Yep, Caspar would have been really screwed by that curse. He looks at Adia again and runs a hand over her hair. The touch makes her look up and smile at him. She tucks the stem of the metal tulip into the lapel of his jacket, then says something to him in their native tongue. He smiles softly and kisses her forehead. He's lucky that she loves him enough for them both.

Congratulations. The tattoos and piercings suit you. How long did it take you to get used to them?
