Asa had a silly grin on his face as he and Ishani entered the reception area of their haven. He had enjoyed their evening out, dancing, enjoying her company. Even with the 'business' of the Invictus, it was more than they had in months. Either Court functions, where one of them were 'working', the Lash party where she had been inundated... he actually had a hard time remembering when the last 'date' they had was.
Could it have really been the Valentine's Day party?
He also remembered the conversation they'd had after Ballo Della Notte, so long ago.
"So," he asked, pausing to kiss her before continuing. "I'm curious. Whatever are you going to do with yourself besides be my 'consort'?" The description still tickled him. "Not that I mind, of course," he added. "You've more than earned a vacation."
