“Oh.Right.”
“Mik has already met the mages from the dark elves.The conversation went about as well as conversations do when Mik isn’t on the clock.”She grinned.“Chaos magic has an effect on social controls.”
“So, she is the chaos mage mentioned.”
“Correct.She’s a therapist by day, and she moonlights as a character in the Riot Magic game.”Meritha laughed.“She’s scrappy and gives absolutely no fucks.”
Myrtle’s eyes were darting between them, and she turned to her mate.“I am getting an idea.”
“Will it be done before the baby arrives?”
Myrtle ran her hand over her belly.“If you guys keep up a maintenance schedule, yes.Just like when I was pushing my last novel.”
“You can do it in six weeks?”
Myrtle nodded.“This baby isn’t coming out until I finish this story.”
Teyval chuckled.“Then go, and kiss Denith, and we will be on our way.”
Myrtle paused.“Emhara, can I talk to you again?”
“Yes.Of course.You want that mural, after all.”
Myrtle beamed.“You are right, I do.”
“Send me photos of your other two mates, and everyone will surround your baby.”
Myrtle smiled.“Thank you.”
Duran smiled.“They can get in touch with any of us, and we can do a phone swap.”
Teyval pushed his seat back and inclined his head.“It was interesting meeting you.As they will tell you, our training didn’t cover this.”
Emhara chuckled.
Duran nodded.“You are not kidding.”
Emhara nodded.“It was nice to meet you, Myrtle.”
Meritha nodded as well.“I am sure we will meet again, Myrtle.”
Denith came out of the kitchen, saw Myrtle being eased to her feet, and handed Teyval a foil swan.“Extra dessert.She has writing face.”
Teyval laughed.“She does indeed.I have to get her home before she explodes or starts writing on the dashboard again.”
Myrtle walked to Denith and got a kiss.“Everything was great.Well done.No notes today.”
Denith stared at her and leaned in for a more in-depth kiss.
Emhara chuckled.“She paid, and he’s giving her change.In pennies.It’s going to take a while.”
Her guys snorted, and eventually, Denith released Myrtle’s face, and she blinked sleepily.
Myrtle asked, “Do any of the mages have elves?”
Meritha pointed at Emhara and her three.“If you are wondering about a relationship, Nimue and Evadon have been together for a year.He will pick her up from work daily.”
Duran blinked.“Evadon?”
