"You'll catch a cold!" Lilly stamped around to the other side of Rysa's bed and forcefully covered her with the blanket.
The forced smile on her face was twitching under the strain as she attempted to prevent herself from slapping this cougar! Kace quickly averted his gaze so that Lilly could not see that he was almost tempted by Rysa's offer. Now that his line of sight with her was broken, some clarity came racing back to his mind.
"Ah, Grugda said that you wanted to see me?" Kace returned his gaze now that it was safe to do so.
"All business and no fun… Still, that has its own appeal." The blanket rose and fell with the heavy sigh that Rysa let out. "Have you decided what you will do with this place?"
Kace's eyes lit up as Rysa immediately touched on the problem that he was facing. It sounded like she already had something in mind, which would be a great help! Kace tried to keep the excitement from his voice as he replied.
