The Archer's Daughter
“He also seriously considered investing in an expertly crafted hooded cloak to muffle the deliberate prattle of the spirited woman riding alongside him.
She chattered on endlessly and with purpose. She spoke of her favorite cuts of meat and of how sweet a tansy cake would taste upon her tongue, if only she had the means of purchasing one. She feigned a long sigh, and went on about how her village had been robbed of its winter shares of coin and of how no one would be able to survive the wint...er to make the peppermint cream she dreamt about at night come the spring.
She laughed at her own silly jokes, poked fun of him and his men, more prudently of the waist size of a certain few. She asked him about personal details, like how much he was paid to hunt down the scum of England and how he felt about taking orders from a child King. Somehow he’d let slip his title of Viscount, and she’d promptly used it as fodder for even more insults. If he’d thought to pack a gag, Cate Archer would be the first one he would use it on, without hesitation.MoreLess
