Samani tilted her head, eyelashes batting curiously upon him. She had never come upon a man who was so forward with his words or intentions. Even Rodyn had held his feelings inside until after he had journeyed far and collected many trophies. The pale man before her had done none of these things and yet he still wished to know the delicate measures of her heart.

I am engaged to a tradesman named Rodyn. We are not wed, yet. This was an honest answer.

When he asked if she might show him the places that her heart ventured when she needed peace, Samani could not help but smile.

Come, I will show you one of these places. The girl motioned with her snout for him to follow.
