When I woke up, I was disappointed to find Kyrina was already gone. The bed felt chilled, so I got up. I was really hoping to cuddle with her some and steal some kisses, but that was out of the question now; training lie waiting outside this door; I got my clothes on and headed outside, not wanting to make Dresnal wait.

I walked over and joined them on the ground, and Tilly put her hand on my lap, smiling at me. She was so beautiful, even as an Xenophin, noting could mar the natural beauty of her facial structure or her smile.
