Artaax gave her another deadpan look as she rebelled against being called small. He reminded himself that children were essential for the future of Drageda before he could get too far along in his frustration and decide that they were a complete waste of time.

But he did know Blixen, and his sister had well earned the title badass from him, though there was not a chance in hell he would ever tell her that.
