Ah, So That Was Why He Was Here, Kate Couldn't Fault Him. He Wasn't The First Suitor To Try To Get To

Ah, so that was why he was here, Kate couldn't fault him. He wasn't the first suitor to try to get to Edwina through Kate.

"She is well. Have you been introduced?" Unless Mary or Lady Danbury had made the introductions quickly while Kate momentarily distracted, she knew they had not.

"Quite well I should think, though I will admit whirlwind is a very apt description for the season." Kate said, trying to keep her eyes on the man before her and not on her sister across the room just over his shoulder.

"How are you finding the season, My Lord?"

Callan rolled his eyes back at Lyra.

"Okay, well, I hate that." Callan said when his cousin said she was familiar with the Hewn City.

But not the point.

"Seriously though, be careful. Don't trust anyone or anything in the Hewn City and keep yourself out of trouble. When you get home we'll go to Rita's for a drink."

@flashbacksech0es sent ❛  be careful.  ❜ (for Lyra from Callan)

Lyra looked at her cousin, barely able to refrain from rolling her eyes. He was as bad as Nyx. Occasionally, worse. Because Nyx could be distracted. All it took was her inviting Sienna to Velaris and suddenly her brother was making googly eyes at the redhead. Callan, she had found, was not so easily distracted.

Maybe if she told him what Ava was up to? Callan's own sister a frequent visitor to the war camps. Or she could imply Cassie was in some sort of distress... The seer being the youngest of the cousins and therefor the most overly protected.

Anything to get his attention off her and her destination.

"You act like this is my first visit to Hewn City... Callan, I'm fine. Really. I'm more familiar with the place than you would think."

Did she?

Siena wasn't sure, she’d been called a whore often enough.

For a lot of her life, her beauty and her voice were her only worth, but John seemingly saw worth beyond that when he looked at her.

"You're so good to me, better than I deserve, most likely."

Smiling, Siena let him hold her. He really was so good to her.

"I love you." She hadn't said that to someone since she was a child, but she was saying it now. She was opening herself up to heartbreak, but he needed to know.

"I don't know what I've done to deserve you."

Calvin smirked. He couldn't help himself.

"Me or the horse?" He teased, Doc seemed captivated by Valerie. Less interested in getting another treat, which was out of character for him, and just focused on her.

"The way he's watching you, he loves people, but he's really focused on you. I'm going to grab something. Do you think you can stay here and keep Doc company?"

"You ever ridden a horse before?"
