She is certainly big enough to take care of herself.

[ Arms. ]

But all the same... No, I've no clue. I'm certain he would be content to dismiss my wifely duties, however, should I wish it.

[kantikoy]

Truth.

[ Arms, definitely.

The sounds around Adrasteia change. She's gone from in the tower, to outside, to now at the ferry awaiting its arrival. ]

Do you think you'd want to?

[indissection]

[ It makes her easy enough to track, so Sidony knows when to be ready to answer the door. ]

End our marriage? I am uncertain. It does offer a certain kind of protection that cannot be found otherwise, but it is hardly a true marriage, nor one of romantic love.

[kantikoy]

It is an arrangement that serves you. A 'true' marriage is not often more than that: an arrangement that serves those involved.

So I wouldn't discount it as such.

[indissection]

You're not entirely incorrect. Either way, he is my best and dearest friend. I would do anything he would ask of me.

[kantikoy]

[ Does it work the same, for Byerly? Would he do anything Sidony asked of him?

Adrasteia imagines not, but. She's also not going to ask. Not right now, anyway. ]

He's lucky to have you.

[indissection]

And I am lucky to have him.

[ Then, in a softer voice - ]

As lucky as I am to have you, also.

[kantikoy]

[ Waiting for the ferry, Adrasteia smiles to herself. The smile can be heard in her tone. ]

I feel very blessed to know you and to be as close as we are. I care a lot about you, Sidony. I hope you know that.

[indissection]

Are you going to be here soon?

[ Her voice is much quieter now, so as not to be overheard, just in case. ]

I would rather like to kiss you. Sooner, rather than later.

[kantikoy]

[ Adrasteia laughs softly. Oh, but she'd like to kiss Sidony also. ]

I can see the ferry now; it won't take me very long to reach you.

[indissection]

Then I'll prepare some blankets and drinks.
