"Also, if I didn't trust you, do you think I would have let you do me those things during our stay at the Crystal Cauldron?" Kamila blushed a little, her voice fading in a whisper.

"Point taken." Lith nodded and looked around to check that no one was close enough to listen to their conversation.

He really didn't want anyone to ask him about the Crystal Cauldron.

"I'd say we should wait a bit, though." He said. "My homing instinct toward Elysia is still quite strong and if we make a baby, I might be locked in the house with you for nine months."

"Gods, no!" Kamila said in horror, remembering how overprotective and overbearing Lith had been during the previous pregnancy. "Fine. As soon as you-"

"Hold that thought. I have to take this." Lith raised his hand to stop her and took his communication amulet out of his robe's pocket. "Is everything alright, Strider?"

"I'm fine, if that's what you're asking." The Zouwu replied. "If instead you were referring to the investigation, it's more than alright. I got ourselves a lead. It's a few days old so I've set up the energy-preserving arrays to not lose anything while I wait for you.

"I'm in the Zeneka region. I've tracked our man to a small village along the coast called Xant. When can you be here?"

"Give me one hour." Lith shrugged apologetically to Kamila. "I have to tie up a few loose ends."

"Take your time." Strider showed him a messy room.

The floor and walls bore signs of a struggle and several marks left by blades. Blood spats were everywhere and judging from the shredded mattress, someone had tried to murder whoever was in the bed in their sleep and failed.

"If Vidun Phorr is still alive, I doubt he can have gone far and so his assailants. Also, they have no idea we are on their tail. Whoever got Menadion's grimoire is going to hide like a rat until the dust settles, making it easier for us to find them. Strider out."

"I'm sorry, Kami, I have to go." Lith said once the hologram of the Zouwu disappeared.

"Why are you apologizing?" She tilted her head in confusion. "We've already prolonged our stay here and I knew that you would leave the moment Strider called. Now go, be nice with him for once, and come back soon." _{freewebnøvel.com}

"I know that the baby is off the table for now, but does your offer for sex still stand?" Lith had the pensive, serious expression she recognized as his perverted face.

"Yes, silly." Kamila chuckled. "Just be quick."

"Are you talking about the mission or the sex? Because both can be arranged."

"The mission, smartass!" She playfully punched his shoulder. "I demand my share of fun."

"So needy." Lith sighed in mock annoyance, making her chuckle again.

Lith and Solus would have liked to leave everyone at the Hot Pot, but without their protection, the rest of the family would have been an easy target. It took them a Warp to reach the tavern and pay the bill.

The owner insisted on taking a photo of Lith near the plaque before he left, pleading for him to also sign it. Lith obliged both requests and a few Warps later they were back to Xaanx.
