Moonspear When I see little lights in the shadows

His friend made a salient point. Did the women he’d trysted with know that going in? Talisman liked to think they’d all given him informed consent. He’d even made a point of it with Kusuma, he knew. Still, he was pretty sure Alaric’s statement would live rent-free in his head for a while.

Well, it’s been real, Alaric, but I do think I’m gonna go sleep off this fine repast, Talis said with a little snort at his own pompous phrasing. Remember, come find me if you need anything. I haven’t had many opportunities in life to build and foster friendships. I really wanna give it my best shot.

With a twitch of his tail, Talisman bowed his head to the healer. He then padded back toward his own sleeping spot. Even long after he curled up and closed his eyes, he couldn’t stop thinking about Alaric’s various comments, two in particular: the one about informed mothers and the one about his adorableness. Both made his cheeks hot and his insides squirm a little bit.
