“Brishen raised a hand to touch the older woman’s proud, lined features. “My mother,” he whispered.
“What of your mother, Brishen?”
The voice was familiar. Anhuset, his commander. Brishen frowned. No, not his commander. He was her commander. His cousin and lieutenant. “My mother,” he said. “Love her. Her name is Tarawin.”

Brishen shook his head. “Lovely inside,” he argued with himself. “Laughs easily.”
Anhuset answered the Gauri woman in Common. “He’s confusing his mother Secmis with Talumey’s mother, Tarawin. I don’t know Tarawin, but I do know Secmis. She rarely laughs.”MoreLess
