“Yeah, they’re gone. I don’t suppose there’s any way to keep angels from just dropping in, is there?” Kol tells him.
Caleb steps out of the waterfall and shakes his head. “Nah, they can travel anywhere, it’s part of their nature. And because they’re messengers, they’re exempt from any fey laws of invitation.” He shakes his shoulders, letting a trickle of pearl-sized dewdrops trace their way down his waterproof skin. “They aren’t allowed to convey anything more than messages: courts aren’t supposed to use them to spy or steal stuff. Apparently that didn’t used to always be the case and… that’s kinda why there aren’t many angels left these days. Well, one of the reasons, I guess.”
Kol gives his fiancé a hug and asks, “Would they really brand you, just for taking a bath?”
The sailor shrugs and sighs. “Hard to tell. The courts have a *lot* of power. You both know how many loopholes fey law has: well it’s a double edged sword. It can work for you or against you.” He waves a big, meaty hand and explains, “Even if you don’t get branded, you still have to defend yourself in court, which can take years if they decide to drag it out.”
“Mmm, we’ll have to be careful with these guys then. Thank you for the wonderful bathroom, Caleb. Definitely looking forward to more, er, ‘bath-time’ later.”
The selkie pulls him into a kiss and grabs his ass affectionately. “You betcha. Tell you what, next time we’ll get yer other partners involved while we’re at it? Have a big mousey pile, and get you three all squeaky?”
“Hehe, sounds fun~ but we gotta sort out this prophecy bullshit first.”
Caleb nods and gives him one last smooch. “Go on then~ Give’m litchfire, honey. I’ll hold down the fort here and make sure we don’t have any thieves creeping in while no one’s looking.”
