Mink's day at the mall

"She'll be fine. Just the pregnancy taking its toll, nothing more. I wonder though, how'd you end up with her?"

"Was a friendly cup of coffee, between employee and owner. She ended up confessing to me and I just couldn't reject her." Pyrus smiled recalling the story.

"She worked for you, I take?"

"I own a sucessful pizzaria, before I took the title of king I had money. She was worried about it being weird so I offered to let her own the place and me retire. She scokded me badly over that."

"Well, make sure to put her on place 1. She easily puts herself as dependant, so you might want to take a bit control. Still, be careful. Break her heart, I'll break you."

"Any other warlock would of turned you into toad for threatening them. I will do what I can to make her happy, she is the reason I am alive still." Pyrus chuckled a bit.

"Any other warlock had never gotten as far with her as you have. They would have been toast the moment they laid eyes on her. You, however, seem to have the best of intentions with her. Which is why I'm respecting you."

"She has tried to turn me into toast a few times, I am a master of fire though. I don't get burned anymore unless I choose to be burned. I respect you for not trying to fight me. Also when you shadow a person it is best to kill you presence better. I could sense you, you need to work on your skills a bit." Pyrus chuckled.

"My dear friend, I wasn't even trying, don't talk to me about skill or anything." He looked up through the window again. "It's been some time that I had to do my best."

"Just saying though I doubt you will encounter anyone as good as me at dectecting again, my grandson is out there and the kid is only three and he is a master at sensing. They say a lion uses 100% power to hunt a mouse.some words of wisdom there."

"Indeed there are. And as the lion uses 100% to hunt, the zebra uses 100% to get away. Yet, this conversation is going the wrong way, there's no use for me to prove my skills, or to brag about them. I simply know how confident I am in them, nothing more needs be said."

"You are interesting, I am getting old when youngsters can talk circles round me. So anything else you wanting to know?" Pyrus yawned.

"I need to know nothing, the business you have with Mink is yours. My only concern is her wellfare, nothing more."

"Good then I guess you will be staying in one of the extra rooms?"

"Probably not. I'll stick around in the sky for some time. If things go as they should, I'll leave again. If not, I'll be back here."

"Ok whatever you want to do, just know you are welcome to stay with us."

"I know that very well. Though one question remains. The child. What would you do when it's there? How will you work that out?"

"The chikd will be fine,I can always take time off and use my illusion as my stand in for king."

"My point is, when the time comes you have to decide, what'll you do?"

"I do not know, I guess I'll know when the time comes. I am not one to get stuck onbwhat to do next. Whatever happens, happens.

"Indeed it does. So, what'll you do about me?"

"Is there anything I need to do about you? I offered you. Place to stay if there is anything you need feel free to ask."

"No, nothing that I am aware of. Just know I'll be there when you require me." He opened the window, letting the cold nightair come inside.

"Ok," pyrus opened the door and laid down next to.mink and wrapped his arms around her. He used a bit of calming magic to help with the fever.

*Mink wakes up later, still running a high fever*
