Zylvia watched as her husband closed his book and set it to the side, "Yeah, I'll finish it . "
"Good . " She smiled as she examined him . He looked tired, probably had been using up a lot of his manna . Zylvia wasn't quite sure how much he had compared to other sorcerers, and it would be rude to ask . Anyhow, right now he looked tired . It made her want to make him go take a nap . She had to work to control those urges, as she was fairly certain he would refuse .
She heard her best friend's chuckle and looked over . Fayre was smiling, looking pleased at their interaction . She noticed that Hazel had a puzzled expression on her face as she looked at them . She scooted a bit away from her husband, suddenly feeling embarrassed . It was one thing when they were alone but she wasn't like Fayre, being able to be publicly affectionate without getting embarrassed .
Kaldrek smiled as he gently ruffled her hair, "I'm starting to get the impression, Zylv, that you've made it your life goal to fatten me up . " His voice had a teasing quality to it .

"Kaldrek," Fayre shook her head as she sat down to eat . "It wouldn't hurt you to eat a bit more . You're as skinny as a rail . I think you were way past overdue to get married . "
"I'm only twenty-two!" Kaldrek shook his head . "How was I overdue?"
"It has more to do with your tendency to not take basic care of yourself than your actual age . . . " Fayre's voice was dry as she rolled her eyes at the sorcerer .
Kaldrek shook his head, "I'm healthy enough . I can't even remember the last time I got sick . "
"Well, Kaldrek," Zylvia interjected as she gave her husband a sweet smile, "As your friends we don't really want to risk it . " She reached over and patted his cheek gently .
Laughter shook her husband's shoulders, and he grinned, "Fair enough . " He stood up and got Zylvia some food as she had yet to actually get any . She accepted it from him with a huge grin on her face . She rather liked it when her husband acted in a thoughtful manner .
"Wise move, Kaldrek, not pursuing an argument you can't win," Fayre grinned, "That and putting food in front of your wife . "
"Hey!" Zylvia found herself protesting, "Why does everyone seem to make fun of how much I eat?" She poked her food, suddenly not sure she wanted to eat .
"Making fun of you?" Kaldrek shook his head at her, "I think she was trying to tease me, my lady . "
She looked up into her husband's smiling face and quickly looked away . Looking at him like that made her want to kiss him, and she was not ready to do that in front of other people . "If you say so, my lord . "
Fayre still had a happy expression on her face as she watched them . It was obvious she took the way they were interacting as a good sign . Which was funny as they had always teased each other . Though any conclusions the queen came to would probably not be wrong .
As she ate, she fell silent watching the other people around her . Hazel was teasing her knight, which he handled remarkably well .
After they finished eating Fayre asked her if she was coming back with them . Zylvia sighed, "I think I should visit Celia, after all I am the closest thing she has to a child . "
Fayre nodded, "Of course . . . " She watched her best friend leave, taking the others with you .
As she prepared herself mentally her husband gave her a hug, "Try not to argue with her to much . "
