Izzy looked up. "What?"
"Like I'm still kinda upset about what I learned, but it's like it somehow got wrapped in cotton, not even the Sacred Chamomile did that."
"Sacred Chamomile?" Dav asked. Izzy noticed that the men around them were standing almost at attention.
"Sacred Chamomile is exclusively used for intensely traumatic events, sweetheart, are you well?" Dav asked, concern written all over his face.
Meryn nodded. "I'll be okay."
"No one is after you, is there?" one of the warriors asked.
"I don't think so," Meryn paused. "Though, that tailor is probably super pissed at me."
"Who on earth would get mad at a sweet thing like you?" Dav asked.
"It was the tailor from Elegant Expressions, I jumped on his back and beat on his ear and then Meryn tased him," Izzy explained.
The men's faces turned murderous. "Did he assault you?"
"No, worse. He called my mate a traitorous bastard," Izzy said, still feeling kinda angry about that.
Meryn nodded. "I was gonna tase him again until he pissed himself, but Aiden was getting growly, so I couldn't reach him."
"Oron and Aiden are two lucky bastards," one guy said. He looked up panicked. "I meant that in a good way."
Izzy laughed. "We know."
The waitress came back out and handed Izzy a cloth bag. "Here you go, dear."
Izzy shook her bracelet. "Can I charge it to this?"
Dav laughed. "It's not like a credit card, it basically tells shop owners that you have permission to send the invoice to the royal palace to be paid."
Meryn eyed her bracelet. "Do you think we could buy some fae weapons?"
Dav's laughter boomed. "Little lady, if you have a taser that took down a full-grown fae, you have a damn good weapon."
Meryn looked disappointed. "But there's no blood when I tase people," she complained.
"Lucky bastards," another guy repeated.
The waitress handed Izzy a tiny pouch. "I saw that she has a sprite, so I packed a couple tiny vials of honey for him."
Meryn smiled brightly. "Thank you!"
Izzy passed Meryn the tiny pouch who handed it off to Felix.
They waved goodbye then headed out into the street. Once outside, Ryuu set his charge down.
"It's too damn bright here," Meryn complained.
"Aren't you half fae?" Izzy pointed out.
Meryn went to answer then stopped. "I guess I can't say I'm human anymore."
"Why not? You may be half fae, but you're definitely human."
"How does that work?"
