We've nothing like it in Ravka. Tamar and Tolya would die for me, as I would for them, but we've taken no vows.

I'm sorry he was lost to you.

[princess_of_ida]

Thank you. He fulfilled his duty. I still feel his presence to this day.

Grisha don't seem to suffer from the physical frailties adepts do. Necromancy takes a toll on the body. If you ever met my sister, you'd understand as we are identical twins, but few would believe it at first.

[rezni]

Should I wish to meet your sister?
Will she dislike me as much as the Void seems to think she will?

[princess_of_ida]

My sister is gorgeous. She's incredibly charming and knows how to get what she wants. And that's attention.

Give her what she wants and you'd get along just fine. Though I doubt you'd find her intellectually stimulating.

[rezni]

I tend to lose interest without that element, it's true.

Is someone coming to meet you when you return to us? To help with the transformation?

[princess_of_ida]

It's getting dark so we'll be one more night out here. Might take care of it then, but I'm not a bad as I have been. No fangs.

Last time I talked to Alina I told her I was probably going to need her when I got back. But I'm not really... I'm kind of sexed out.

[rezni]

She'll want to be with you.

Even if you don't need sex, I think you need someone, Ianthe.

[princess_of_ida]

I know. I know.

How long can I have her before it starts to bother you? Assuming she wants to stay.

[rezni]

As long as you need her to be with you. As long as she wants to stay.

[princess_of_ida]

I'm really glad she didn't come down here with us.

[rezni]

I understand that. Let's hope none of us ever need go down there again.

Reach out if you need company on the walk back.

[princess_of_ida]

Okay. You can fill me in later on what happened back in town.

Forgive me if I'm very off for a while.

[rezni]

There's nothing to forgive. You and the others have saved us all. Whatever you need while you recover is the least we can do to express our gratitude.

[princess_of_ida]

I know it's your comfort zone, but don't politic me, Nikolai. You don't have to be a king with me.

[rezni]

[ A beat, momentarily wrong-footed. ]

I apologize. It wasn't intentional.

[princess_of_ida]

That's why it's called a comfort zone. Apology accepted.

[rezni]

Come home soon, Ianthe.
