The rooms that had been given to Kaylira for her stay at Fort Hold were close to Xyliah's. After her arrival yesterday, she had meant to show her firelizard egg to her friend, but had decided instead to stay in her chambers in case it hatched. She had asked that her dinner be sent up to her, but Therion invited her to share the evening meal with him, which meant moving the box of sand to the parlor he had prepared for the occasion.
They'd spent a pleasant couple of hours together and he had finally played his violin for her. She had sung for him and then they had performed a duet. When it was time to go, she had kissed him playfully on the cheek, which had made him smile. Maybe there was hope that their marriage would be a happy one.
She wished the same for Xyliah, who would be married on the morrow. Most of today had been spent planning a surprise for her and now that dinner was over and her maidservant had brought what she had asked for, she carefully picked up the egg and placed it in the sling that kept it close to her body for heat. Draping the bag over her other shoulder, she left her room, the maidservant following behind her with the box full of sand.
It was only a short distance to Xyliah's room and when she reached the door, she knocked sharply, hoping that her friend would be there.
