The flowery kalak felt giddy – he did it. He slept with Echo, the alphess. Crowe thought she wouldn’t stoop to his level, but she did. The pride swelled in his chest as he finished with her and laid down, noticing her lay down as well. ”You did, thank you Narcissus.” This inflated his ego more, glad to know he was able to help her out that regard. Her next words surprised him. ”Do you care if I spend the night?” His olive green eyes widened for a moment, looking at Echo, but relaxed shortly after. Did she come to the same realization as he? ”You are welcome to stay any time.” He responded, keeping the flirtatious tone himself, a flirty, toothy grin . Narcissus allowed himself to curl around Echo, gently placing his head on her shoulder. As much as he wanted to dwell on the fact that this was great for him in more aspects than just the pleasure, he felt a pain in his chest, having a hard time empathizing with what his Queen was going through emotionally right now. Narcissus had not found his soulmate yet, if the guides had even assigned him one, but he knew Echo and Crowe were soulmates. The kalak wondered if Crowe felt pain of infidelity over that supposed line that existed between the two of them, and if the opposite would occur should the king engage with Margaery.

He let out a deep exhale, his head raising from the air filling his lungs and falling with the release on Echo’s shoulder. ”I’m here for you, Queen Echo. For whatever you may need.” He spoke softly before gently lifting his cranium and nuzzling into her neck. He was going to take in as much of this moment, as much of her as he could. Who knew when he was going to have a chance with her again? He pulled his head away as a yawn escaped his maw, his dark ears folding back and olive eyes closing as it did. Narcissus followed this with a small laugh and then remarked, ”I don’t want to sleep, especially here with my dream at my side.” He smiled, looking to meet Echo’s bright green eyes just before he nuzzled back into her neck, with a bit more energy this time, hoping to make her at least feel a bit better, perhaps even make her laugh.
