In the morning, Elunara sat up and stretched. Wrathion shifted in his sleep and dragged Jordan closer to him. Elunara shook her head and climbed out of bed. She made her way behind the curtain off to the side and did what she needed to do. Done, she stepped out and found her clothes and began getting dressed. Jordan turned over in the bed and snuggled close under Wrathion's arm.
Elunara put her hands on her hips. "Gods, you two are adorable."
Jordan jolted and shoved against Wrathion. Wrathion was still in his dragon form and too big to move with Jordan's push. All Jordan had managed to do was scoot himself backwards. Wrathion looked down and blinked at Jordan. "Must you always reject me?"
"Sorry, sorry, you startled me. I'm still getting used to you not being my wife."
"I am your husband."
"I know." Jordan raked his fingers through his hair. "That fact is not lost on me."
"You're going to have to get over it eventually, Jordan." Elunara shook her head.
"Hey, you've been fucking Tulani for over twenty-five years. I've been fucking Wrathion for a scant two months."
"I'm well aware. Now, let's go find something to eat. I'm starving, and I need my energy."
Jordan laughed. "With your energy absorption, you'll kill us both before you're through."

Wrathion flew the pair down to his favorite inn. Inside, they found a table. The barmaid from before stared at the trio. The night elf was twirling a lock of Wrathion's hair around her finger. Making her own assumptions, she sauntered over to the table. "What can I get ya?"
"My usual, if you don't mind, Patricia." Wrathion gave one of his winning smiles.
Elunara fiddled with the ringlet. "I'll take a sandwich special."
Patricia turned to the blonde man and smiled slyly. "And you, cutie?" She leaned down with her ass in Wrathion's face and her breasts in Jordan's. "What'll you have?"
"Oh, um. I'm... I'm sorry, I'm married." He held up the hand with the ring.
She jolted straight up and scooted back. "Oh! Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought... I thought she was with..." Patricia jerked a finger back and forth between the night elf and Wrathion.
"Jordan, I should have put a ring on you years ago." Elunara laughed and brushed her lips against his.
"Maybe so, baby."
"I'm glad I thought of it." Wrathion grabbed Jordan and made a meal of him.
Patricia turned bright red and started to look a little green. She turned and fled to the back.
"Oh, dear." Elunara sighed. "Looks like we have a major misunderstanding." She stood up. "I'll go talk to her, or we'll probably be banned from this establishment."
Wrathion stood up. "I've known her longer; shouldn't I be the one?"
Jordan shook his head. "Let Elunara handle it, she's the diplomat."
Elunara left the pair and followed Patricia into the back. She barely dodged the knife thrown at her head.
"Stay away from her!"
Elunara eyed the burly kul tiran wielding another knife. "Sir. I'm not here to hurt or harass your girlfriend."
Some of the fight went out of him for a moment before his face went bright red. "She's not-- You leave Patricia alone!"
Elunara's eyebrow shot up. "She's not? Sister then?"
"We ain't related."
"But you want to be."
"Shut up. Get out of my kitchen!"
She dodged the next knife. "Look, your friend misunderstood the situation, and I've come to make sure she's alright. I don't want to bring her pain, and I understand you want to protect her. Let me help her, okay?"
"I don't trust you."
"That makes you intelligent. Look, by time I'm through maybe it's you she'll look to for comfort instead of hiding behind the ale barrels in the basement crying her eyes out."
"How do you know what she's doing?"
Elunara tugged her ear. "Ears, large ones. I can hear her beneath my feet. My husbands and I only want to have a meal here. Not cause drama." Elunara stepped forward and held out a hand. "Please."
The man slammed his knife on the block beside him. "Fine. You better undo your damage, or I will find you!"
Elunara kept an eye on the man as she made her way down the stairs and into the basement cellar. Just as she predicted, Patricia sat behind one of the massive barrels of ale, face in hands as she cried. Elunara stepped beside her. Laying a hand on Patricia's shoulder, she spoke gently. "Patricia?"
Patricia jerked her shoulder away. "Leave me alone!"
"No." Elunara sat beside the woman. "Listen, I know you're embarrassed, and it's okay. We weren't trying to make fun of you."
"Liar!"
"You misunderstand the situation. Wrathion and I are married. We got married yesterday. Also yesterday, Wrathion married Jordan, who is also my husband. We are a strange little throuple. Well, at the moment."
Patricia stared at her.
"You see, the truth is, I'm married to four men and a woman."
"Now I know you are lying!" Patricia stood up and backed away.
"Oh, it gets weirder than that, but I'm not here to break your brain. I just want you to understand that the three of us are together. We all got married yesterday and merely came here to get some food. Not fuck with the locals. I don't know what kind of relationship you may have thought you had with Wrathion. I know he's a shameless flirt and a bit chaotic. He can make you think you know him. But you don't. Hell, I barely know him, and I recently gave birth to his twins."
"You don't look like you had twins."
"My body rapidly heals itself and I managed to get it back into my original shape these last four months."
"You was last here eight months ago." Patricia slapped a hand across her mouth.
"So, you were keeping track. I figured. When I was here eight months ago, I was two months pregnant. My babies were early, I was barely six months when they exploded out of me."
"What about the little girl? Who is she?"
"That would be my third husband's little girl."
"Why do you blow through them like that?"
Elunara laughed softly. "You misunderstand again. I'm still married to them all."
