The Scarecrow (Master of Malice book 1)
“Even Sofira seemed willing to abandon her hostility and proved a pleasant, if quiet, hostess. She made conversation with both General Blaine and Robin, although she studiously avoided Elias’s attempts to engage her attention. He was relieved the meal went as smoothly as it had. He’d anticipated long, frosty silences and awkward moments. Yet they had all managed to put aside their differences while doing justice to the truly delicious meal.
Elias complimented Lerric on his kitchen and allowed hi...mself to be led into the comfortable, smaller room that served Lerric as both audience chamber and private living space. He was drawn over to the fire, where he and Blaine accepted their host’s offer of fellan laced with brandy.
Robin accepted the fellan but refused the liquor. He also politely refused Lerric’s invitation to join their discussions, saying he needed to check on his men. Blaine gave him permission to withdraw, and Elias inclined his head in approval. His stated reasons for visiting Lerric were spurious, as Robin knew, but even had they been real they wouldn’t have concerned a major in Elias’s forces.MoreLess
