'Do we tell Kami everything about the fusion? I mean everything.' Solus asked.
'It feels like shooting ourselves in the foot and ruining the good news.' Lith replied. 'Look, we did nothing wrong and the last time we fused nothing happened. No one knows for certain if it's even a possibility so telling Kamila would just make things uncomfortable for her.'
'So what do we do?'
'Have a glass of wine every dinner. If after a week Grandma has yet to pop out of thin air to stop you, we are in the clear.'
'And if she does?'
'We are dead.' Lith's somber tone made it clear that he wasn't joking.
Solus swallowed loudly, looking at Salaark for a while before asking her to bring the rest of the Verhens to the Desert.
As predicted, Lith's family was terrified hearing the recount of the battle and overjoyed when they were made aware of the unexpected side effects of the fusion on his life force.
"Where's Kami?" Her absence half made Lith sigh in relief and half ruined the moment for him.
