"One of the few males who I don't hate, he taught his wife proficiency with a frying pan as her best weapon," she said simply, amused.
Theiorn suddenly needed to sit. he dropped into a chair beside her. "Yaslana..." he whispered. "Mother knight and may the darkness be merciful, you know YASLANA?!" he asked her. The air warmed as tempers faded.
"Yes," she said primly. "I helped his wife clean when when she was with child, though hearth-craft is not my specialty, and he helped me learn some basic self defense. So, Prince, ready to admit that I can protect myself and that your service is unneeded?" she asked, archly.
"If we are talking about the same Lucivar that I know," he shot back, "he teaches women how to defend themselves enough to hold until help comes, and to watch a male's back if he needs it."
Oh the fire in her gold eyes then, the hot anger. "That is a thing said for the pleasure of the women who feel it is not their place to learn," she snapped. Then those blazing gold eyes turned on Theo. "You would never be so foolish as to say that I could not defend myself, would you?" she asked in a dangerous voice that boded ill.
