Highland Steel (Guardians of the Stone book 2)
“With her ladies’ help, she planned to refit all of Aveline’s gowns. And since the poor lass no longer had any use for any of her belongings, she took a few for herself, and then gave one each to Mairi, Ailis and Kenna.
As distracted as Kenna seemed, she hardly cracked a smile over her gift, but Ailis and Mairi were beside themselves with joy. Neither had ever had a proper gown, or so they claimed. Neither had Lael, for that matter, but she felt far less deprived than either of her ladies. Forso...oth, but she had no inkling why she cared one whit for any of it at all, even now, but somewhere in some previously unbeknownst part of her brain, it mattered to her that she look and behave the part of a proper mistress.
And just for good measure, she gave them each a bauble or two as it hardly seemed appropriate to be greedy with possessions that didn’t belong to her in the first place, nor did she truly ken the purpose of some of the effects she found in Aveline’s possession. For example, amidst her belongings, Lael found a small, thin copper oddity, with folding arms.MoreLess
