As good as it was to see Sapphire and Edlin again, all these large gatherings in short succession were beginning to fray Firekeeper's nerves somewhat. So she'd escaped to a quiet corner of the park to be alone with her thoughts- truly alone, as it turned out, since the massive quantities of food this morning had made Blind Seer hungry, and so off

"So, Firekeeper," the Meddler commented as he stepped out from behind a tree. "This is the first time since I helped you cross the Nexus Islands that I have been able to speak with you alone. I have come for my favor."

Firekeeper started, reaching for her Fang, although she was not at all certain the blade could touch whatever the Meddler was. She'd done her best to keep the bargain she'd made with the Meddler from her mind in the moonspan or so since she'd returned to Fandom, but it had always been there, lurking beneath the surface. In a sense, she was glad he'd brought the matter up. To live any more moonspans, or possibly even years, waiting for this "favor" to be called in would be unbearable.

In the language of the wolves, she said what she was thinking: "Good. This is a relief. What do you want?"

"I want you to kiss me."

"...What?" Whatever she'd been expecting, it hadn't been that.
