The sun has already set by the time we finish discussing our plan for both the investigation and motivating the mercenaries from Gray's Shop. I can see a hint of doubt in Bryce's eyes, but he stays silent and nods along with our ideas. I guess it's a good thing that we have been working together for quite some time now, so the ideas are flowing smoothly.
After bidding us goodnight, Bryce heads back to his own bed, while Rexford remains in mine. I can tell by the way he is staring at me that he wants my magic.
"What?" I still ask.
"You know what," he replies, still with that entitled look on his face. "I need a magic refill tonight."
I sigh and face him. Thankfully with him, I just need to hold his hands and then magic will pass through. It is not as intimate as with Bryce is, so he doesn't make me feel vulnerable or exposed.
"Here," I say, offering my hand.
