Rather than in front of an inn, the carriage stopped in the central plaza. It was because Zia suddenly asked me if I wanted to get some snacks. And of course, my excited mind approved.
We attacked the Demon Lord with sparkly eyes full of pleading, and Natha caved in with a sigh. So the carriage stopped just outside the central plaza, and we planned to tour the night market while Angwi went to book rooms in a nearby inn.
Natha put on his incubus disguise and alighted from the carriage first. When I came out of the door, he reached out his hand, like an escort. It was kind of weird because as a man, Valmeier would never receive this kind of treatment.
But...well, I guessed I was technically his...fiancé?
So I took his hand, and a strange wave of relief came over me when I felt the familiar coldness of his hand, that I couldn't help but smile. It was nice that even though he looked different, he still felt like the Natha I knew.
