Iron Winter (Northland 3)
“It should have been possible. They no longer slept together. Henti had the marital bed, and Kassu a heap of blankets and furs by the big hearth in the main room. He particularly didn’t want to wake her this morning, for today was the day he had asked to see Himuili, his commanding officer, in New Hattusa, for advice on the legal aspects of his divorce.
But of course she woke when he did. Maybe it was the soft rattle of his armour as he buckled it on.
She came storming out of the bedroom.... ‘Ha! Off to see the boss, are you? Off to ask him how to fix your marriage?’ He kept silent as he shook out his heavy cloak and pulled it around his shoulders. It was no use being dragged into an argument. She always won arguments. She always had been cleverer than he was, he admitted that – even though, he felt, he had a better sense of what was right, of what was true.
But Henti was not herself this morning. Her hair was tangled, she was wearing a robe she hadn’t changed for too long, her fingernails were still caked with mud from yesterday’s work with the animals.MoreLess
