Tinasha:  Tinasha gave him a bright smile, though only for show. "Lazar was found asleep in an empty chamber. He was only knocked out with magic, and Doan is examining him. There is a team in pursuit of Lady Zefiria, but she hasn’t returned to her home. Since the hex used on you resembles the one that was placed on Legis, we can assume Valt is responsible on both counts. He’s managed to steal Eleterria right out from under us. Sorry." Despite the apology, it was clear Tinasha felt only rage.

Oscar:  Oscar cut in with one of the eleven ways of appeasing her he had thought of. "Hey, Tinasha."

Tinasha:  "What?" She responded, her ear-to-ear smile frightening.

Oscar:  "First of all, thank you for saving me. And I’m sorry. I let my guard down." Those few words were all he had to say.

Tinasha:  Tinasha narrowed her eyes at him. While her lips were curved into an approximation of a smile, she looked more like a statue than a person. Tinasha set Akashia aside and got onto the bed, crawling slowly over to Oscar on hands and knees, resembling nothing so much as a lithe jungle cat. She assessed him with the eyes of a predator. Then she leaned down and pressed a light kiss to his neck. In a titillating voice, she whispered, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Oscar:  "I’m sorry." He grumbled reluctantly, sulking.

Tinasha:  Tinasha burst out laughing. A childlike gleam came into her dark eyes. "It’s a bit fun having our positions reversed for once."

Oscar:  "Oh yeah? Well, it makes it a little better to know you’re enjoying yourself."

Tinasha:  "I may be feeling pleased, but I am fifty times more absolutely livid with you."

Oscar:  "Don’t call off our engagement."

Tinasha:  "I wouldn’t!" Tinasha shouted crossly. When she touched Oscar’s shoulder, the marks on his body that were placed there to infuriate her all disappeared at once. Looking deeply unamused, Tinasha sat back onto Oscar’s lap. "I’m glad nothing worse happened to you. I didn’t want to have to kill someone for personal reasons."

Oscar:  "So you were thinking of killing me?" Oscar muttered, something cold running through him.

Tinasha:  Tinasha threw him an appalled look. "Of course I wasn’t. I was talking about her. I placed a tracker on her, which I undid once I learned you had simply been careless. If I’d known she was working with Valt, I would have kept it on her. That’s my mistake. I should have knocked her out when I met her in the gardens." Tinasha said lightly, as if she wasn’t discussing life and death. Her confidence in her magic remained apparent, however. This was her true self, the Tinasha who wasn’t a child or a queen.

Oscar:  Oscar couldn’t help but grin at her.

Tinasha:  The sight prompted Tinasha to frown. "Do you understand what you did?"

Oscar:  "I do.
