Eve~
Dinner the next day was less tense, especially with the Beta, Kael, conversing with me. Felicia was scowling as usual, but she did not speak. Elliot, on the other hand, was simply watching. Each time my eyes went to him, he would look away. I hoped he didn't believe I was mad at him.
"How much to commission a painting?" Kael asked. "I need one that can capture my prowess."
I had come to like the blond man with the infectious laugh.
"Of course, but it's gonna cost ya," I replied.
Kael grinned, leaning back in his chair with a smug look. "Name your price, princess."
I chuckled. "I'll need some supplies, and your full cooperation for those long, grueling hours of posing."
Felicia scoffed from her seat. "You mean you're going to spend hours staring at him?"
Kael shot her a look, unfazed. "Can't blame her for wanting to capture this perfection." He gestured to himself dramatically, making me laugh again.
