They lay together afterward, utterly spent, the tent quiet except for their gradually slowing breaths. Outside, the first hints of dawn were visible through the tent flap.
"We should tell the others," Arthur said eventually, though he made no move to get up.
"They can wait a little longer," Sylrathi replied, curling against his chest. "I'm not ready to share you just yet."
Arthur chuckled, pulling her closer. "Greedy elf."
"Insatiable human," she countered with a smile.
When they finally emerged from the tent hours later, Urzara was waiting patiently outside. One look at Sylrathi's disheveled appearance and satisfied expression told the orc queen everything she needed to know.
"It worked," Arthur confirmed, reaching for Urzara's hand.
"Clearly," Urzara replied with a knowing smirk. "What now?"
Arthur's grin was wolfish as he looked between the two women. "Now we gather the others. I have a lot of catching up to do."
