Her life has taken a unexpected turn for the better and it is all thanks to having had that very enjoyable night with you. A bond formed that night with you, and it has only deepened and grown stronger ever since. Yesterday was so wonderful walking around the neighborhood with you, holding your hand she walked proudly at your side, you had even made her laugh a few times with your sense of humor. The memory of stopping and admiring those flowers has been etched into her memory and everything is more beautiful with you

Jabali stepped closer to her when he saw the look she gave him. He stepped within a hand's breadth and leaned down close, his voice iron as he spoke.

Do not think to use my emotions to your advantage, Paesyn. It was said with control and calmness, but you would know he was serious. He loved her and remembered the winsome days of old, but he would not let that influence his decision. He could have her stripped and publically flogged. He could enslave her and sell her to the Black Slavers. He could even kill her if he chose.

But he did not choose death. He looked at her steadily. You wish to speak in your defense? He took a large step back and looked at her.

Had she hoped for understanding? Had she hoped he would know she could not control the men's choices, but the hope was indeed wishful thinking, and the woman who stood before her cousin, yes, but the most powerful man in Schendi answered not the man but the Ubar.

Yes, Ubar, I do, though not entirely.

There was a tension shared between them; her gaze met his; seeing the flint hardness, she would draw in a breath, striving to relax the knot coiling tighter and tighter as the jungle boa to the tree urt.

Yesterday, Marcus had planned to visit the bank to find a home for him and Sara. However, he was disappointed to find out that the bank was closed. At first, Marcus was frustrated about the inconvenience, but he soon realized that this unexpected turn of events gave him and Sara the chance to do something enjoyable together. They decided to take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, holding hands and enjoying the warm weather. As they walked, they noticed some beautiful flowers blooming nearby. They stopped to admire the flowers, feeling grateful for the unexpected opportunity to enjoy each other's company and the beauty of nature.

Figures everyone needs dental work so I am in there like swimwear..lol

He'd heard the sound of footsteps approaching and took his eyes from the view of the city and watched as you approached. He gave a curt nod to the Askari. It was not cold but grateful and the mand returned it briefly and walked off. Jabali looked you over, head to toe. You seemed to have all your parts and pieces. He grunted.

I did and I shouldn't have had to.

You return empty handed, Cousin. You understand how this looks?

He knew that you did. Those men whose honor you tried to save looked even less honorable and you looked a fool. Jabali was not happy that his cousin, especially the one that everyone knew he favored, looked the fool.

And now I must bring down the punishment.

Throne Room
The woman had spent time in the gardens, restorative time, in slow strolls along the stone walls separating the high cliff plunge from the lush palace gardens. With the tang of salt and the sweet fragrances of blooms, it was a tranquil place to collect her thoughts and sort through her feelings after making the trip to the caverns only to discover REDWOLF and Budo Wolf had left with no message for her. It confused her, the feelings that seemed to rise in the dead of night when the face of the flame-haired man seemingly followed her. In the glow of the lamps, in the shadows where the light did not reach, even when she closed her eyes.

Her private musings were interrupted by the looming presence of one of Jabali's elite Askari; his words did not come in a request, though they were polite, acknowledging her status as tentative as it may be. She had not avoided her cousin, or maybe he had. It had been a few days since her return. The days spent recovering from the back-to-back travel. She was not the woman who had left Schendi, who could run for passangs and not feel the burn in her muscles and the stiffness that followed.
BR Following the Askari, the gardens faded behind her until with the trail of the simple off shoulder gown whispering over the polished floor she arrived to the room where her cousin waited

The guard stepped aside, as with graceful carriage she made her way forward speaking softly when the distance was but arm lengths apart

Jabali, you asked to see me?

Bye🙋
