Key looks mildly uncomfortable. She asks Alluvian. “How do you know about my childhood? I thought you couldn’t look backwards?”
She looks over to Anglerond. “Im going to turn the tables on you. It occurred to my late last night. Who is your other oath to? I know your first oath was to the Rangers. But you said you had another. Who is it to?”

Alluvian freezes when she hears the question asked of Anglerond and immediately looks away as if she saw something very interesting. "Nestrim had a bunch of people look into you after the first time you showed up and then again when you announced your Surana blood Alluvian still won't look at the two others sitting there, she seems to be waiting.Alluvian

Anglerond freezes momentarily, his face hardening almost immediately with undirected anger and a flicker of something else. He sits for a few moments thinking, then realizing his queen has asked him a direct question he turns his face towards her, watching, evaluating. He answers her in two words. "My wife."

Key shoots up off the bench and turns around to face the pair. There is shock and anger on her face, but she schools her features to talk with Alluvian.
“I guess that’s fair. Im sure he would have wanted to know what kind of person his brother was going to marry. I’d be interested to know what he found out on the second go around. Im trying to put together a genealogy. He and I will definitely have to talk.”
She turns to face Anglerond. She lets the shock, anger and hurt bleed back into her features. When she speaks she is calm.
“Why wouldn’t you have told me that after I kissed you? Better question, why wouldn’t you have told me that before?”
She lets her head hang for a moment, whispering chastisement to herself. Then she lifts her head looking him straight in the eye and waits for him to answer.

Alluvian looks down and stops breathing, squinting her face as if she wished she wasn’t there.Alluvian

Anglerond appears confused momentarily which turns into anger and hardness as he realizes what Key is insinuating. His words are hard edged. "My wife and family died a long time ago. I owe you nothing about them."

Most of the emotion fades from her face. She narrows her eyes and crosses her arms across her chest.
“You would be right under normal circumstances, like if you had led with that piece of information. But instead the only two words that were the answer to my question were ‘my wife’. I don’t know your history. What would you have thought had I given you a cryptic response like that?” She holds up a hand to stall his response and her expression softens.
“Before you answer that let’s take this whole queen thing out of the equation. Let’s look at it the way I have been. I..” She gestures to herself.
“am a woman who is attracted to a man.” She moves a graceful hand to indicate Anglerond.
“I have been trying to make it clear to said man that I am interested in him. I even kissed him. A clear enough indication of intent.” She kneels down so that they are eye to eye and rests her hands on his knees.
“Even though I have been hurt in the very recent past, I wanted this, I left myself open to it. You are right, you owe me nothing of your past. But I think that I’m not wrong in reacting the way I did given the way in which you answered me.”

Alluvian seems to find the ants in the garden incredibly interesting and worthy of her full attention. She steps away and bends down as if no one else was present in the garden.Alluvian

Anglerond’s face softens. A flurry of emotion that ends in hesitation. "I am sorry about my response. It was overreacting and not right."
He looks down.
”My attraction and feelings for you are there. You are the first woman I have thought of like this in a very very long time. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t celibate, but there is a difference in this attraction.” He flashes a mischievous smile at her.
He looks away, “I wasn’t sure if that kiss was a desperate attempt to save your sister, or if maybe you had changed your mind because of what happened.”

Key takes her hands in his. “I thought I was kissing you good bye. I thought that the lies I would need to tell would put us on the opposite sides of a golf that could never be bridge. Since then things have been emotionally charged in different directions. Today is the first day Ive felt anything like normal.”

Anglerond looks confused and anxious. A quick panic hits him and his arms shoot out as he gently cups Key’s head as he leans in and presses his lips against hers.

Key leans forward into the kiss. Settling herself between his legs to get as close as possible. She lets the kiss linger for a while, then pulls away and her eyes dart toward her sister for a moment.
“Well, Im glad we are on the same page. Im okay with a repeat, but I don’t want to make Alluvian uncomfortable.” She gives him one last quick kiss on the lips then stands up and sits back down between the two. She rests a casual hand on his leg and continues talking.
“Are you okay Alluvian?”

A befuddled Anglerond lets go of Key, more intense emotions warring in his eyes as they settle into a calm state.
He rubs Key’s thigh affectionately as he watched Alluvian.

Alluvian looks up at Key and smiles. “I am fine, I just didny want to see a fight. His eyes have never been that happy before that I have seen.”
She gives Key a wink.

As soon as she knows that her sister is okay she turns to Anglerond.
“Are you okay? Whats going through your head?”
