Summary
Estinien paused. “Is something wrong?” As he spoke, Ka’tahli felt the rumble of his voice at her back, and his breath hot against her ear. She felt his leg, hovering between her own, nearly close enough to touch. She felt his hands, rough and warm, guiding her arms into the correct position. A shiver went down her spine.
She swallowed. “No, nothing’s… nothing’s wrong. I, um… what are you doing?” Her voice sounded strained, even to her own ears.
“I’m adjusting your stance,” he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He lowered his voice, gentle and a tad husky. “Would you like me to stop?”
The night before their negotiations with Hraesvelgr, Ka’tahli doubts her strength, feeling powerless in the face of such a formidable foe. Estinien would remedy that.

Summary
He stepped forward determinedly. His eyes blazed with emotion. “You are my greatest friend, Tahli, and the object of all my desires,” he growled. “And every moment I spend in your presence is a battle, because I want nothing more than to make you mine. But it would not be right, and so I cannot. No matter how much I—” he faltered, raking a shaking hand through his hair. “No matter how much I love you,” he whispered.
Ka’tahli gaped at him. “You love me?” she breathed.
“I do,” he said.
Estinien visits Ka’tahli after rescuing her from the battle at Ghimlyt Dark. A much-needed talk is had, confessions are made, and permission is given.
