During their morning shower, Talia checked Damon's condition.
There were no black runes visible on his body, Sapa was unreachable, and their bond was solid.
Witches told Talia that the black runes were unpredictable, and she really hoped that the full moon ritual will be effective and that Sapa won't suffer any permanent consequences.
Damon assured Talia that he was fine, other than not being able to reach his wolf.
After double-confirming that both of their necks still had remnants of the last night's marking (even though they didn't mark each other again in the morning), Talia and Damon reluctantly left the bedroom in time to join others for breakfast.
They enjoyed the privacy that the third floor of the packhouse provided, but they had guests and many important things to handle. Lovey-dovey time was over. For now.
