What do you have to say for yourself?
Renhett wasn't sure how to feel about Valentine's upset expression. It had struck her as odd at first, considering who she was she didn't think that the relationship between imperium and sonticus effected hers between her family. Of course she'd gladly attack her own if it meant it came down to it, but all that had happened was a small babysitting thing. As he asked, she wouldn't jump around the bush either. Many didn't believe in her profession, but he was a good read as any wolf. "Ahhh Sonticus' smell, I babysat one of Arian's kids for a couple of hours when I went to visit my uncle in Abaven. I should have asked you first but it was last minute. Arian is my cousin so I figured a favor wouldn't do any harm. My main goal was to visit Allen though nothing to do with Sonticus." She shrugged her shoulders a bit. "I apologize if this upset you, I don't have to talk with them anymore if you wish." That was the truth.
It wasn't only as a healer did she think she dodged a lot of things, but as a family member indeed. From the way Arian sounded, from what Renhett took she didn't harbor any bad feelings towards Imperium. The woman was just figuring herself out, she had stepped into a lions den and now was trying to feed her meat off to her kids so that they could eventually protect her. It was an idiotic thing but Sonticus was not even worth being a threat even if she had heard about what Valentine and Cascade did in the lands. Renehtt showed no fear, but she was genuinely sorry that she had upset the king somehow. Probably because she wanted to know more about him. Perhaps this was how to get his attention, but it would have been a stupid way to go around it. |
