    His mouth opened and closed a couple of times. He knew that he had more of a gruff appeal these days. It was slightly more deliberate than he would like to admit. He actually glanced down at himself. The casual twist on the formal outfit did suit him and his broad arms. He decided not to over...

    "No?" went Tal. He had been trying to think about a joke because she had forgotten he was a Vulcarys, but the mention of parties caught him off guard. The thought of Faye and Juny finding some solace together was also deeply distracting. Faye seemed to be studying him to judge his answer. "I...

    "Oh no," went Talorgan. "If she knows I mentioned her at all I think I'd get an earful. Particularly... " Talorgan decided to stop there before he dug a deeper hole. He accepted a refill of wine and he stood up. It felt odd to be sat down talking to her whilst she was starting to work. "So...

    Talorgan laughed too. It was a quiet, deep chuckle. He canted his head to one side as he worked her step behind the workbench. "I should introduce you to Juny from the Kyler family. She's decided she has no use for men either. It's been somewhat frustrating for her family to understand no...

    Just one event? He canted his head to one side, trying to think where she was going with this. "Oh I see," went Talorgan. He smiled up at her. It was quite simple now it was laid out. "Being rude and avoiding the others they will assume we are serious. We don't need to do anything to...

    Talorgan hadn't really thought the idea through at all. He sat forward in his chair and narrowed his eyes as he looked up at her. His parents would easily believe such a rumour, but he didn't know how they could spread such a rumour easily. "I'd rather not go to another event, but I'm...

    He could feel her attention, even if he didn't catch her glance. What had happened had been unexpected and whilst he was comfortable, he wasn't always certain how to act. He didn't want anything to change between them, but that was inevitable. "You can complain about it later," Talorgan...

    Talorgan watched the legs of wine slide down the sides of her glass. She looked perfectly content with her choice after taking a sip. "I think some have good intentions," he replied. "People who want to use their money for something and so sponsor an artist to..." Talkrgan paused. He took...

    He offered the white dragon yet another glance. He hadn't held a conversation where human and dragon both seemed to enjoy that he was on the receiving side of the jokes. Talorgan held up his glass. A little nod of thanks and he took a sip. "Very nice," he said, setting the glass back down...

    "Hmm, you are small," he replied. He suddenly hoped that she wouldn't challenge him to a duel in front of the tribe. That would give his ego a serious bruising. He took her hand, brace his other against the rocks and helped her up. She didn't need to use handholds, instead relying on his...

    Talorgan made himself comfortable as Faye headed to the wine cellar. Her craft was remarkable, he thought to himself. He was glad she had such a pleasant working space. She was a driven woman. She had risked a lot to expand her arts, travelling far into the wilds. "I am not nervous around...

    Talorgan briefly imagined trying to convince Biersys to slink down streets and into a tight space. Even though she was smaller than Cathan and would cling to rocks for shelter, she did not like the city. "I'll watch, but perhaps we should open that wine. Let it breathe," Talorgan replied...

    "And I trust you completely," Tal replied. He gave a something approaching a complete formal bow but he cut it short. He stepped out into the cool night air. He glanced upwards at the stars. He briefly wondered if his father had news of him leaving already. He could imagine that already. You...

    The explorer made a small grumpy harumph. He smiled at her a few moments later and picked up the pace. He deliberately fell quiet afterwards. Each time of the day had its own predators. There was a reason that the humans had bonded woth dragons long ago. Alone in the wilds they were...

    "They know you're a soldier now," Talorgan told Nadya. "Yes, out north," Talorgan said. He stepped up beside Nadya and headed for the communal tents. She was smiling more than he had seen before. Perhaps, he thought to himself, she had been in desperate need of working out some tensions...
