❛ I am very good at keeping secrets for my good friends. ❜

“An admirable quality, Lady Neina. Very admirable. I would say I am much the same, but I am quite good at keeping any secret, friend or foe’s.” His head dipped slightly. The plastered smile on his face widening slightly as he came up. “You’d do well to remain a confidante. Secrets are more valuable than gold.”

He smirked that infamous, biting smirk that lit a spark in his eyes. It tugged at the corner of his mouth. As green eyes slipped over the face of the woman in front of him, and studied every line, every curve. Like him, knowledgeable. Cunning. A penchant for hooks in different threads of life. And a curiosity that was uneasily quenched, like the stomach of a man, lost at sea. 

“Seeing is different to understanding, but I understand what you mean, my lady. It is a curse of those who were brought up as we were to see and to archive. To forever keep a list of known things in our heads. And it is the snakes in us that see us make use of those things.”

A chuckle, a cock of his head, eyes that flashed quickly across a frame and back to her face. “I reckon with the gossip in our heads we could set fire to all of the Seven Kingdoms.”
