Carlyle could scant hide his curiosity over the strange dragon that Az so affectionately regarded as 'Spinny', but he held his tongue. The creature allowed Az to achieve feats of stealth unheard of to most mortal men, and that boon far outweighed his want for knowledge. "Indeed." He nodded...

The responsible thing for Carlyle to do would be to listen close to the medic's instructions and observations, so that he may be well informed of his darling Faye's condition. After all, it was he who'd wrought the injury unto her. "My husband would love to stay. We will have tea when you have...

If there was ever any doubt that one soul could be the key to another, Faye was all the proof needed to assuage it. Effortlessly she dispelled the fears and doubts that dared attempt cloud his mind. With the touch of her lips, she dispelled what worry had settled in his gut, replaced by only the...

Faye's words of comfort were not lost on Carlyle; She always knew what to say to ease his mind even at its most troubled. He knew too that her dragon would be able to mend her wound far quicker than any practical doctor could, and that she'd be back to normal in no time. Still, the eyes that...

"Ambitious." Carlyle spoke through a spoonful of the soup. He would have been willing to fund Az no matter how high he aimed in his endeavors, but to hear his goals stated aloud re-affirmed to Arevalo that he was right about this one. "I wouldn't have it any other way. If we have the means...

It would very much have behooved the fool to accept his broken face and keep his hands to himself; putting his hands on Faye Valimir, causing her bodily harm was the final mistake the braindead oaf would ever make. Carlyle had figured killing Terrast would be the end of it, that cutting the head...

Carlyle had an inkling that perhaps he and 'Az' had a similar upbringing if the small tidbits of information he provided were anything to go by. He'd been the son of a sickly temple priestess, a thankless position with little in the way of monetary compensation. Without a father figure to look...

Carlyle hadn't wanted Terrast to get involved in this. Alinar had gotten too close, stuck his nose where it had no business, and forced Arevalo's hand. Now Terrast did the same, every bit as stubborn and senseless as his brother. It would be sad if it weren't so infuriating. Faye, bless her...

"Strays?" He repeated, feigning a hurt expression as he drew back from her, sliding his thumbs into the hooks of his belt. "That's not a very nice thing to say about a prospective hire. Especially one as talented as this fellow." Carlyle took a few steps around Faye to rake his eyes over the...

Faye was never in any danger whatsoever. Even as Carlyle watched from above, his presence hidden by a specially crafted window in their bedroom wall, he knew that the intruders should truly be fearful for their lives. His darling was no delicate flower, that would wilt and die at the slightest...

"The Razors?" The name made Arevalo's brow quirk as he looked back to Azad. "The Razors are little more than a bunch of brainless thugs, punching their way to whatever meager sum they can find. Common criminals, and they'll never be anything more." Carlyle had learned well the value of...

"Maybe we don't, Miss Valimir." The one standing in front of the group of vigilantes conceded. "But we both know the same can't be said of your hubby." Terrast raised his hands in a mocking apology, his voice scratchy and strained, as though he'd been screaming for much of the day. "Oh, my...

The offer of his full name had been more a show of good faith than an expectation of the same in return. After all, Carlyle was careful with his work; should this 'Az' character do any digging on his name later, he would find nothing soiled or suspicious about Arevalo, only records of a...

Carlyle had been called a great many things during his lifetime, but he couldn't be called a fool. He knew perfectly well that his new acquaintance had little to no reason to trust him, and that both would be prepared to turn on the other, should the need arise. Arevalo, for his part, was merely...

"To lash out against the fair Valimir maiden will be seen as an atrocity by many..." Carlyle murmurs as Faye's lips dance along his neck, his lips hanging open as she sends such sweet sensations to his mind. "Surely, Terrast would have lost his mind to act aggressive to one so innocent and pure...
