Summary
I did not read the 4th book in the series: In the Realm of the Gods, until much later as an adult when I read Tempests & Slaughter (Numair Chronicles book 1)
A long time shipper of Daine and Numair, I was happy to see they do become romantically involved over the course of the book, but, I started to wonder: what would have happened if they instead slowly developed from student/teacher to equals to lovers with the supporting cast of characters beside them.
I have made one critical change from canon: In Wild Magic, Daine gives her age as 15, which Onua’s magic flags as a lie. In MY version, Daine’s birthday is late March. Saying she's 15 instead of 15 next week is enough of a lie to trigger the eyebright. Numair is later revealed in Tempests and Slaughter to be only 11 years older. So we'll treat her as 15, and him as 26 when they meet, otherwise follow Wild Magic, Wolfspeaker and Emperor Mage as canon.
Emperor Mage takes place in the autumn, and this story starts as they return to Tortall in early winter. I have made Numair's birthday early winter, so he's 29 and Daine will be 18 on her next birthday (late March), and the story will follow them over a year.

Daine and Numair have been on the road for weeks, and Daine is itchy under the skin being so close to him every day. Numair is clueless, as ever. Things are about to change when they have to return to the real world.

It's just another night. It's just another campsite. It's just the rest of their lives.
Just a little scene-let on the verge of something bigger.
Post-RotG where they have not become romantically involved.
