Summary
“Long night?” she quipped, bitterness lacing her tone as she sharpened a particularly formidable arrow tip.
“What are you asking me, Viviane?”
Rare of him to use her name.
Kal leveled her a stare, which always had a way of undoing her. Those piercing blue eyes, sharper than honed sapphires, saw it all. The invisible essence beneath her skin.
Viviane was never any good at backing down from that stare. Or a fight.
“I’m asking you if it's exhausting having half the females in Prythian line up outside of your door each night.”“Careful, little wren,” Kal murmured with a cool grin, “I might start getting the wrong idea.”
A long pause as her honest eyes sought his. “Maybe you should.”
Kal’s scent spiked subtly as he registered her meaning, though his face remained unreadable. “Those are very brave words, Viviane.”
She stood.
“There is an inscription carved into the summit of the Northern Rift, do you know what it says?” She peered over the lake in search of game.
Kal shook his head, ivory strands falling across his dark brow.
Viviane carefully drew an arrow from over her shoulder.
“Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the valiant only die once.”
