Chapter 968 968 A Day of Rest
Wolfe and Petros watched the shows until the sun was starting to come up over the horizon before retiring to their rooms for the night.
Wolfe had been expecting a good night's sleep, but he found that his room had been redecorated while he was away. It now contained a massive bed that could hold at least six people, being even wider than it was long. That bed alone was enough to tell him that there would be many arguments about bed position every night in the foreseeable future.
However, tonight there was only one spot open, near the middle, between Nimue and Carmine. Carmine was the calm one in the group, and Nimue was definitely not a morning person, though the young Half Dryad was a cuddler, and would attach to you like she had actual vines, and not just magical ones.
Cassie and Ella were at the edges of the bed, with the pair of Succubi between them and the others, so there weren't any major people missing. At least not among the ones who usually shared a bed with Wolfe.
Stephanie was on a pillow on top of the armoire, back in cat form again, but awake and watching him come in.
[Good morning. Are you back to normal again, or is your human form still changed?] Wolfe asked in her thoughts.
[It's still changed. I don't think it's going to reset.] Stephanie replied, unconcerned.
She rarely appeared in human form to begin with, so it didn't bother her that her human appearance had been reset to that of a young blonde girl. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
[Well, just let me know if you want it to, and I will see what I can do about finding a spell to reverse whatever changed.] Wolfe suggested.
Stephanie gave a sneezing laugh before her thoughts replied to Wolfe.
[What do you need me in human form for? You've got all those women already, and a tiny dryad growing from you.]
"If you smelled a bit more like flowers, it would be perfect. But when the witches are in the bed as well, the smells balance out and complete each other." She agreed.
Despite her reluctance to get up, there was no denying that she was awake now, so she reluctantly let go of Wolfe then gestured at herself, requesting him to dress her, instead of going to change out of her pyjamas.
Rail chuckled. "Oh no, you don't. Lazy princess. Go shower and I will braid your hair."
Everyone wandered off to the various shower rooms in the suite, and fifteen minutes later the Succubus had Nimue's hair ready for public viewing, and they were headed over to the dining hall for breakfast.
The guests were on another level, and they had their own dining hall, or they could go to the spire to eat, so it was relatively quiet here, where only the resident Witches from the earlier arrivals lived.
They were almost all awake already, as they hadn't stayed awake until nearly dawn.
Wolfe cast his senses around the town, and found that most of the Nobles were still asleep, other than Thorin, who really was in the forge. He might not have been there all night, but he was there now.
The party was still raging, and now that most of the town had eaten breakfast, they were busy trying to sell off what they had left, as well as what they had traded the Nobles for yesterday. The new variety brought some extra excitement to the final day of the long weekend, which was normally fairly quiet and hung over, with the biggest sellers being the produce stalls and the healers.
"What is the plan for the day?" Nimue asked, settling in on Wolfe's lap with her plate of breakfast.
"Nothing. I plan to do nothing, all day long, just relax, maybe meditate, and just lounge around. I might even read a book."
The ladies laughed. Wolfe rarely read books. If he needed to know something, he would spend hours sorting through the mass of information in the Inheritance Spell instead. There was too much there for anyone to remember it all without intensive research, and that was something that none of them had time to do yet.
