Summary
Apo still hates being a vampire. She's home, she's BEEN home, but she still can barely stomach drinking what she needs. But even though it's early, even though she doesn't feel like she deserves it, Cherri is here for her. She always will be, guiding Apo back to love.

A part of them wanted to curl up here and rot but they had already gotten blood on the carpet.
So what was a few drops more?
"Apo?"
She cringed into the ground. Hearing the creak of the whisper quiet hinges, she sat up.
"G'morning, Cherri. Did I wake you?" she murmured.
Ignoring the etiquette of the time before the rooster crowed, Cherri spoke at full volume. "I heard you fall."
"For you?" Apo joked wryly and without conviction. Studying the carpet, there were no visible bloodstains, but that was surely because of the reddish design.Bookmarked by KinderBug

Summary
“Yes, I’ve served under several distinguished commanders, and each of them has—”
“Maybe,” Cherri cut in, her voice slipping neatly over Katie’s, smooth as silk, “my lady Apokuna could learn a thing or two from you.”Or
Apokuna gets jealous and decides to show why she can serve Cherri better than anybody else.

Summary
It wasn’t that Apo wanted Cherri to stop saying those things about Katie, it was that she wanted Cherri to say those things about her. In all her years working for both the princess, and Soluna, the princess had not once given her a genuine compliment for her service. Genuine, because Cherri could jokingly compliment her, but Apo knew she didn’t ever mean it.
At least not like she did when she talked about Katie.

Summary
On the third day after her father’s burial, Cherri was crowned queen.
There was no time for a proper coronation, and though it was offered that one be held, well-meaning advisors and scribes at the ready, she shook her head, head held high. “This is a time of war. When the enemy no longer attacks our land, it will be a time of celebration, but, for the remainder of this war, I will be in grieving for what they have and are taking from us. There is no space- nor resources- for celebration. Send out missives to inform everyone of these happenings.”
For that moment, when Apo looked at her, there was no longer the princess she’d known at the palace, but instead the queen she’d now been forced to become, holding herself with the same rigidity of steel burned in the hottest of forges.

Summary
"The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?"
Oh.
Cherri isn’t talking about the sun. Or the moon, for that matter.
No, from the look that Cherri is giving her, it seems like she hasn’t been talking about them for awhile.
Or,
The moon is beautiful tonight, isn’t she?
