Margot did not miss Rai's lingering gaze on her legs, but it didn't bother her as much as it should have. She let her dress fall back down to the floor and ran her fingers through her crimson waves. Two weeks. She would have to stay here for another two weeks before she could come home. She...

Margot considered Rai's question before answering. "I suppose keep him alive long enough for me to get his secrets out of him. It could help both the Dreadlords and the Sovereign Order," she said with a sigh, but there was excitement in her expression as well. She loved secrets. "Once I have all...

Margot blinked at Dauner as he slung an arm around Falcner's shoulders. Falcner shot him a dirty look, which Dauner seemed to enjoy very much. In fact, Dauner was enjoying this a little too much, and Margot wasn't. She wasn't going to get to read any secrets from Falcner's blood. Margot took a...

Rai sure loved to hear the sound of his own voice. Margot heaved a heavy sigh, as if this whole situation was just a bother. "He's not wrong," she said to Falcner of Rai. "Would you?" she said, this time to Rai when he said he would arrest Falcner. "My arm is getting tired." It wasn't, but it...

Margot almost yawned as Rai was speaking, his proclamation long-winded and fluffy. I always wanted to say those words. "Really," Margot muttered, not trying to hide how over it she was. She turned her attention back to Falcner. "Good question," Margot said, not loosening her hold on the...

Margot did not turn her head when the knight behind her cleared his throat. Falcner paused mid-word and looked over Margot's shoulder at Rai. He seemed unphased that the man Margot had been kissing was still there. "Sorry to interrupt," Falcner said, making it sound like he wasn't sorry at...

She could see hesitation in his eyes before he leaned back in. He kissed her tenderly, as if she might break into a million pieces if he was too firm with her. Again, Margot was pleasantly surprised. She let him kiss her and kissed him back. She tucked her mission into her back pocket for later...

When he pulled back, she gave him a sheepish grin. "Sorry," she whispered, loosening her grip on him like he' d asked. She was sorely tempted to pull a knife on him but she would have to be patient. Besides, there was something about the gentle way he kissed and held her that was different from...

This was working spectacularly. Rai wasted no time in moving towards her, putting one hand on her cheek and the other on her waist. She let him kiss her, and pretended to kiss him back, slowly sliding her arms around his back. Patience. It would take patience and focus. Patience and focus and...

Margot wondered if maybe she would've been better as a courtesan like she had almost been years ago. She had obviously been blessed with beauty and a sharp mind; she could've dealt in secrets from her patrons. Now, she gave Rai a sweet smile as he tucked her hair behind her ear, his hand...

Margot could tell by the look in his eyes that now she had brought it up, it was definitely going to happen. She could see the eager surprise written blankly across his features and in his body language, even if some of it was an act. He slid a couple coins to the man behind the counter and he...

Margot gave him a conspiratorial smile and finished off her drink. She was no longer sure how many cups she had drank of the nasty stuff, but she felt fine. She was stopping now, anyway. "Lovely," she said. "Does your familiarity with women and alcohol and this tavern in particular get you a...

Margot was tempted to ask just how free birds really were but that was not important right now. "How lovely for you," she replied. She pretended to think a bit, sipping thoughtfully on her drink. "If you were to... get lucky," she started, giving Rai a side glance and flirtatious smirk, "would...

A land far, far away. That certainly narrowed it down. And then he gave a name of the place, one she had never heard of before, but the name unsettled her a bit. What unsettled her even more was that she didn't know why. "Ah," was all she said, her expression bored. She considered just...

She set her mug down, turning back to face the squire. "The Isles of Sheketh," she replied. It wasn't necessarily a lie- while she didn't live there any more, it was her home land and native country. Which reminded her, she really ought to go back sometime. It had been way too long. "And...
