why did you leave?

it was a pertinent question. the more veksar spoke to this woman, the more he realized there was more to her than he'd initially gleaned. she knew his father, his brother was living with him, and she had a former-princess-turned-whore who tagged along with her? admittedly his fascination had been piqued.

it surprised him too to hear that gjalla and blackfell actually seemed to like one another. he'd never pictured blackfell as a romantic. he'd never even pictured a woman tolerating him long-term. yet here he was.

and where was veksar by comparison? nowhere. his ears twitched.

that's a bold assumption, when she smiled at him, veksar felt something inside of him shift; one layer of the endless wall being peeled away. he didn't know how to feel about it. he avoided her eyes. how did you find saatsine? and your husband.
