“You cannot be strong without someone weaker lifting you up.”
My chest constricted as I realized that none of them seemed overly distraught over my being offered as a sacrificial lamb. No one commiserated or expressed concern for my feelings. They only cared about how my change in status would affect them.
“Our respective peoples and the UPO see our union as a beneficial transaction for all parties involved,” I continued. “You are entering into it out of duty to your people. But I am entering it because it will make me whole. You will make me whole.”
“The minute you walked into the Council chamber this morning, you called to me. You are the other half of my soul. The situation with the Yurus and the promises of the UPO play no part in my consenting to this union. With or without this situation, now that I’ve found you, I would have come here to court you,” I said fervently. “Vyrax’s ambitions only rushed the process. But for me, it would have always been you.”
“You look so delicate, and sometimes appear quite timid,” he said pensively. “And yet, a bold, no-nonsense flame burns just beneath the surface. Your body is fragile, but your mind is not.”
“I like you, Luana Torres. If you weren’t Dakas’s soulmate, I might have courted you myself.”
“I’m yours, Luana. We can play doctor-patient whenever you want.”

“But for now, stop trying to tempt me, you seductress. I have distressed villagers to protect and evil to thwart before I can drag you to my lair and have my way with you!” Dakas said teasingly. I laughed. “Apologies, oh valiant hero. Go forth and thwart to your heart’s content.”
“Luana, I have absolutely no problem with your germs. After all, I had my tongue in your mouth barely half an hour ago.”

“So, you did see the goods!” I rolled my eyes again. “No, woman! I helped with his wings, then gave him privacy to finish the rest, you perv!” “Bah, you’re no fun. And then?” “And then nothing. We went to bed, talked, then slept. We woke up, had breakfast together, and here I am!” “Sheesh, talk about boring. You have a hot alien in your bed, to whom you’re legally married, and you didn’t jump his bone? We need to talk about your priorities,”
Tilda is me
As an empath,
Me, an empath, feeling that the two of them might like making out with each other
“Luana Torres, under the eyes of the Ancestors, I pledge my life to you. You are the other half of my soul. As I bind my spirit to yours, and yours to mine, I promise to always strive to bring happiness to your heart, lift your spirits when darkness would engulf them, share the burdens that could weigh down your mind, and feed your soul with all that it needs and desires to grow and fulfill your deepest aspirations.”
“I like you, little human,” he said with a hint of amusement in his voice. “You’ll forgive me if I’m unable to reciprocate the sentiment,” Luana said in a glacial tone.
Big boss bitch energy
It was akin to that ‘oh shit’ feeling you got on a roller-coaster when it reached the very peak of the rail, right before it goes down that insane drop. It was that moment of clarity when you questioned your life choices while readying to scream your lungs out as you enjoyed the heck out of the ride.
