Zhane lingered where he was for a long moment before hitching a deep sigh and turning to head down the hallway into his room to pick out some new clothes before he threw himself into a shower. It felt like things were getting more complicated, but in a way he would not trade for anything.
From where she'd lingered near the top of the stairs for the last couple of minutes, Yeande had been able to hear the closing of their conversation. She'd promised Zhane she'd stay out of his business where applicable, but that didn't mean -entirely-....
She stood in thought for what felt like a very long time, taking in all of what had happened since she'd heard the knock at the door not a half hour ago.
At length, she moved from where she stood to let herself quietly into the master bedroom where she scooped the phone from its cradle near the bedside and dialed a well-practiced number. Provided he was agreeable, the call would serve two purposes....one of which, hopefully making her feel younger again.
Two rings, and the other end picked up. "Talon...?" she began, smiling. "What would you say to you and me going away for the weekend?"
