“I wouldn’t hurt him...much.”
“Your reflexes kept you out of the escort ranks.Be happy that we just started to have bodyguards and surrogates.You qualify as either.”
Lalli shrugged.“I like being a chef and cracking the occasional head.”
Zera nodded.“I know.You are good at both.”
“Oh, that reminds me, my work visa is coming up for renewal.”
“If Klauz won’t authorize it, I will.”
“Okay.I might need both of you as my hours are about to be cut below full-time.”
“Oh, shit.Right.”
Lalli chuckled.“Don’t worry.I either sort it out or continue travelling.It isn’t that deep.”
Zera sighed.“You are a useful addition to the company.I don’t want to lose that.You.”
Lalli laughed.“Then, when I give you the documentation, fill it out.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Lalli laughed.“You had to mention the eye thing.”
“You have orange and green lizard eyes.They are cool.”
“And not seen away from my home.”
“But you travelled, and here you are.”
“Yup.It’s been fun so far.”
“Oh, there may be a conflict with your patron and the wedding.”
Lalli groaned.“What?”
“He is a friend of the ambassador, and Hever is her daughter.So, he is going to be there, and he was interested in getting a bodyguard for the day.”
“Nope.I am attending as a guest.I have the day blocked out.He’s a big boy, and nearly all of the team members and defenders and guards are going to be there.He will be fine.”
Zera nodded.“Yes, and he did come and go before you were available.”
“Right.I am going to get my roots touched up before the wedding, just in case he gets nosey.”
“What?”
“Oh, he is trying to determine my country of origin.My accent intrigues him, and I am pretty sure he’s trying to snag DNA samples.”
Zera blinked.“Huh.Those are courtship behaviours for his people.”
“That does explain why he tried to cop a feel the first time.”Lalli snorted.“That didn’t end well.”
“He only mildly complained.”
“I threatened to press charges.”
Zera grinned.“I remember.”
