Highland Master
““Was it necessary to goad him? Aye, e’en threaten him?”
“I didnae threaten him,” Brett said.
“Och, aye, ye did. It was more like a pinch than a blow to the head, true enough, but the threat was still there, and all heard it.”
“Good.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “I wouldnae have liked to have to repeat myself.”
If it had been at all possible, Triona would have grabbed him by those muscle-taut upper arms of his and shaken him until his teeth rattled, but she had to content herself with as... fierce a glare as she could manage. “Ye made him verra angry, especially when ye so kindly told him that ye were staying to aid me and the people of Banuilt. I didnae want him to ken that.”
Brett knew it would have been far better if the man had remained ignorant of that fact for a little while longer, but he did not regret what he had said, either. He did not believe the man would have remained ignorant of his plans to help Triona for much longer anyway. In a place as devoid of strong fighting men as Banuilt, he and his companions would quickly be noticed.MoreLess
