That was before she got spoiled by tents and sleeping pallets.
"The humans are quite active this morning," Brisa observed. "Do you know why?"
Eva paused in the act of stretching and shot a sideways glance at camp. It bustled with activity. Already, most of the tents were packed away.
"I have an idea," Eva said in a distracted voice.
Brisa's head tilted. "I've never seen humans mating. Thank you for the new experience. It was most enlightening."
Eva choked. Scalding hot embarrassment splashed across her cheeks as she froze in place.
She couldn't believe it. It had happened again. This was exactly like the last time Caden convinced her no one was watching.
Only now it was a mythological who was getting an eye full and not the Trateri.
"You saw," Eva said with a flat expression.
Brisa nodded. "Human procreation is quite interesting compared to ours. It's a lot less dangerous, for one."
Eva made a high-pitched noise as her gaze swung toward Sebastian's, pleading for him to take Brisa somewhere very far away from Eva.
The Kyren's tail swished as he avoided her eyes.
"Traitor," she breathed.
"Also, I'm curious—will there be tiny Callers in the future? How long is human gestation?"
Eva was saved from having to answer as a loud gasp came from a few feet away.
Jason was frozen in place, staring at Brisa with horror. "You!"
Ollie's shoulders shook as he ducked his head, pretending not to see.
Brisa waved. "Ah, the squeaker."
Jason's furious gaze landed on Eva. "Make her go away. Please. I don't care how you do it. She is not allowed near the herd."
Jason's expression was slightly wild, making Eva wonder what exactly Brisa had done to inspire that reaction.
Brisa pouted. "Rude. I thought we were having fun."
A loud sound burst from Jason. "In what way was dropping a mouse on my head supposed to be fun."
"I thought you'd catch it."
"And the time you tried to ride Jinx and caused a stampede?"
Eva reacted as if she'd just been nipped in the rear. "Excuse me, what?"
"I did tell you the Tenrin was causing Jason trouble," Ollie said apologetically.
"You didn't say anything about a stampede."
Eva could feel a headache coming on.
Brisa's expression was defensive as she fluttered her wings. "I wanted to see why humans liked riding horses so much."
"You weren't riding Jinx. You were standing on her back, shouting 'forward, human slave,'" Jason yelled. "It took me hours to get the mare to calm down."
