Salacia concedes this with a nod and shuts her eyes a little as she ponders any other possible candidates. Nobody would likely agree to one of her citizens taking the position...

"Would Shadow know anyone?" she inquires. "He might be overworked but surely he knows his people well enough to pick someone else to help him."

"I think so," Flash replies, a touch reluctently. "Neither of us have discussed the matter though... I mean... Replacing Tuono..." Flash closes his eyes and shakes a little. "It's hard to even think about," he murmurs, a hint of guilt in his tone.

"You wouldn't be replacing a beloved friend, Flash," she said softly, rubbing his back. "It'd just be employing someone to help you both. I know his death hurts you both, but the curse of all nobility demands that you set your feelings aside in the face of practicality."

"I know," Flash sighes. "I know. I'll talk to Shadow in the morning, I promise." He looks up at Salaica with his trademark heartmelting grin, though the tiredness in his features lessens the effect, and says, "For now though I have some time off and beautiful company to spend it in. I think I'll take advantage of that." Grinning, he kisses his beloved.
