33 Sweet things are plenty if we look hard enough

Rather than in front of an inn, the carriage stopped in the central plaza. It was because Zia suddenly asked me if I wanted to get some snacks. And of course, my excited mind approved.

We attacked the Demon Lord with sparkly eyes full of pleading, and Natha caved in with a sigh. So the carriage stopped just outside the central plaza, and we planned to tour the night market while Angwi went to book rooms in a nearby inn.

Natha put on his incubus disguise and alighted from the carriage first. When I came out of the door, he reached out his hand, like an escort. It was kind of weird because as a man, Valmeier would never receive this kind of treatment.

But...well, I guessed I was technically his...fiancé?

So I took his hand, and a strange wave of relief came over me when I felt the familiar coldness of his hand, that I couldn't help but smile. It was nice that even though he looked different, he still felt like the Natha I knew.
