"Yes, I've asked Solus to be my partner as well in raising our daughter and she accepted." Kamila said.
"What?" Lith was aware that he sounded like a broken record, but he was too scared and confused to care.
"Kami, without a mind link, this will take us all day. Mind if I bring him up to speed?" Solus asked.
"Sure." This time, when Solus' eyes turned black and Lith's golden, Kamila didn't seem to mind.
"I need some air." Lith felt suffocating.
He was relieved that the fusion hadn't caused another pregnancy and terrified by the new bond between the two women. Lith couldn't hide anything from Solus and Kamila played him like a fiddle.
If they worked together, his stone ring was no different from a slave item.
"Okay." A snap of Solus' fingers created ample windows and even a balcony.
"That's not what I m- Never mind." While he covered his face with his hands, whining, Kamila told Solus everything up to the Warp Steps.
"So he made a nursery and even practiced changing diapers! That's so romantic." Solus sighed as if she had just watched a rom-com.
"Then we moved here and you can imagine the rest." Kamila said, blushing a little while Solus blushed as well.
She had the memories of her own past deeds plus Lith's from the fusion so her imagination ran wild.
While Lith was still shocked by Kamila sharing such unnecessary details and by the words the two women had exchanged in the tower acquiring a new whole meaning, Kamila told Solus about their plans for the immediate future.
"Thanks for involving me in the decision, Kami. It means the world to me." Solus hugged Kamila gently, holding her like the most precious crystal on Mogar.
"No need to thank me. As I had to repeat multiple times to Lith to hammer it through that thick skull of his, this is our life. We are going to take this kind of decision together." Kamila said.
Never before "we" had had such a terrifying ring to it. Lith wanted to cry but no one seemed to notice his distress.
'I bet they do. They just don't care.' He inwardly sighed.
"I agree with naming the child after Elina. Mom deserves all the happiness on Mogar. As for the visits, I'd like to start from Inxialot." Solus said.
"Meeting Aunt Loka might be unpleasant. Either I recover new sad memories or she acts up, it would be very depressing. On top of that, Malyshka will be there as well for our protection and she's pissed off at you.
"Liches instead are funny and I'm really curious about Inxialot's country house."
"Liches are funny?" Lith echoed. "Have you hit your head or what?"
"They are when you are certain that they can't do you any harm." Solus shrugged. "Also, I really hope we get to meet Zolgrish and Ratpack again since our Lich associate is Inxialot's apprentice."
Kamila furrowed her brows at Solus, sharing Lith's concerns. At least until Solus showed her all their previous encounters via a mind link. After that, Kamila had a fit of a belly laugh, crying in hilarity.
"I'm with Solus. They do seem funny, Scrooge. Can you show me the secret Lich handshake, please?"
"No. It's embarrassing!" Lith said.
"Pretty please? I can use a good laugh after worrying so much." Kamila looked at him with loving eyes, her hand instinctively moving on her womb.
"Fine!" Lith's determination shattered and he conjured a hard-light construct of Zolgrish.
