"The only other tests that comes to mind that all of you can do is fighting and sex." The look on her face made my tongue flick out. Her eyes had closed and she took a deep breath. Our mother had done that when she was upset about something. The smell of her fear coated my tongue. So I pulled her into me. To my surprise she turned into me and put her head on my chest.
"Why the fear Princess?" I asked her.
Her hands went to my waist and I realized she was taking this chance to touch me. Her fingers were rubbing small circles into my scales. I wondered if she was doing it consciously but did not care much either way. She was touching me. "I do not want to make you all fight. You all seem like you can fight."
"She is about to do it again," Cepheus said.
"Shut up," Rithô snapped. "It makes her feel better."
