"Well," he says with a grin, "first there was me, walking down and almost instantly glomped by David, who was rather upset about what he'd done to you. I calmed him down...and we got up to our usual silliness...because it's David and I. And then he started trying to convince me I'm handsome again, which went as well as it ever does."

A smirk.

"Which is about when Alex wandered downstairs, Loki called off David before he attempted to get the both of us in bed, and then Alex told me about his nightmares...which upset me, as you might guess. I...fed him from me, and I from him...and we're bonded now. It's...lovely."

And then the widest smile on his face.

"Which is when I looked up and saw my sister, my real, mortal sister from eight hundred years ago, my little flower, my Fleur...walk into the bar."
