A Hero's Bargain
“His conversation with Tyree had been short and to the point. Several points, actually.
Point one—if he refused to hand over his weapons, Tyree would simply take them. And, point two—the annoying one—was Saba was off-limits.
His host was in for a few disappointments.
He’d managed to convince Tyree that he would, in fact, use his weapons to combat the errol. Eventually. He’d need to regain his full strength and see this creature to gauge what he was up against before taking on the battle. The war...ning about Saba was subtler, and not something he could address openly without tipping his hand. It was clear Tyree knew nothing of the deal she’d struck.
There was a small crash, quickly followed by one sharp word, from out back. Ryder grinned and swallowed the last of his beer. That word must be the Ramalho equivalent of ‘fuck.’ He’d be a gentleman and pretend he’d not heard it.
He eased to his feet, gathering his blanket around him, and slowly straightened his spine. He felt tender, bruised even, but there was no pain.MoreLess
