Chapter 29
“I want to stay with Liselle and make sure she’s comfortable.” Vevin stubbornly stood next to the bed with his arms crossed. He didn’t want to leave Liselle’s side to fight the sstejj.
Tathan glared at him with lowered eyebrows.
Marrraa had come to get them and listened to the disagreement with wide eyes. She remembered that the men considered Vevin to be the superior warrior.
“Vevin.” Liselle voice was firm. “I’ll be just fine. It’s bad enough that I have to stay in bed while everyone else does the work, but it’s not fair that your efforts should be taken away from them as well.” She reached out and touched his arm. “I know you care for me, but I’ll be displeased if you treat me like a figurine to always stand guard over.”
The dragon blushed, his cheeks becoming a dark purple. “I’m sorry, Lady Liselle. I just don’t want to leave you.” He dragged a toe back and forth on the floor.
“I know, Vevin. Sometimes a girl needs a day alone to rest quietly though. Go beat up some sstejj and have fun with it.”
His face brightened at that. “That will be fun. I should catch up on gill shots. I bet I can pass Sir Danth and Tathan combined.” He began doing what the rest of them assumed was a gill shot dance. His smile was sharp and he did a spin.
“Go, boys. Go with Marrraa and keep the workers safe.” Liselle shooed them away.
They each gave her a hug before going. She settled back down under the covers, falling asleep as they closed the door.
