183 Tales of old

Rowan arrived late at night when Syryn was already asleep. He slipped into bed only to realise that a redhead was wedged between him and Syryn.

"Hello Rowan," Red said in a whisper. "Why are you late?"

The surprised blond answered honestly. "Duty."

"Is that so?" Red shuffled closer to Rowan so Syryn wouldn't hear them speak.

"What else would keep me busy, Lucien?" Rowan asked with some amusement.

"A late-night orgy."

Despite the inappropriateness of it, he couldn't help but smile. "Of course. I had a wonderful time."

The redhead made a hmph sound. "Take me with you next time."

"Is that what you stayed up to ask me?" The anti mage inquired.

"No. I wanted to ask you what you plan to do with Syryn."

"You mean his demon half?"

"Mmm."

"I don't have an answer for that yet."

"So he continues to battle it till one day he loses to it?"
