Kavya

I can feel my husband's hackles raise at even the slightest insinuation that India may not be enjoying himself... Only to be as surprised as ever at his self control, waiting just as patiently as I am trying to for India to blush as one might expect and then smile and give the smallest of nods before confirming, "I am very much at ease here, Your Highness, though I do appreciate you taking care to check on me."
Somehow... Hearing that is something that does lift a small burden from my shoulders... One that I am not entirely sure I was aware of even bearing. And I am hoping that for Ronin, India's assurance offers the same odd soothing... Because we need all the soothing we can get.

Implying that Kavya and I would ever be less than honorable makes my entire chest ache with wanting to scream out in frustration, both with the day and the situation itself... the way Prince Emrys cuts his gaze to me before India answers somehow doing nothing other than making me feel uneasy.
It just seems odd and offputting at the moment... and maybe that is because of his question... But it could also be very well that my beast has lost its patience when it comes to anything even insinuating that we would ever lift a negative finger toward either of my spouses.

As awkward as things are, I do not hesitate taking just the slightest step.back and squeezing the hands in mine... Both my husbands terribly tense and uneasy by my side... Both of them responding by stepping closer to me without missing a single moment.
It's almost like an invisible string binds us all together, and when one of us moves, we all move. It takes not a single spoken word, nothing more than a shared glance and possibly a smile or two... But we are connected, no matter what anyone may imply.
My two men are most definitely the two that I have chosen for myself... And it seems that once Prince Emrys is satisfied with that answer, he takes his leave of us with no more than an understanding nod and a thoughtful expression as he takes his leave of us... the hallway seeming just a little bit more empty when he whisks himself away from the hall.
