"I'd like to meet Lady Tova," Nolani said over her shoulder as she was getting dressed, two days after her return to court.

Andrell paused, nonplussed. "I'm...sorry?"

"She is your favorite, isn't she?" his wife asked, a little muffled by her dress.

He flushed. He and Tova had met shortly after Nolani had gone to her mother's home, about four months before, and it hadn't taken long at all for them to become close. He'd certainly planned to tell Nolani about her--though someone else obviously beat him to it--but an introduction was something he'd never considered. "Yes. I just...didn't expect you to..." Mellir's wife had certainly never wanted anything to do with his mistresses.

"She's an important part of the court," Nolani said, a little confused. "And, more significantly, of your life. If I ever choose another favorite, I'll introduce her to you if she's going to be there for any length of time. Especially if she's at this court, not in Glass."

"All right," Andrell said. "I can arrange that..."

She turned to him. "I mean that," she said, seriously. "She's important to you, and...whatever we aren't, you are my husband, and I do care about your happiness."

He flushed. "Of course." She did, she had proven that time and time again. "I'm sorry, I should have remembered. I'll find out when she can meet you."

"Good," Nolani said, then smirked a little, a spark of humor in her eyes. "Besides. I have to make sure she's good enough for my husband."

Andrell flushed even darker, but he couldn't help laughing along with her.
