Kyera and Raina stopped their footwork and smiled at him . Clovis swept a playful bow and held his hand out for Raina . Before she had a chance to touch his hand, Clovis swept her up, spinning before settling his daughter in his arms . Kyera laughed, the sound of bells and the laughter of the child paired well with it .
"It seems you two are both in a better humor . " Clovis's statement sounded like praise . Kyera smiled .
"We just have not had any female bonding time and now to find out about the baby we needed reassurance we still wanted each other . " Kyera explained as she tickled Raina who laughed and wiggled to escape her fingers .

"AH, I see . So the ladies needed lady time . Don't worry, if you get a little brother I will make sure my pretty girls get their girl time . " Clovis promised as they walked up the stairs to their rooms . Kyera smiled as she led the way up smiling knowingly at Raina . Both girls giggled as they entered the bed room .
"Why don't you and Daddy get ready for bed, I am going to get things settled . " Kyera asked offering a sweet smile to the father and daughter pair . Raina nodded and skipped off to her rooms to change, while her father hesitated . There was something in Kyera's eyes that made him wonder if he should leave her alone .
Kyera walked to him, and his eyes followed her, his chin tilting down to look at her as she stood directly in front of him . She lifted up onto her toes and kissed him lightly . He met the touch and that light kiss became a warm sensual moment of two Hearts meeting . Then she pulled away, half an breath from his lips "Go get ready for bed . " She whispered but he slid both arms around her back, trapping her .
"No, not when I know that your trying to bribe me into leaving . What's wrong love?" He asked, his eyes amused at the guilty blush on her cheeks . The honey trap only worked if he let it, and the gods knew he was struggling against it . In the end concern and love won out .
"I just need to tend to business real quick . I got a letter from a old friend and I want to read it alone . " Kyera replied softly, knowing there was no reason to lie . She didn't want a . Relationship built on falsehood .
"I see . Well, I will go change then . If you need me just call me . " He replied kissing her again, as a offering before he let her go . She smiled as he turned and walked to the door . Kyera watched him go, though it wasn't long it was still a nice view .
With a heavy sigh and a bit of anticipation she took the letter out of her dress . The parchment of the letter was carefully cut and folded in such a way that the words were hidden by the outside sheet of paper . A wax seal, pressed with a two odd teardrop shapes that dug down smearing the wax in a thin layer . She recognized this seal and wondered why it had come .
Kyera let her claws extend from her fingers and slit the seal . The top fold of paper was suddenly free . Inside was a single sheet of paper with careful brush strokes in traditional forest writing . There were odd symbols occasionally and Kyera nodded as she translated them in her head .
'May Three Cats Fine Solace Together' she smiled and then began to read the letter itself, her lips moving a bit as she did .
'Princess, I am am sorry things left off as they did . I will not apologize for what I said, however I never meant for that to be the last thing we said to each other . I had waited to speak to you that night, but you were banished before we could reconcile . You are still my sister, and that will not change . My heart was still wounded by the death of my brother and your mate . I hope you and I can come to an understanding again and move forward . I do not wish us to be strangers and I doubt you would tolerate enemies .
That wasn't the only reason I am writing, Princess . The hunt that Mark's the first trial of the Heir Games is to begin during the next full moon, followed by the royal banquet . I do not trust the lady of this castle to send you the correct date . She is cruel and evil . The Empress Dowager has taken the crown back from her son . The Emperor and his new Empress apparently broke the Old Laws and lost their right to hold the title . I fear the Empress Dowager's life may be limited if there is not a medic here that does not answer to the false Empress . I will do my best to protect her till you return . Forest Guardian Mally Crave . '
