Hari felt like she had been given a gift. Her mind relaxed, and her soul was warmed by that bright smile.

Zerul blinked. “You are Eon’s sister? The silver hair, sure, but the rest of you...”

“Well, Governor, I don’t need to call the earth to my aid. I was structured differently.” She smiled. “The salmon is amazing tonight. The tenderloin is a little weak, but the porterhouse is on point. Today, they are going lowbrow with a baked potato, beer, and cheddar soup. It is lovely and very warming.”

Vega smiled. “I didn’t bring you here to take the order. Hari wasn’t convinced that Eon had a sibling. She doesn’t give off big sister vibes.”

Asta smiled. “That is because she is the little sister.”

Vega blinked. “I did not know that.”

“No one asks. I am in my mid-thirties, but no one remembers.” She smiled. “Now, what is everyone in the mood for?” She looked to Hari. “Our chef was one of your instructors, so she should be up to your standards.”

Hari grinned. “Excellent. Zerul’s chef is good, but there is just something missing.”

Asta inclined her head. “We will strive to do better.”

Vega sighed happily. “I love coming here.”

Arkus nodded. “She really does. They make her special donuts.”

Vega muttered, “Squealer.”

Asta smiled. “Will you leave the dessert to me?”

Hari nodded. “Sure. I trust you.”

“It’s a side effect of my effect. Very handy in hospitality.” Asta winked.

Hari asked, “What are you, exactly?”

Asta smiled. “If you haven’t figured it out by dessert, I will tell you. Now, who would like what?”

They gave her their order, and she glided away in her gauzy black dress with deep cleavage and her incredibly high heels.

Hari stared as she went, and Zerul asked, “Do I have competition?”

“No, she is just... wow. Eon doesn’t present in a particularly feminine way. This is surprising.”

He laughed. “She is an excellent manifestation of a fertility deity.”

Vega blinked. “Really?”

Hari thought about it but couldn’t pinpoint the type.

“Zerul, do you know what she is?”

“No, but I recognize the burn of her energy. She’s a low fire but very hot. Her body is a steady burn. That’s why she is so comforting to hang around. You feel warm being next to her.”

Hari blinked. “Wait, that’s what I feel around you.”

He chuckled. “I know.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Vega, do you know what she is?”

Vega shook her head. “No. It was none of my business.”

Arkus chuckled. “I confess to curiosity, but Vega refused to be curious.”
