Allow me to present myself, milady. I am Simon of Ravenswood, brother to the ogre, and your most fervent protector for this journey. (Simon)
Wonderful. And pray tell who will protect her from your drooling? Should I have my squire fetch rags now, or should I wait until she starts to drown? (Draven)
I never thought I’d see the day you retreated from anything, least of all a mere slip of a woman. (Simon)
And never did I think I would find a woman I wanted so badly. Beauty, you’re a treacherous lure with a deadly hook, and this fish has no choice except to flee before it gets caught. (Draven)
(Emily frowned, then turned about in her saddle to scan the inner bailey.)
Milady? What do you seek? (Simon)
A marker announcing this as the gate to Hades. (Emily)
I should be mortified, I know. But Alys is a good friend to me, and though she has her faults, she has a good and generous heart.(Emily)
And is that all that matters to you? (Draven)
Aye. People will always make mistakes, but in the end ‘tis their heart that matters most. (Emily)
If it makes you feel better though, she is well worth it. (Draven)
I hope you can still say that when they’re scooping your entrails out and you’re still alive to feel it. (Simon)
Do you know what a friend is, milord? (Emily)
An enemy in disguise. (Draven)
I didn’t think you’d allow me to attend. (Emily)
I’m a beast, Emily, not a bastard. (Draven)
I’ve had worse. (Draven)
Such as? (Simon)
The day my heart was ripped out of me. I assure you the king’s executioner could never equal the pain I felt the day I saw our mother die. (Draven)
But my father’s is closest. (Emily)
A wounded hawk doesn’t bed down in a fox’s den. (Draven)
Nay! Can it be Braden’s made it a whole hour without a woman? Quick, Lochlan, send for a healer afore he collapses from the stress of celibacy. (Ewan)
Now, that’s no joking matter. It’s not good for a man to go too long without a woman. His juices back up and before you know it, he turns into a soured, ill-tempered beastie…So that’s what happened to you! Come. We’d best find you a woman quickly before you get any worse. (Braden)
