Your silence is already bought and paid for, pet, she thought to herself with no small amount of amusement. The smirk on her face fit well there, accustomed to wearing at she was. If I was worried about my sparrows and finches singing to the wrong ears, why, they would never be given the chance...

Her lip curled in a smile. Of amusement, as it turned out; this man was not capable of delivering the kind of messages she preferred to send when forced to it. That generally took several people, and made the Allirian Watch edgy for several weeks after. "You can do as you wish with the smugglers...

One edge of her lips curled in a smile - or perhaps a smirk - at his name. Probably not his given name, given the man was a clear scoundrel and no one would name their child that if they had any sense. It was already silly enough referring to him as 'master Ryder', given the context and...
