Jera blinked as Ursalo started to laugh, wondering what he'd said that could come off as a joke; he let himself be swept up by the demon's arm, pulled close, and enjoyed the sweet attention from many flickering tongues with a puzzled, but amused look...  Then things were made clear.<br/><br/>Ranuk was Tamlin's fiance.  The giant white demon in the garden;<i>that</i>was his lord's future husband...  Hopefully he hadn't made a total fool of himself, but that was besides the point.<br/><br/>"Ah," was all he said, a sound of realization finally dawning as everything clicked into place.  Ahhhh, he should've known, he should've seen!  And Tam, tsk, he should have let Jera know beforehand, or at least after their meeting in the garden, but he supposed the prince had been a bit distracted...<br/><br/>And Jera was not irked by his mistake, nor was he too embarrassed-- it was rather funny, actually.  The elf grinned as Ursalo ran his hands along his back, feeling muscle and scars under his scaly palms, and he shook his head, making the curls bounce.  "No, they didn't... But I suppose everyone was busy worrying about other things than what a servant knows."<br/><br/>"Well," he continued, curving into the demon's embrace and letting his fingers glide along the shiny bodies of some of Ursalo's snakes, "Then I guess that means tomorrow could work out perfectly...  Tam does hunt, and he might like some time with his betrothed...  and I would like more time with you."<br/><br/>His grin grew mischevious, and he lightly kissed the nearest snake on its head.  Ursalo's strange appendages had frightened away nearly every elf he'd met so far, but Jera was quite enamored with them...
