A king with a servant’s heart #PietasFans from Ring of the Dragon 🐲 #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene from Ring of the Dragon, Pietas is on the planet Felidae trying to find a horse. He and the Kin female guide he's hired, nicknamed Dark Hair, have spent the first day in a fruitless search. Hungry, beyond exhausted, they return to their shared room. Dark Hair has taken a bath, and summoned Pietas to scrub her back. He's hidden much about himself, including the fact that he's a king. She refers to him as "nahee" meaning alien, because she can tell the name he's given her is fake.

A servant's heart

Dark Hair's furskin felt like wet velvet under his hands. He didn't stop until he'd massaged every bit of her back and neck. "Rinse?"

She slid down in the water and then sat back up. With one easy movement, she stood.

Pietas braced himself on the tub's edge as he stood, fighting not to wince at the pain in his shoulders. He offered his hand as she stepped out of the tub.

Naked, she stood before him like a queen, as confident and powerful as if she wore robes of state.

He picked up a thick towel, as lush as any aboard his vessel. Clean, white, soft. He dried her and took care to keep his touch from being intimate. When he knelt to dry her clawed feet, she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You look up, nahee."

He met her gaze.

"Who you serve before me?"

"Serve? You mean"-- He motioned with the towel --"like this?"

Dark Hair nodded.

He thought of Cyken. "A king."

"King." She stooped before him, peering into his eyes. "Was king to you. But you are king."

Had he let something slip? He'd taken care not to bring anything that gave his true identity. "Why would you say I'm a king?"

She kissed him, her lips gentle against his, and then pulled back. "I see in everything you do. You not servant." She caressed his face. "You have power. I feel. But you hold inside. You not take power for you. You give this power." She flattened one hand over his chest. "You king with servant heart."

Pride and gratitude brought tears to his eyes, and he turned his head and blinked them away.

What is wrong with the windows 🏘 on this world? #SciFi #PietasFans #MFRWhooks

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene, Pietas and his guide, whom he calls Dark Hair, approach a restaurant in Ruh City, near the starport. The all-powerful king has spent most of the story learning to humble himself, and the lesson has not yet been learned.

 

Dark Hair stopped in front of a building with small windows set high off the ground, and a wide wooden door painted green. "You see mark on door, nahee?"

"This?" He ran his fingers across it. A horizontal line carved into the wood followed by a space and then a dot. Likely the result of damage. "What is it?"

"Is sign for our kind. Gay. Here, no one kick us out. Here, we can eat."

Only a handful of people occupied the restaurant. Two sets of Kin males in the back. A few tables with female couples. Pietas and Dark Hair took a booth at the front and slid into it. Deep, dark, padded with lush leather and surrounded by ebony wood, it offered one step from daytime to night.

Unlike the bar in Old Ruh City, no one paid them attention. Like all other shops, the windows were high up on the wall.

"What's with the windows on this world?"

Dark Hair glanced upward. "Ah fay?"

"All the windows I've seen are too high up for anyone inside to see out."

"Why look out? Windows make light."

"Yes, but you can't see out them."

She laid back one ear and angled the other toward him. Curious. "And make nobody see in, either."

"How do you sell things in a store without windows?"

Both those pointy ears went back. "Silly nahee." With two fingers, she mimicked walking. "You go inside."

Pietas sat back in the booth. "You guys have so much to learn."

She lowered both eyebrows. "You not make sense."

The first Kin business that offered true competition by letting people see what they were getting stood to make a fortune. But that was not why he was here, was it?

He needed a horse. And right now, they both needed food. No wait staff, android or otherwise, in sight.

Pietas made a slight nod toward the back. "Those guys have no female with them. Is that allowed in all restaurants or just this one?"

She pushed back her hood and glanced their direction. "They sahnimay," she said, using Felis for homosexual. "Female sit other table."

A Kin male in a green apron came up to the table and bowed to Dark Hair. He spoke so rapidly in Felis Pietas couldn't understand him. Dark Hair said something back, just as fast. Without speaking to Pietas, he turned and left.

Pietas leaned toward her across the table. "What was that about?"

"I tell him bring food."

He drew back. "Humans ask each other what they want to eat."

"We eat same as bar. Yes? Good food."

The male returned with a pitcher of water and two glasses. He set them down, stole a glance at Pietas and then bowed to Dark Hair before scurrying away.

She motioned to him. "You do water."

"Because I'm male?"

She gave him that same look she'd offered every other time he'd asked that question.

He sighed. "Never mind. I'll pour."

What do you call white puffy things on sticks? #Smores #PietasFans #MFRWhooks

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

I had an intimate interview with Pietas regarding regarding what he likes to eat.Β His answers were revealing, and quite funny.Β Who knew he'd never heard the word S'mores?

What is your favorite meal?

Fish, cooked over an open fire, and vegetables grilled beside it.

If any, what food do you refuse to eat?

I have quite literally starved to death before. There is no food I won't eat.

Tell us about a meal or food that says "home" to you.

Fish cooked around a campfire followed by those sweetish brown crackers. You put a white puffy thing on a stick and hold it over the fire until it starts to melt, and then you put that between the crackers and chocolate. I don't know what you call them, but I call them delicious. They are the perfect end to a campfire meal shared with friends.

When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?

I ask questions, and poke at it a bit, but inevitably, I eat it.

Have you ever eaten military style rations, and if so, what was your favorite?

For more years than I care to count. Anything that comes in a box that heats itself is a winner.

If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?

I am hopeless in the kitchen, but my staff sees that I never go hungry.

Favorite alcoholic beverage?

A flavorful wine, especially one grown in vineyards owned by friends.

Favorite non-alcoholic beverage?

Clean, fresh water.

What do you grab when there's no time for a regular meal?

Whatever holds still long enough for me to put it into my mouth.

Who are your favorite people to share meals with?

The people on the High Council, and other dear friends.

Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.

Kayelle guzzles water, but she also drinks a caffeine free sugar free Coke. And coffee with cream and chocolate. Hot herbal tea in the evening. Sweet tea in the morning. Hmmm. She drinks a lot, but I've only seen her drink alcohol or wine on rare occasions.

What do you feed your pet/s?

Tiklaus is a ginormous panther who rules our home and eats whatever is put within reach. I make sure it's healthy and fresh.

In the comments, tell me about your favorite foods.
