    Summary

    “It’s supposed to go on your arm,” Cherri explains, watching her closely for her reaction. “Right about here.” Her fingers reach up and gently touch the place she means. Apo’s mind immediately zeroes in on that spot.

    “Yeah, okay,” Apo breathes. The design is perfect. She kind of deeply wants to get it.

    “So you like it?” Cherri asks. If Apo didn’t know her any better, she’d say she sounds almost shy. “You want to get it?”

    Apo weighs the decision for all of a second and a half before nodding. “Yeah. It’s really cool.” She adds, firmly, “I like it.”

    Summary

    “Think about it,” Sausage prompted. “What is the number one reason why you wouldn’t pursue someone?”

    “Uh,” Apo thought about it. “Because it would distract me from my mission of protecting the princess?”

    Gently, the mage patted the back of Apo’s hand, as if soothing someone after a great loss. “I was hoping you would say, ‘because they’re already taken,’ but everybody’s different.”

    “Well, yeah, of course,” Apo scoffed, yanking away. “A person that already has a partner couldn’t even be considered—”

    She went still.

    “No,” she whispered. “No, there’s no way you’re suggesting that.”

    - or -

    Fearful that Cherri might draw the attention of unfit suitors during their stay in Bannerfall, Apo decides to spread some harmless rumors. After all, who would go after a princess that was already in a committed relationship?
