There was a glint of amusement in his eyes as Savas listened to the easy banter between the pair of Fae standing before him. The awkwardness of the unexpected reunion had just about faded, replaced with a fond irony that his one time summer fling was now the wife of his former student. The world was such a terribly small place sometimes. Still, he could not stop the warm smile that tugged at his lips: Aidan and Saoirse already seemed attached at the hip even by newlywed standards. Good. Both of them deserved all of the happiness they could claim for themselves. He only hoped that their closeness did not cool once the honeymoon period was over.
Saoirse had just announced that she and Aidan should let him get back to work when he heard someone call out his human name. A small frown of confusion flitted across his face as he turned towards the voice. Approaching him was a woman he had certainly never seen before, for all that she seemed to know him. Then her shield dropped, and a painful sort of familiarity shot through him like a lance, thoroughly erasing his good mood. Biding a quick goodbye to the two Fae he met Victoria's gaze with a cold glare.
"I'm sorry, but have we met?" he asked, his voice still professionally light and welcoming in contrast with the unfriendly look he was giving her.
