Vur, its ti to get up.
Vurs eyes creaked open, and he let out a yawn as he stretched his arms over his head. Then, he sat up and arched his back while smacking his lips a few tis. He glanced to the side, where Tafel was sitting with so clothes folded in her lap. She was wearing a purple dress and translucent light purple gloves that went past her elbows. Vur blinked, and Tafel let out a small smile upon seeing his reaction.
Vur nodded. You sll nice, he said and leaned in close before taking a sniff.
Tafel blinked and tilted her head. Wasnt Vur supposed to comnt on her appearance? Is sll the first thing you notice about a person?
Vur pulled back and rubbed his chin while lowering his head. He humd. After a bit, he looked Tafel in the eye and shook his head. No, he said. When I see sothing, I usually think about how it would taste first.
Even people? Tafel asked, raising an eyebrow.
Vur nodded.
That explains a lot, Tafel said. No wonder why Vur kept his distance from strangers; he assud all humans tasted bad. Unless soone looked like they tasted good, Vur would have a negative first impression of them. Tafels brow furrowed. What would a good-tasting person look like? It probably had sothing to do with the way they slled as well. Tafels lips slipped into a frown, and she looked at Vur. Do I look tasty?
Dont answer that, Vur, Stella said, popping her head out of Vurs chest. Its a trap. No matter how you respond, you lose!
Vur looked down at the fairy queen. Then, he looked at Tafel. He shrugged and grabbed the clothes off of the demons lap. He raised them up with his arms, letting the suit drop down to fully display itself. It was dark-blue, almost black, and golden threads were embroidered on the material, resembling dragon scales. In the right light, the dark-blue color took on the sa hue as the sky. Vur touched the fabric with his fingers and frowned. Was this always in my closet?
No, Tafel said. I got it from Ed Edward. He gave it to you for free, but he had a request. He wants you to pose for a painting while wearing the suit, and I told him youd agree as long as you could sleep while the painter did his work. He agreed and said it was easy enough for a good painter to draw your eyes as if they were open.
Vur rubbed the fabric and nodded. I guess I could sleep in these for a bit. He stood up on the bed and got dressed, pulling his clothes on within a few seconds.
Tafel stared at him as he did so. When he was done, she let out a sigh. If only it were that easy for to get ready. She had spent three hours doing her hair, donning her clothes, and putting on her makeup. Dont forget to brush your teeth.
Vur held up his palm, and a gust of wind swirled around, creating a miniature cyclone in his hand. Vur held up his other palm, and a ball of water appeared. He cupped his hands together and engulfed the resulting twister with his mouth. His cheeks and lips occasionally bubbled, and after a bit, he spat the water out. Before it could land on the bedsheet, flas appeared around the spray of water, turning it into steam. Done.
Tafel stared at Vur. Are the elentals inside your body fine with you using their powers like that?
Of course, Vur said. Theyre fine with everything I do. Its part of the contract Stella had them make. As long as I want to do it, they have to be okay with it.
Or else, Stella added, raising one finger. At so point, she had crawled out of the tattoo on Vurs chest and up through the collar of his shirt. Now, she was sitting on his shoulder. She humd to herself and kicked her feet back and forth.
Are you excited for the wedding? Tafel asked the obviously cheerful fairy.
Weddings arent really catered towards fairies, Stella said and made a face. The food portions are totally off, and there isnt a section devoted to how aweso we are. The fairy queen snorted and rolled her eyes. Who are we even supposed to dance with?
Well, when you get married, you can design a wedding thats unfriendly for humans, Tafel said. If youre not excited for the wedding, what are you so bouncy for?
rvins going to sprout soon, Sheryl said, but her voice ca out muffled due to the layers of cloth blocking the runes on Vurs shoulder. The armadillo is really helping rvin grow, but I do feel sorry for it sotis. Even if werent a fire elental, I wouldnt be too happy if I had to drink as much water as it does every day.
rvin has nothing to do with why Im happy, Stella said and wrinkled her nose in Sheryls general direction. The world is beautiful. Life is great. Bees sll like flowers. I dont need a reason to be cheerful. Cant a fairy queen appreciate the world without having her motives questioned? You guys act like I dont know how to enjoy the world or sothing; it isnt like I tried to destroy it before.
Right, Tafel said with a straight face. She looked at Vur. We have to portal over to Gloria and Ramon to take them to the wedding venue. Ill need your help with supplying the mana to transport the whole family of dragons over.
Vur nodded. Are we going now?
Hang on, Tafel said and grabbed at the tie around Vurs neck. She fiddled with it for a bit before letting go. It was a little crooked. You ready?
Yep.
Tafels horns glowed silver, and a portal appeared on the bed beside the two of them. The demon gestured for Vur to go through. After you.
