Title: Priceless Rating: PG Word Count: 203 Pairing: Kaddar/Kalasin Round/Fight: 1A Summary: He was not exactly the type of man that mothers warned about.
As soon as the servants were dismissed, Kalasin let herself sink down upon the bed with a sigh. The wine-red silk throw felt blessedly cool against what bare skin it touched, and if she closed her eyes now sleep would claim her between one heartbeat and the next.
The clinking sounds of Kaddar removing his jewellery broke the silence. She opened one eye in time to glimpse him slipping bangles from his arms. He removed everything but for the ruby button in his nose.
“I should never have married a man who wears more jewellery than I do,” she remarked sleepily, closing her eyes again and stretching for one of the down-filled pillows. A silky corner met her hand, and she tugged the pillow beneath her head. She felt the bed lower beneath Kaddar’s weight.
“That can be easily fixed,” he said, tracing the shell of her ear with a fingertip.
Kalasin opened her eyes again so that she could glare, but he was smiling, and she could never stay annoyed at him for long. She reached for the front of his robe and pulled him down beside her. She felt him kiss her neck. “Go to sleep,” she ordered, nestling against him.

The summary made me giggle a bit, and I loved the sleepy-banter between them. Your tone was spot on!

I love that Kaddar's solution is for Kally to have MORE pretties, not for him to wear less.
