Sequoia Coast Imagination rules the world.

Beric was a little glad that Verrine had not pushed the subject of leaving Wheeling Gull Isle. If he had, Beric would have been tempted to leave and join Horizon Ridge. But, he also would have felt like a traitor. Majesty had not done anything to deserve his betrayal, and therefore he could not give it. Maybe in due time they could find a way to live in harmony, though, once things settled down a little. Beric would not give up seeing Verrine and Julooke because someone was mad of where they lived. They did not move there to harm anyone, and in time, others would see that.

With a smile, Beric rolled his eyes when his friend admitted he had not yet told Julooke of his feelings. Everyone falls in love with Julooke. You better speak up soon before some other male does, he warned. He wasn't really joking. He knew the pair were destined to be together, if one of them would just open their damn mouths and say how they feel. You two have been joined at the hip since you met. She must feel the same, or she would have gone looking for someone else by now. So, what do you have to lose by telling her? He put his friend on the spot, wanting an answer, and his pointed expression showed it.
