"Fine. Right. Which would explain why you're half-naked in bed with my sister on top of you?" There wasn't any hostility in Keman's voice, and his eyes were shining with barely contained amusement. Despite what Valyn might think, he was perfectly fine with the two being involved in a sexual relationship. In fact, he kind of welcomed it. At least that would resolve some of the tension between them.

Quickly? The young dragon gave Shana a blank look and pulled down his shirt collar, revealing a perfectly healed left shoulder. "I've already finished," he said, waving his finally functional arm to demonstrate. "It's been...nearly an hour." If not longer.

"I thought he'd be here by now," he admitted. "I can't hear him." And since Shadow wasn't there, that didn't leave them many alternatives. There was no way that Shadow wouldn't come, was there? He would have at least let them know beforehand...

He had to have been taken. Like Fai's friend.
