Summary
Gortash had laid with women, men, and all manner of creature — always for mercenary reasons. It was rather refreshing not to pretend that it was anything but utilitarian for once.

"Nobody's daughter," A unreadable look crossed Gortash's face if only for a fraction of a second as he added, "and nobody's son."
"Then who would I…"
It was far too late when she realized.
Orin was right.
