these things must not be now his focus. lorcan. "alle kvinder?" skorpa repeated, nonplussed, in a tone that questioned who? "jeg spurgte ham om darukaal-kvinden. han sagde, at han ikke ville kæmpe, og at han havde vildledt hende."

maybe it had been farfetched. "måske skulle jeg gå til faust og melde lorcan til hans frontlinje," he offered, bold and grinning, though his eyes remained in a search upon ayovi's face.
