Luciano quickly returned to the small cottage with Giovanni trailing behind him. The air was heavy with the scent of wildflowers and the distant sound of fey chatter drifted through the trees. As he pushed the door open, he was met with the slight of the purple pixie flying towards him with a mischievous smile on her tiny face and the orb of the fey fetter noose clutched in her small hands.
"Going somewhere?" he mused sarcastically, immediately grabbing the orb from her while raising an eyebrow at her.
Her eyes widened in surprise, not expecting to see him standing there in the doorway. Worriedly, she stammered, "My leash."
Giovanni shut the door behind them, his greys cold and calculating as he surveyed the small cottage.
"Queen Aeliana of the Oidoria Court is said to be holding a ball tonight, so I was simply heading there."
