Part 51 [Soldagand x Carly Masterlist]
“Ani? Can you translate something for me?” Carly asked Aniketos. The two were perched on a boulder, waiting for Soldagand at their agreed meeting spot.
“Perhaps," Ani said. "What language is it in?”
“I’m not sure," the mage explained with a shrug. "Soldagand won’t tell me what it means, and none of the Sofeans I’ve talked to seem to know either, so I’m thinking it must be some fae thing.”
Ani paused. “Soldagand won’t tell you?”
“Nope.”
“But he knows?” he asked quizzically.
“Mmhm.”
Aniketos was clearly perplexed. “Why is that?”
She shrugged. “Beats me. I’ve asked him a hundred times, but he just won’t.”
“Well, I can certainly give it a try. What is it?”
“The word indis," she said, doing her best to match Soldagand's pronunciation.
Ani raised his eyebrows. “Indis?”
“Mmhm," Carly nodded. "Do you know what it means?”
“Where did you hear this?” Ani asked cautiously.
“Sol calls me that all the time.”
Ani laughed and sighed. “Oh, dear... If Soldagand won’t tell you, perhaps I shouldn’t either.”
Carly's eyes widened. “What? Is... Is it bad?”
He couldn’t stand the look of worry on her face. “No! Of course not, dearest, I—" He took both her hands in his and let out a breath. “You know Soldagand is very fond of you.”
She nodded, squeezing his hands in return.
“And I am sure you know by now that you’re the only person he treats this way.”
Again, she nodded.
“Indis, my dear friend...” Ani paused and sighed to himself again, fully aware he would not be able to take back what he was about to say. “... means wife.”
Carly’s face slowly turned burgundy. “Wife?” she repeated, as if she had somehow misheard him.
He smiled sympathetically. “Or bride.”
She quickly dropped his hands to cover her mouth. “He’s been calling me his wife?” came her muffled squeak.
“Yes, little one. I’m afraid so.” The poor girl’s breathing had become rapid and shallow. She looked ready to faint. He was glad they'd already been sitting down. “Now, now, please, there is no need for all this,” he said quickly in an attempt to calm her. “You’ve known for quite some time that he loves you.”
“But— But— I thought dryads didn’t—“ she stuttered frantically.
“Well, no, dryads do not typically mate for life in the way that humans often do. And as such, there is no system in place for such unions. However, he certainly knows what it means, if that is your question. He has been around humans long enough.”
“I— I don’t understand! Why would he— I—“
Again, he took her hands. “He seems rather determined to keep that to himself, seeing as he’s speaking in a language no human can understand. He hasn’t said it around me, and I am sure Alora would have made a fuss if he’d said it around her. You know she loves to tease him about how fond he is of you.”
”That can’t be right," she insisted. "I— I must have said it wrong.”
“If he calls you this as often as you claim, I doubt that, dear one. I believe it would be safe to assume he intends to keep you at his side for quite some time. Carly, he's put a ring on your finger. Surely this can't come as much of a surprise."
The leaves rustling behind them suddenly caught their attention. They whipped around to find Soldagand approaching. “Sorry to keep ya waitin’!” he called, ducking under a tree limb. “Got caught up in the village.” He looked from Carly’s embarrassed expression to Aniketos’s apologetic grin. “What?” he asked awkwardly. “What’d I miss?”
Ani let out a nervous laugh. “Our friend here had a question for me. She wanted something translated.”
It took a few seconds for the implications of Ani’s words to sink in. Soldagand's cheeks turned brown with blush. “Oh. D-darlin’, I—“ He sighed and sat next to her. "Oh, lord."
“I’m sorry, Soldagand,” Ani said. “She insisted.”
“Soldagand, tell him that’s not what you mean!” she pleaded.
“Sweetheart, I..." Soldagand looked to Aniketos for help, but received none. He had to be honest. "Yes, Carly. I've... I've been callin' you my wife. But just to myself, only to you, I--"
Before he could finish, she went limp.
“Shit!” Soldagand caught her as she toppled over to keep her from hitting the ground. "Sweetheart, I--" He quickly realized she had fainted.
“Soldagand, what were you thinking?” Aniketos scolded with a sigh.
“You’re the one who told her!” he argued.
“She was bound to find out someday! How long did you intend to keep this up?”
Sol groaned and set the girl in his lap. "I've gone and made a mess, haven't I?"
"Would you like me to give you two some privacy?" Ani asked.
"No, if you're gone when she comes to, she'll think I'm gonna propose or somethin'."
"Are you?" Ani teased.
"Watch it," Sol warned with a huff. "And no, I ain't."
"But you're considering it." Aniketos smiled.
"No, I ain't!" Sol's cheeks had darkened. "Hush, now, she's stirrin'."
