Talori had felt off when she wasn't able to talk to Brennan much after becoming much busier. It was similar to how she felt when she hadn't been able to talk to him at all.
Originally she had thought that it was mostly because she was lonely and didn't have enough to do but that clearly wasn't it because she had plenty of friends now. It was Brennan specifically that she missed talking to.
Talking to other fae wasn't the same. So she had been ecstatic when he proposed coming to visit for a week. There were so many things she wanted to do with him since they would have more time but she had to run the itinerary past Zale since he was technically here on official business.
That was fine. She had wanted to show him around more of the kingdom anyway. And beyond. She wanted to go out to the coral reef with him and get his expert opinion on the state of things as a marine biologist.
