy lying down on a bed even though I don’t have to sleep the way mortals do. It feels wonderful to be able to rest up on a flat and comfortable mattress.”

Eric raised both of his eyebrows while staring at Benjamin. “Do you even feel tired? Like ever?”

Benjamin shook his head. “Not in the same way mortals do, but I can still appreciate that feeling you get when you’re relaxing on a bed.”

“And food does nothing for you either, does it?”
