章 770: Nerves

Kael was nervous, but not for the reasons one might have believed. Unlike the last time he had been in a similar situation, he had made a concerted effort to be better prepared to meet the Frosts. Or at least, that's what he had thought. Now, as he sat here, surrounded by seven ladies, with only Cai present to provide the necessary testosterone levels to balance the female energy, he found himself at a complete loss.

This was not at all what he had expected. All day yesterday and this morning, Dora had been buzzing around, a mix of happiness and nerves as she prepared for the ladies' arrival. Kael had braced himself for what he was sure would be an intense grilling. He had even gone so far as to look up the kinds of questions they might ask him, carefully preparing his answers. Dora's nervouse energy had rubbed off on him.
