Chapter 1366 - Travelling Tavern (Part 2)

"Marchioness Distar knows that you’re a cheapskate and she found a way to let you save money on mana crystals." Kamila chuckled.

"Yeah, I really appreciate that." "She has done a lot for me over the years both in front and behind the scenes. I owe Mirim a lot, maybe even more than I owed Trequill." Lith said, sighing at the painful memory of his dead friend.

"Then be a good boy and prepare a great gift for her. Like a full optional DoLorean built according to Grandma’s suggestions." Kamila chuckled while walking arm in arm.

It still felt weird calling such a powerful being with a familiar nickname. The idea that Salaark might pop up unannounced for Lith’s birthday only made things more amazing.

"Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already thought of that." Lith said while looking her in the eyes. "More importantly, I’m struggling to find a special gift for a very special person. Constables get a lot of magical trinkets and I hate gifting clothes.

"Are you sure you don’t want a DoLorean as well?"

"Thanks, but no thanks. It’s too big of a gift and I didn’t do anything to deserve it." Kamila replied while looking away.

She appreciated the thought but she hated it when Lith failed to realize that he was offering her a betrothal gift. Especially since there was no intention of proposing to her behind it.

"We’ll have to agree to disagree." Lith shrugged.

He had never forgotten the kindness and selflessness that she had showered him with the night of Lark’s death. It was only thanks to her that grief had left no permanent scar and Lith was eager to find a way to return the favor.

Yet without Solus, he was oblivious to the implications of his own words. She would never follow them during their dates, hating the role of the third wheel.

Solus had remained in the tower with her friends to make the best she could of her own life.

"Where are you taking me tonight?" Lith asked after the silence lasted long enough to be awkward.

"It’s a new establishment that one of my colleagues found by chance. He told me that they have a great selection of beers, all kinds of spicy foods, and reasonable prices so it should be your dream place." She giggled.

"He?" Lith stopped abruptly while holding her hand tight. "Should I be jealous?"

"Always. Never take me for granted." She looked him into the eyes before giving him a quick, soft kiss that was barely a peck.

"I never do." Lith returned it in a longer and more passionate fashion that garnered them a number of reproachful looks.

Public displays of affection were considered rude in the Desert as well.

"Stop it, silly. You’ll get us arrested." She pushed him away with a giggle

"It would just give us a room for the night that I don’t have to pay for. Are you threatening me with a good time?" He said with a chuckle.
