It was so good to feel at home in my own skin again. Naked, I knelt in front of my altar to Kushiel, letting the serenity this place gave me fill me completely.
The letter Christophe had sent me was in the next room, on my pillow. The letter Dominic had sent me I had fed to the flame of the white myrrh candle sitting at Kushiel's feet.
I never knew if it was just wishful hopes, or truth, but as always when my time in this place was done I felt the brush of feathers along my cheek.
Smiling softly, I returned to my room and tried on the dress I had commissioned for the fete. It was much less scandalous than many would expect of me, but I no longer felt the need for such obviousness. I knew the joy of subtle dominance, and had always preferred it.
Returning the dress to my armoire, I called for a bath.
