Chapter 1098: Can We Go Dancing
When his grandfather heard that, he mumbled, his eyes teared up, "Archer?"
He nodded at the man's words, causing Robert to stand up, but he rushed over and stopped him. "Don't get up, Gramps. You're ill, and I've come to see you."
Archer approached the bed as the old man spoke, "How? Aren't you dead?"
"Long story short, I was reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters where I have been living until ending up here," he explained while sitting down. "Sorry I haven't come sooner, Micha and Bel told me recently."
Robert wiped his eyes as he spoke, "What the fuck are you talking about, boy? It sounds like you're just waffling nonsense."
Archer laughed before responding, "Well, old man, let me show what I can do now."
Following that, he cast Aurora Healing on Robert but grinned as he expanded it to the whole hospital, causing utter chaos throughout the wards. When the violet glow engulfed the old man, it started to repair his frail body.
Screams, sirens, alarms, and screaming nurses could be heard, causing Archer to chuckle with a smile as he threw his grandfather over his shoulder while contacting Micha using the tattoo, "Are you ladies at the restaurant?"
Archer walked out of the room while the hospital was in chaos; seconds later, the older woman confirmed they were there, causing him to open a portal and step through when the sisters saw Robert on his shoulders.
Isabella looked horrified, but he spoke with a grin, "The old goat still has a foul mouth. I've healed him and will let him rest in the Domain until his body is better."
"Can we come? It's been a while since we've seen him," Micha asked with glowing blue eyes as Isabella nodded.
Archer nodded before opening a portal, and the trio stepped through. They saw Ashoka sitting there, her tail swaying side to side. When the tiger woman saw him, she giggled, asking, "Who have you kidnapped now?"
"My grandfather, I will lock him in one of the rooms until we get back," he answered, causing the two sisters to yelp in panic.
Micha quickly spoke, "Dad is not a bad dog, Arch! He won't be locked in a room."
"Yes, he will, Miche," Archer instantly replied with glowing violet eyes. "He can get abusive, and I don't want Ashoka falling victim to it."
He went to walk off but concluded, "Because even if he's my grandfather if he hurts any of my women, I would kill him."'
Micha and Isabella's faces paled, but Ashoka quickly explained as Archer vanished into the dark treehouse, "One thing you two have to get used to is his protectiveness over every one of us."
The tiger woman rose and moved to the nearby window, her gaze distant as she spoke. "Even though we are strong, he'd still put himself on the line to protect us. We've all seen him get hurt for one of us women-that's who he is now. Growing up with only Ella's love shaped him into someone unlike anyone I've ever known."
They nodded as Isabella replied, "Even if it's other family members?"
Ashoka nodded, "All other males, our husband is a very jealous dragon and would lose his mind if he thought anything. That's why we don't talk to other men and snub them if they try."
Moments later, Archer reappeared in the living room and turned to the brown-skinned beauty. "Ashoka, I'll be back later, and then we can spend some time together."
She smiled warmly, rising to give him a soft kiss. In the next instant, Archer, Micha, and Isabella found themselves beside the car, ready to head out. With a playful grin, the two older women each took an arm, guiding him toward the restaurant where they'd be dining.
'I swear by the end of the night these two will cause problems,' he thought while people around them started looking at them.
This only reaffirmed Archer's thought, which made him laugh. The trio walked for ten minutes until they reached their destination. Isabella dragged them inside while speaking, "This place has the best food in Tampa City; we should drive south and stay in a remote hotel."
When Micha heard this, her eyes widened, but she quickly agreed, "That sounds good; we could stay at that place Maria mentioned."
Archer listened to the two women as they started planning their date night, which amused him. That's when a waiter appeared and looked at the three with wide eyes before speaking, "Welcome to the Capital Grille. Do you have a reservation for this evening?"
Micha pulled out her phone, tapping a few times before showing something to the young man, who then guided them to a table with a stunning view of the shoreline. Archer took in the scene, finding it beautiful.
'Florida is a nice place for views, but nothing can beat being on a mountain that overlooks Draconia,' he thought.
As they settled into their seats, a waiter approached to take their orders. Micha and Isabella began selecting their meals while Archer sipped from a glass of wine a server had just
brought.
Following that, Archer leaned back in the chair as more people entered Capital Grille and were being loud. Micha turned to him and sighed, "Why are young people so loud nowadays? It's like they're a loudspeaker when they talk."'
Isabella started giggling, and Archer's smile widened as he replied, "Thanks for that, Miche, but remember-I'm twenty-one."
Micha's eyes widened, an apology already forming. "Oh! I didn't mean-"
But Archer burst into laughter, cutting the older woman off, making her roll her eyes and huff in mock frustration. His chuckle turned into a full grin as she tried to keep a straight face, but the corner of her mouth betrayed her, tugging upward.
Isabella joined in, her laughter filling the space between them, and soon, all three were laughing together. Not long after that, the waiter brought their food and placed it on the table, thanking them for eating there.
As their food arrived, the trio began eating, and Archer savored each bite, enjoying the rich flavors. Between bites, he looked up and asked, "So, what do you both do for work exactly?"
The sisters exchanged a glance before Isabella shrugged, "Honestly? It's nothing exciting- just some dull government work."
Archer chuckled and leaned forward. "Well, if you ever feel like a change, I'd be more than happy to offer you both positions in my government back in Thrylos. Could be a fresh start." The two women blinked in surprise before breaking into smiles. Micha shook her head with a laugh, "You know, with how things are going here, that sounds... amazing."
They kept talking and eating while enjoying each other's company, but Isabella quickly asked them, "Can we go dancing after this, please? It's been years since I've done it."
Archer nodded, catching Micha's beaming smile as she embraced the idea. Once they'd finished their meal, he headed to the counter to pay, giving the woman their table number and handing over the cash with a polite nod.
As they stepped out of the restaurant, Isabella looped her arm through his, and a second later, Micha did the same on his other side, a grin on her pretty face. This caught the attention of a few people, who couldn't help but notice the trio, drawing a few curious glances as they
walked down the street.
After some wandering, the trio finally found a lively spot that offered drinks and dancing. Isabella's eyes lit up, her energy spiking with excitement, while Micha laughed, shaking her
head as they stepped inside.
The short-haired woman quickly guided them to a nearby table. "You two relax," she said with a grin, "I'll grab us some drinks."
They nodded and got comfortable while watching Isabella make her way to the bar. Micha commented in a happy voice, "Thanks for dinner, Arch; it was delicious."
"No worries Miche, I enjoy spending time with you both," Archer replied with a smile.
Following that, Isabella returned five minutes later holding three mugs of beer as she spoke, "Damn place is busy, people are pushing each other just to order a drink."
Archer grabbed the beer and started drinking as the two women did the same thing before Micha declared, "We need to get more of these so I can get in the mood to dance; it's been years since I've done it."
Isabella giggled, "The last time you danced, you were drunk and all over the place at my moving-in party," she said with a smile.
The older woman waved her off with a smile. "I haven't drunk much since the divorce, but hey, no reason to feel sorry for myself anymore."
With that, the three began downing their beers. After a few rounds, Archer slipped away to
grab more drinks. An hour passed, and both women were noticeably tipsy. Their laughter
spilled over as they leaned into him.
"Let's dance, Arch," Isabella said while tugging at his hand.
