Redtail Rise bridal ballad

he'd found the bear?

his shame is palpable, and she draws away, shaking her head. not in disapproval, but in sympathy. woulda killedh you, Avicus says baldly. she'd barely survived; only with assistance from the strange folk had she made a recovery—and Ashlar is not half the warrior she is.

i wanted to kill it.

she wishes he would have, could have. then again, the action would have run completely counter to the man she knew him to be.

neither had died, and both were home. that's enough.

and speaking of home. . . i dunno how muhh' you've heard abouh' Lilia, she goes on, shifting her weight with a deep, troubled sigh.
