"A husband," he said. He tried for bald innocence, but it was clear he was up to something even in the pregnant pause before he laughed, "But not for me. For a daughter of Andes, who is ready now to wed."

"And what of you, daughter of Sunman?" he asked her, grinning widely to be the focus of her attention, fleeting though it may be. He had learned to let flirtation be its own reward. "Have you come looking for something?"
