“I look forward to witnessing the day, “Gaia says.

“Now I have been made aware of her position I too will keep her close in my sights.”

“Gratitude.”

“As I previously stated I am glad I have you both here my mother invites you both to a private dinner will you be able to attend?”

“Yes.”

“Yes of course, “Gaia says.

“Excellent, I will see her informed of your acceptance of her invitation now pardon my sudden departure as I must now return to my woman, “she says smiling waving her eyebrows up and down.

“Your woman, “Bette says returning her smile.

“Yes, my woman you do remember what it feels like to lay with one do you not, “she says jesting with her.

“I do not, but I do remember what it feels like to lay with my wife.”

“As do I, “Gaia says.

“Apologies for my unthoughtful jest I was not aware you two were wed.”

“No need but yes we are both taken.”

“As I hope to be one day, “she says smiling, “At dinner I shall introduce you she is a fine woman.”

“I imagine her to be.”

“You must missed them dearly, your wives.”

“Not a second goes by she does not appear in my thoughts, “Bette says.

“Is it hard being away from them this long?”

“It is, “Gaia says, “While it is difficult to be far from their embrace it is ten times harder on them knowing we are away fighting and may not return home.”

“Mine voiced her disdain over my departure, “Bette says smiling remembering how beautiful Tina looked worried over her safety.

“As did mine my last night was spent alone as she saw me removed from our bed.”

“You did not lay with Cybele before departure, “Bette ask in a shocking tone.

“I did not, “she says shaking her head in disappoint.

“The Gods did not show you favor.”

“Not at all.”

“The longest I have been apart from my woman was 14 sunrises it almost drove me mad, “she says looking back at the castle then back at them, “I pray to the Gods to see you both returned safely to their warm embrace.”

“Gratitude, “they respond together.

“Your wife is Cybele and what is the name of yours?”
