“You heard me, and they heard me.Frigging pointy-eared buttheads.”
The male laughter behind them made Win smile.“I have a few of my own.Yes, the ears are effective.”Win paused.“You don’t have any?”
“No.They are very expensive collectibles.”Vine shrugged.“I have never really had the urge to pursue an alpha.I am usually more interested in getting away from them.The fuckers are persistent.”
“Well, they are certainly focused near omegas.Too bad we are designed for battle and not just for sexy times.”
Vine let out a hoarse laugh.“I do not consider those times sexy.”
Win paused, and Jennika gasped.“Vine...”
“Yes, yes.Talking later.”She flapped her hand.
Win grinned and took more photos, including several focused on Jennika’s belly.
By the time the final chime rang out, the mages had posed in a number of ways, including Sable, Tuvel, Ivy, and Jennika holding Vine in a side reclining pose.Jennika just held her ankles.
Vine chuckled and ignored the look that Kazuya was giving her.She could have fun...if she tried.
They watched as the canvases were slowly moved so that both of them were side by side.The artists looked at each other’s canvas and shook stained hands.
Vine smiled at the deep forest with the wolf and the rabbit and a second wolf looking on, and she knew it was autobiographical.It was gorgeous and well executed, but it didn’t have the energy that Emhara’s did.Her image was full of joy and enthusiasm.Everyone in the image was having fun.
The crowd applauded, and online folks voted, but Amble looked at the image and grinned as his pack mates showed up and got excited about Emhara’s mural.
Vine was pretty sure that the murals were going to end up in Antonio’s company.She had to adjust that assessment when two more packs walked up to look at Emhara’s image.
Now it looked like there was about to be a bidding war.
Vine grinned and packed up the things they had brought to make things comfortable.She gave a jaw-cracking yawn and stretched.She had things to do, and one of those things included napping.
Their gathering said goodbye to the elves that had come to visit, and those who needed some form of elf therapy confirmed the date.
It was time to get sleepy mages home.The elves would wait.
