Snobbish Welcome Party

In no time at all, Daphne once again found herself in a carriage bound for another land. However, instead of the awkward atmosphere that enveloped the carriage when they traveled to Raxuvia, this time, there was nothing but love and comfort as she cuddled into Atticus's chest for the long road ahead. 

Since Atticus was a caring and considerate husband, he made sure the carriage was lined with fluffy pillows for Daphne to rest her tired waist and aching bottom. He made sure to plan their route around Daphne's comfort, ensuring that they stayed in better quality inns at night, so as to better ravish his poor little wife on a supportive mattress. 

He even brought silken bedsheets from the palace! Let no one say Atticus was a brute. 

"You're a menace," Jonah complained, because he wasn't no one, and his dark circles were starting to become a permanent fixture on his face as he continued to stand guard for the couple.
