A wavy haired brunette poked her head out of the entry hall and looked at her fiance sitting up in the stands, before tucking her back onto the nearby wall. She was extremely glad that Qat looked to be perfectly fine… and extremely ashamed at the amount of overreaction she had been having. Elua took a deep breath to calm her further racing thoughts.
'Okay, she's fine. She's just... sitting there. Probably watching someone's late training or a match. Not kidnapped, not hurt, not...'
She shook her head and tapped the back of her skull against the wall, realizing how ridiculous her fears had been in a region like this. She almost laughed at the absurdity of it all. Almost.
'I was thousands of years old. I've faced Defier threats. Had *disagreements* with other Demi-gods. And here I am, panicking this bad over my target of affections not leaving a note of explanation.'
Oh, look at that. This next chapter was some character self-analysis. Does that count as more author psychoanalyses that I mentioned last A-T? I'm counting it.
We see El being a total fake as she stalker-like finds her Qat. As well as her 'must tell everything immediately' problem. Or is it a good thing?
Then there is the past story and we have that little hint that Qatrand is honestly intrigued by... 'adventure stories', enough to settle down her not yet well talked out jealousy.
We'll see that flare and touched on for a while to come - it's hard to deal with something you *kind of feel* but bury down each time thinking you are being silly... and Qat is a 'Dense-simp' FL.
