1/2

[He looks up, genuinely surprised.]

I didn't mean-

[It's not like he's upset with Damen or anything, he’s not. It's only that there are standards in choosing a partner -a king’s mate especially- and if Damen were to set eyes on Lunafreya and realise how brighter she glows Laurent would be hurt, grievously, but would he really blame him? It’s just a fact of life. Much like how nobody would want a feral horse who is wild, unmanageable, and frankly an asshole.

Nobody except Damianos, reassuring him immediately, giving him- books.

The gem on his cuff- the source of his magic, he'd said, the mark of his contract- tingles with nervous energy. If Damen looks, it's shimmering like a blue-tinted mother-of-pearl - the colour has brightened into something almost white.

Those are books and he receives them with the feeling of a corkscrew driven into his chest.]
