Sawtooth Spire River of Swedish Fish

the older woman — a packmate but a stranger to praimfaya — does not seem too put off by praimfaya's chuff ...though she watches as the woman's catch is lowered to her feet after the woman offers her a show of submission. praimfaya, harbors mixed feelings about it ...for here, in sagtannet ranks, her status as wanheda has no bearing; and for that she cannot help but be glad. that was the whole point of this, after all. finding out who she is unhindered by duties as commander of her people, even though she will always be their advocate.

the compliment of being beautiful burns at her cheeks ...unsure if she's ever been called such before. thank you, praimfaya murmurs, figuring basic acceptance was the best course of action. i'm praimfaya.
