Nero Nights
“I think I stopped appreciating local beauty after the first dozen planets I saw. But just about everywhere, except Isroth, is more beautiful than Starvis.”
I kick off my boots and the cold reminds me to summon Neron, warming everything around me. I unzip my uniform and start slipping out of it so I can wash it and myself.
“Nova,” Valen says, sounding completely scandalized. He turns slightly away from me, trying to angle away, but his eyes keep darting back to me as I pull my uniform off and stand at the water’s edge in just my under things.
“What?” I ask, part truly wondering at his reaction, part smiling because he can’t stop looking at me.
