Inshal thought deep to herself, about FunPup rejecting her and Marlos proposal. Inshal stayed there for hours thinking about them, then she made a decision. 'I need information for the council, in order to do that I need to get close to Marlo and the higher ups so they can trust me to tell their plans and Newlaw himself told me that I need to forget FunPup. It is the perfect plan to accept his proposal but to make it as to try it out to see if it will work, Newlaw could understand as it will distract me from FunPup. Yes I will accept Marlos proposal' Inshal nodded to herself.
Inshal walked around in the forest then went into the sky to exercise her wings. She spent another hour flying around, it cleared her head and she felt calmer. Inshal headed back to the camp, the egg now looked even more comfy and more demons were out, Inshal tried to look for Marlo but he was no were to be seen. She then tried to look for Darkin but no sign of him, she did find Xzaviar though. "Xzaviar, have a minute?" Inshal asked as he was just sitting down having an alcoholic drink.
"What, it's too early" Xzaviar said in a very harsh tone.
"It's midday" Inshal mentioned and he looked up.
"I woke up late?" Xzaviar flicked his tail, "so what do you want?" he asked taking a sip.
"Have you seen Marlo?" Inshal asked but kept a sturn voice.
"Yeah he came out a few hours ago and he just went back into his tent" Xzaviar yawned, "you sure it's not 8?".
"No I woke up at 9 and no-one was out, except for one or two" Inshal answered, "well see you" she said good bye and left for Marlos tent, that is basically hers. Inshal opened the tent door and saw a very tired and confused expression flood Marlos face. "You're... back?" he sat up and invited her in.
"I wanted to talk about this morning" Inshal began.
"Yeah I know, stupid of me, just forget it" Marlo said as if he was scolding himself.
"No!" Inshal jumped and held onto him and looked into his eyes.
"No?" Marlo had a surprised but hopful look.
"I accept, I want to try it out, to see if it would work" Inshal said softly and Marlos eyes lit up. He didn't say anything, she just kissed her and held her in close. "You made the best chose Inshal, you will enjoy it" Marlo promised, "let's sleep, I'm exhausted" he then got the covers over the both of them.
"I'm not tired though" Inshal smiled and nuzzled into him.
"It's cold out, you was out there, you should be exhausted by now" Marlo looked even more confused.
"No, if anything I'm wide awake" Inshal couldn't help but laugh as his knowledge doesn't sound too right.
"Right, I forget that you are warm blooded not clod blooded" Marlo shook his head a laughed with her.
"Yeah, I stay warm ish, why don't you get a firepit in the commen tent? it will prove better for everyone" Inshal suggested and Marlo thought for a moment.
"Yes, it will keep everyone warm but the common tent is a bit too stuffy for that" Marlo observed but kept a tight hug on Inshal.
"Make little holes to let the smoke out or get a window" Inshla suggested more options for him.
"All right, that's a good idea but I'm still tired" Marlo stretched hus back and his tail, "you sure you don't want to nap with me?".
"I'll try but I might not be able to" Inshal had a smile, it was a soft smile that could be cute to anyone.
"That's ok, I just want to cuddle" Marlo kissed her and Inshal licked his lips, they began to make out for a while. Marlo then cuddled her into his body and Wrath his tail around hers, Inshal loved it. She was comfy, secure, safe, warm, calm, happy, loved and soft.
Inshal couldn't sleep but Marlo passed out almost immediately and was snoring at this point. After a long time of just laying there doing nothing, made her feel useless so she carefully got out of Marlos arms and left for the commens tent. It did have a few demons in there but it's not packed, "Inshal, seen you around but I haven't met you, come sit down have a drink" a demon called out to her. He was smaller then every other demon she saw but he has this energy that made all the demons around happy in the cold weather.
"No thank you I don't drink" Inshal declined politely.
"You-don't-drink?" he repeated slowly and in a shocked voice, "you sure there's a demon in there?" he asked.
"What does that mean?" Inshal pinned her ears back as it actually afended her.
"What demon doesn't drink?, look have a weak one at least" he gestured to the bar with a demon pouring drinks.
"I still haven't gotten your name" Inshal flicked her ear impatiently.
"Oh Zeven, Marlos adviser" he bowed his head in superior way, 'I can't wait to see his reaction when Marlo tells everyone about our new relationship'.
"Well have a drink, be a demon" Zeven sat up and she had to look down to make eye contact, he then directed her to the bar.
"Fine only one" Inshal knows that she has to be more like the demons here to fit in and get the information she needs.
"Alright, Kelli! get a drink for the hybrid" Zeven ordered.
"Can you just call me Inshal, saying hybrid affends me" Inshal elbowed him and he had a rather socked look.
"Carfull I'll get Marlo, he has a liking to me so no mercy for you" Zeven warned, Inshal smiled and narrowed her eyes into his.
"Go ahead, I dare you" Inshal flicked her tail and Zeven looked speechless.
"I was joking, no need to be all defensive" Zeven sounded as if he was not intimidated but his eyes betrayed him.
"So what drink do you have prepared for me then?" Inshal asked as Kelli has been working on a fruit and berries, mixed with alcohol.
"A mix of everything really" Zeven shrugged, he was strangely calm compared to all the tens and restless demons.
"Everyone can calm down about the cold, Marlo is going to put a firepit in soon" Inshal said looking around.
"Oh he finally listened to my concerns, I've been asking him for one before winter" Zeven leaned back into himself.
"No I suggested it just now and he was all in, you asked for it before?" Inshal shook her head and looked at him.
"Great my job is at risk now" Zeven tensed up.
"No, I don't want it" Inshal shook her head and took the large wine glass from Kelli.
"Oh good, now enjoy" he took his own drink, that felt like that it came out of nowhere, "cheers" he tapped his drink on hers and took a sip. Inshal nodded and took a sip of her own, it tastes tropical but a hint of something strong with it. "Not bad, what's yours?" Inshal shrugged and asked him, he smiled.
"Told you you'll like it, mine is a whisky, don't think you would like it" Zeven laughed a little and finished his drink.
Inshal sat down and drank her own until it was finished, she felt a little dizzy but was in a great mood. "Want anuther one?" Zeven asked, getting a new drink for himself.
"No, I'm good" Inshal shook her head then got even more dizzy.
"To fix that dizziness you drink more" Zeven said but Inshal is smarter then that.
"I said no" Inshal flicked her tail.
"No I insist, just try a few other drinks" Zeven gave her a small shot.
"Fine but only a few" Inshal accepted and took the small shot, it was really strong and she gagged.
"That was a whisky" Zeven laughed, "here this is a weaker one" he handed her another small shot and it was blue. It tastes nice and much more like the first one, Inshal nodded, Zeven gave her three more and they tasted nice. After a while of this she felt really dizzy and sick, she felt as if she would puke all of it up is someone touched her. "I think you've had enough, you can't even hold your ears up anymore" Zeven moved the others away and laughed.
"Alll eight" Inshal squinted her eyes and leaned back, she catched herself before she fell flat on the floor.
"Inshla" her father called to her, "are you drunk?" Darkin asked when he got to her.
"Yeah I let her try a lot of drinks" Zeven answered and Inshal grabbed her head as a spiting headache came to her.
"I think you need to go to bed" Darkin turned to her, he patted her head but she vomited everything in her stomach and everything started spinning.
