Chapter 195: *Afterparty*
After their victory, Cassiel’s team spent a while in the presence of House Eros leadership, mostly listening and answering polite questions. A quick shower in the locker room - which was not separated by gender at all - followed, with Rain trying very hard to stare at the wall and think about the wall as Cassie stood very, very naked within arm’s reach. Ozzy was no slouch in the looks department either, and he had some very sexy scars.
When they were cleaned and dressed and finally allowed to leave, each of them was given a bottle of heavenberry spirits and a tabletstone recording of the fight.
Cassie wasted no time drinking her bottle, reliving the battle in vivid detail with Ozzy.
"Did you see that bit where Rain was surfing on his sword?" Cassie asked Ozzy. "Rode it like a champion! I’ve never seen anything like it!"
"Yeah, I saw," Ozzy smiled, "You should use that more often," he winked at Rain.
"Is that called surfing?" Rain asked. "I don’t know what that is..."
"It’s like... You’ve never been air surfing before?" Cassie looked at Rain.
"Never have," Rain said.
As Cassie tried to explain, Rain only got out of it that apparently one stood on a big triangle and used wings only to change directions. The rest was about thermals and air currents and some sort of competition; by that point, Rain was just acknowledging her politely.
