There came no instinctual reaction from the mercenary, no twitch in scrutinised features, no giveaway glint in those awfully familiar eyes. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. It was as if Evelynn had asked the woman a question about the bloody weather.

Emryc Qosta, she replied swiftly, refusing to let the moment settle.
Perhaps, as she remained in the lap of this Aver Brand, her only physical weapon currently held aloft by a brutish hand Evelynn might have stopped to consider going any further with this inquiry. She hoped that Emryc held a perfectly valid reason for neglecting to mention dangerous and predatory living relatives but the man could barely scrape a sentence longer than five words together, so why would he have brought it up?
Ah, fear was for the masses anyway.
