Clovis laughed, a sound like silver bells, and suddenly her body burst into a kaleidoscope of neon colors. Her wings began to vibrate so fast they created a literal, shimmering rainbow in the mist above the lagoon. We all cheered, the magic of it momentarily lifting the heavy mood. The game officially kicked off, and as the fairy rum we'd smuggled down started to kick in, the questions got bolder.
I noticed Gage looking at Clovis with an expression that wasn't just admiration—it was longing. It was deep, painful, and obvious. I decided to poke the bear. Or the horse-man, anyway.
