Having someone to share your secret with is a blessing

"Just a day?" I tapped the spoon against my lips, tilting my head in confusion. "Is one day enough?"

I mean...they hadn't met for a month, which meant Eruha hadn't been absorbing any magic in that period--assuming he only took it from Lesta. And even disregarding that...if I were to be away from Natha for a month, I wouldn't let him out of my sight for...well, more than a day. 

"As expected of someone who was going at it for three nights," Opti commented, his shit-eating grin could be seen from across the table. 

"Shush! Not at the dining table!" I hissed at him, once again grasping Jade's startled head. Why did the conversation turn my way?! 

Arta giggled in response, but Malta smacked the shapeshifter's head for me. Thanks, but...did this mean she knew too? 

Ugh--seems like just about everyone knew about it already; not even twenty-four hours after the airship landing.
