“Might we not stay here, where Rowenna at least can be with us?”
What was this? Was his own wife afraid of him? Was this because he had almost struck her? Did she think he was likely to strike her if they were alone? He felt shamed. He was sorry it had happened, and was surprised that it had. Why did I almost strike my wife?
He sighed heavily. If they stayed here, he would not say some things he would otherwise. Why did Saeryn want Rowenna near? As an eye witness? An ally?
Saeryn was waiting for an answer. He sighed again.
"Then Falco shall remain with us as well, if he is willing."
