"I swear I was about to mention your name, too, but it just never came up. It's ridiculous."
I hunger no more. Please wash me and you will put the oil on so I do not itch?
"Of course I will. That was phrased much better, Sedath, thank you." The gold tipped her head up, squinting but there was something joyful about it.
Thank you. I will still get my way but everyone will be nice when I say things like thank-you and please? Why do pretty words make it better?
"Pretty words mean you show respect for those around you and don't think of them as lesser or not as important as you."
I am the best, all should know it. Sedath sat primly, her eyes whirling sedately as she let out a yawn. All know it already. I am golden. And pretty. And a little tired.
While all of this was going on, Zahrah was gently cleaning her lifemate and oiling her. She smiled at both Aederyn and Alekse, already exhausted through the bond with her lifemate.
"Soon, you will be sleeping in your wallow, love, and I will be taking a nap with you," her voice was a soft sing-song, almost a croon. "I know a thing or two about fussy babies and you, darling one, need your sleep so you can grow. Right?"
...I suppose you could be right, the little gold said skeptically. Besides, Jenath needs to grow, too, she shall be the best flier of any green because I say so. We will all sleep and grow. Is it very far? You may need to carry me.
"Of course I will. That was phrased much better, Sedath, thank you." The gold tipped her head up, squinting but there was something joyful about it.
