Sorry it took so long to upload a new chapter. Got caught in the back to school rush. Through school, I'll try to upload as often as possible wich will probably be once or twice a week. I am not Sarah J. Maas and do not own any Tog material.

"Manon..." Dorain says, barely above a whisper.

"I took it off." Manon snapped back.

Hurt shone in Dorian's eyes. "Manon," Dorian peaded once more. he felt like a part of his heart had been ripped out of him.

Manon seemed to realize the distress in Dorian's eyes at that moment. She smiled and said softly, "Oh, silly. Not like that. Vester had a not-so-little poop incident in his diaper. I took it off so that I wouldn't get it dirty while I cleaned up. Forgot to put it back on."

Dorian collapsed back into his chair in relief, "You scared the chez out of me."

Manon gives him her winning grin, "I gotta go now, kids at home alone." Her voice turning harder, "When you get home, mister, we are going to have a little chat about you forgeting to pick up your daughter."

With that, Manon stalked out of the room. Abroxas's mighty wing beats coming soon after.

"You know, after everything I've been through, nothing really scares me. The only thing I'm scared of is the my wife," Dorian states.

The room fills with laughter and Emrys comes to collect the plates.

"That was delicious, Emrys." Aelin compliments.

Emrys just nods.

Standing, Dorian starts, "Well, I best be off. Manon is going to bight my head off when I get back to the keep, best not to keep her waiting."

Chaol stands too and complains, "I better go with Dorian."

Chaol and Dorian head towards the door, "Bye, everyone."

Lyssandra transforms into a shadow leopard and growls good bye before leaping out the open window.

Aedion, Rowan and Aelin sit in silence.

"So..." Aedion starts.
