Dex smiled.“So, that is my sister-cousin.Not just for the mythical south anymore.”
Tosh chuckled and then said, “But you are feeling all right?”
“Yes.”
Dr.Aquilar came in with paperwork and wound care instructions.“Where did your sibling go?”
“She had to get to work.Big meeting.”
Tosh smiled.“She has somewhere where folks can watch her until she is completely healed.”
“Good.No baths, showering only.She should have someone on standby to make sure she is strong enough.She needs to check in with her regular physician in a week to have the stitches checked.They are dissolvable and will last two weeks.”
She nodded.“Good to know.”
They went through what she could and couldn’t do, including hot tubs and sexual activity.
Dr.Aquilar smiled.“For a few weeks.It will let the courtship progress.I am glad you have a contained pack, Dex.Makes the holidays easier.Will your sister come?”
“Um, yes.I suppose.If she is invited.”
Dr.Aquilar grinned.“Excellent.My wife is eager to have some ladies in the family.”
Dex suddenly realized she was falling toward a family.She smiled weakly.“Great.Can’t wait.”
She looked at Tosh and Etienne.They were both grinning at her discomfort.She looked at them, breathed deep, and felt the wounds.She would get through this.How bad could the new palace be?

The lights dimmed, and the videos began to play.Wizard made notes for improvement in the editing.
Antonio asked, “Devin, this work is spectacular.”
Devin blushed and nodded.“Thank you.”
