~ LHARS ~
Lhars had spent two hours making his quarters at the City ready. Luckily the primary Clan's Second's chamber was only across the courtyard from the female hall. He'd struggled even turning his back on it, knowing Kyelle was in there and there were so many males around. But if he couldn't take her away for the Solitude, he could at least give her something to remember.
He'd spread fresh furs on his sleeping platform, lit candles on the bedside tables, made a platter of snacks, and filled a wineskin and a waterskin. He'd realized that the best time to be alone with her would be while everyone had gone for the evening meal and was distracted. While he didn't think any of the males would fight him for her, it was instinct to get her as far from other males as he could.
