Vai's mischievous smile matches Sunjata's, and she tosses him a playful salute as if to say she's most definitely on the same page with him when it comes to making sure his house does not catch fire. She tucks a stray curl behind her ear, blue eyes roving over the huge wings that spread from his shoulders, and she hates to say it but it fucking suits him. Then he slants a grin her way and makes a quip about the size of the shift that has her eyebrows raising and a hand dramatically fluttering to her chest.

"Sunjata," she hisses, already clambering to her feet because duh, of course she wants to see a fucking dragon. "That is not the sort of thing you are supposed to speak to me about - you have a husband." She's already ushering him out of his chair at this point, nudging at the wings and tugging at his ear like that will encourage him.

and the sun
will rise
