175 May The Blue Fire Save Your Soul

"Good morning." Gary says with a smile.

"Why is it morning, already?" Siv whines.

"Because the night is over?" He teases.

"Shut up." She puts a pillow on her head. "I blame you and your bath." She says with a muffled voice. "That is why I had to stay up later to finish those spells with Colby."

"You could have refused my offer, love." Gary gently removes the pillow and kisses her closed eyes. 

"Ugh, can we just go later in the afternoon?" She asks.

"Well, since none of us has ever been to the temple, it might take longer to find the exact location." Gary explains.

"Fine." Siv says with her eyes still closed. "Five more minutes." 

"By the way." Gary hesitates for a moment. "I am staying." 

"What?" Siv's eyes open wide. "What do you mean, staying? Here, in So?"

"Yes, I will help with the move to Aviko." He answers. Siv is quiet for a moment.

"Why?" She asks.
