“What is your job?”
“I own computer servers, Fen.Lots of them.”She smiled.“Companies rent space on them, and I charge them rent.It’s an international phenomenon.All I have to do is keep the data safe, and I definitely do that.Not everyone considers giving head without bending forward a job skill.”
The spluttering of laughter and coughing from those who had inhaled their food filled the room.
Fen grinned.“I knew you were in there somewhere.”
“Thanks.You just had to keep poking, and now they think I am rude.”She finished her meal and set her utensils down.
Hatcher grinned.“We know you are rude.It’s part of your charm.I would call it observationally blunt.”
Arwell chuckled.“That sounds like me.”
Rhea smiled.“I think Lady Fen doesn’t have an issue with the comment.”
Lady Fen chuckled.“Of course not.I have a lot of alphas, and I am a busy woman.Sometimes it is just blow and go.”
Arwell had been sipping her tea, and she spluttered and looked at the older woman with the devilish gleam in her eyes.She was having fun.
“I always knew evil was short.”
Fen grinned.“You are a lot more fun when we aren’t bidding on the same artifacts.”
“You are more fun with food.”
“I will carry a bao bun every time we are due to interact.”Fen grinned.“It seems sensible.”
“Don’t flirt.”She sipped at her tea.
Fen laughed bright and long.
Ryo was staring from her to Lady Fen.“Do you want to get a room?”
Fen grinned.“We have one.You are all eavesdropping.”
Arwell smiled.“This is a different side of you, Fen.”
“The top of my head?I had no idea you were one of the shining ones.”
“That is the idea.”
“Why are you differently coloured?”
“It goes with the different ears.See the jagged bits?That means I am not just able to use aspects of magic.With some focus, I can use it all.Same with about eight others in the city.Hatcher and her sister are two of them.Then there is Rhea.And myself.And five others.”
Lady Fen frowned.“Why haven’t they come out?”
“They are needed where they are.They will know when it is time.Or they will get outed in spectacular fashion.Either way, they are quiet now.”Arwell knew of one that would be exposed soon, in spectacular fashion.Dorn had already gotten the tickets to the gamer convention on the coming weekend.
Arwell looked at Ryo.“Do you play video games?”
He grinned.“No.Why?”
“Oh, Dorn and I are going with some friends of his to the gamer con this weekend.”
“Would you like an escort?”
“Did you buy a pass?”
