The night was still fresh, and Arad's mind split between many instances. His mind in the half-angel kingdom was still busy with Aella and Mira, while his other two incarnations were in the university and Alina, doing what they do best.
On the large bed of his room, Arad rested on the edge and looked back at the exhausted Merlin. Amber sat beside him as well, staring at her with a deadpan expression.
"You said you were going to help me get the ropes, not steal him for an hour." Amber reached forth with her hand, picked the closest pillow, and swung it down at Merlin's face at full force.
Merlin took the hit without moving an inch. She had gotten carried away. After a short deliberation, Isdis and the rest of the wives decided that Amber could go ahead and spend a night with Arad because she was leaving soon to train with Nar.
