Ras let Sharindia work but kept her in his arms. "I dunno, I think giving a Highborne noble children to be proud of is worthy of the time we spend together. And making sure our last day together is every bit as enjoyable as possible." He turned her around and kissed her lovingly then moved to the kitchen table. "I wouldn't be a good mate if I didn't let you rest. We'll eat, rest, and go from there. But there's a beautiful forest out there with plenty of trees to pin you against, logs to bend you over and grass to leave imprints in." He nodded after a moment then looked to the window. "I'm glad to have you, but I'm starting to think about The'kal now... even in the mansion she was hated. Everyone loved Arlokk and there was a lot of he said-she said between her and Arlokk, and everyone sided with him."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
