Sable carefully used the stylus to open the photos, and there was the wedding in all its glory.The images were taken before the guests arrived, and then as a few of the more notable groupings showed up.Nylora, with her dark skin and silvery tattoos, with Solar and Demuel and the baby had been the first picture.The rest of the images went by, including several of the dance troupe, and Krys winced.Her clan mark was visible.She was going to have to cover it up if the troupe came up short again.
Sable asked shyly, “Can you teach me to dance that way?It looked like so much fun and had so much energy.Benko filled a sketchbook with images of you guys and has been trying to find the right stone all morning.”
“What?”
Sable grinned.“He’s going to make you into statues, and there is a gallery in town that wants to carry his work.He’s going to speak to them later in the week.”
“Oh.Great.Well, I suppose that he needs income.”
“Not really.He lives with Neekil and his other brothers.”
“Ah.Right.”
“So, can you teach me the dancing?”
“Uh, I will ask Hura and see if Vaia wants to have a class here once a week.Maybe Wednesdays.”
Sable smiled.“Thank you.”
Reynal was casual.“So, which gallery?”
Sable chuckled.“I will get the information from Benko.”
Krys blinked and just turned and walked away.Reynal looked at her as if she were a collectible.The problem was, aside from the surprise, she didn’t really mind.
Chapter Five
Krys got the text andblinked.“Right.The happy couple wants to chat.I hope everything is fine on their end.”
Reynal caught up with her and grinned.“If they need assistance, I believe it is out of your purview.”
“Uh-huh.You would not believe the classes I have taken.”
They walked into the house, and she headed for the kitchen, where Vaia was sitting in Azreen’s lap, and she smiled as Krys came in.
“Hey, cuz.So, Azreen wants to book his birthday party and my birthday party next year, and a smaller tea for our anniversary.Can you do a tea at night?”
