marrying her off right away before she had the chance to get picky about her future husband.
    Finding a single dragon man closer to her age, or older, was a lot harder since most dragons married young. Even in Terran, where the traditional marriage rituals were no longer in practice, it was difficult. Teo was technically single, but dating a human woman he loved deeply. It would only be a matter of time before he proposed. He was considered an acceptable age for being single still, but if he was to reach twenty-five and still not be wed, then there would be a lot more pressure for him to do so.
    What if I wanted to marry a human too, she wondered. I wonder what they would say. I wonder how that would even work. Her mind went back to Ichi for some reason. His flustering was endearing in a hilarious sort of way. Every time she thought about how shocked he was to find out she was not only single and not engaged, but also a dragon, she laughed a little on the inside. The Aero kept to themselves, but she was positive the news of her birth had reached even their ears.
    She'd never met an Aero bef ore him. He was a lot more good looking than she'd anticipated one of his kind to be. His dark , almond-shaped eyes had held a lot of light in them, and so much depth. Although he'd not been much taller than she, he’d made up for it with his developed muscle. Even in his simple button down and slacks, she could see a lot of definition to his form. What intrigued her the most , was that he had to have been at least a few years older than she. Why wasn't he married? Aero still practiced arranged marriages. She knew he had never been married because he also smelled pure.
    He said my grandfather was his godfather. Why didn't Grandma Tai say so when she asked me to go talk to him? With a sigh, she looked around the room, trying to see where Teo was at with the food.
    â€œMikko, my dear, there you are,” Grandma Tai said. She held onto Mikko's arm with a lot more strength than anyone would have imagined an older woman like her having.
    â€œHello again.” Mikko kissed her cheek. “Already done mingling? I thought you would be out there somewhere, not hiding with me in a corner.”
    She laughed. “I'll go back to mingling in a moment. I wanted to thank you for doing as I asked, and there is something of great importance we must talk about later. Please, don't forget to find me some time before you go back home. This is the kind of thing we must talk about face to face in private, do you understand?”
    â€œYes, of course, Grandma,” Mikko said. “We don't plan on returning to Terran for another few days. Uncle Tyson wanted to make sure you were settled and doing all right before we made the journey home again.”
    When Mikko said home, her grandmother winced a little. Mikko knew she had tried her best to hide it, but it was noticeable all the same. It was no secret that the woman believed she should have been raised in Oceina instead of Terran.
    â€œTomorrow, come and find me, and we can talk over breakfast,” Tai said.
    â€œI would be honored.” Mikko bowed. Curiosity filled her over what could be so pressing that the two would need to talk face to face. The two spoke, frequently, but never before had her grandmother expressed such an urgency to do it. Unsettled, she was grateful to see Teo had rejoined her. He took a moment to give her grandmother another hug. Rather than stay and socialize further, Mikko grabbed him by the forearm so they could leave the ballroom.
    â€œI will see you in the morning, Grandma,” she said. Then she and Teo walked out of the door.
    He laughed quietly. “Had enough partying already?”
    â€œLike you mentioned earlier, I'd like to be on my way out before I get five million marriage proposals,” she said.
    â€œI was just joking. I'm pretty sure most people would consider it bad form to propose at a funeral,” he said. Teo didn't wait to
