Blinking at the kiss, he smiled slightly. "You didn't have to kiss me, I'm just looking out for family, like I always have." He pulled her just a tiny bit closer and tapped the portkey with his foot, before they wound up in a city on the large island nation. "At least it's a little bit warmer here," muttered Teja, kissing her cheek in retaliation. "I'm glad you're the right age too, Pelekai. You've saved me from a lot of bullshit. God, I don't even want to know what happened to everyone else we know. If Mordhaus is this bad, just imagine the wolfpack, or worse yet, Robbie's family. Do you know if Torii's still all bitty? I suppose not, she sleeps like a rock. Hm."
He led her to a store that had indeed, just opened for business. It was a store geared towards mountain climbers and other outdoor sports types.
