"That's tempting, too." Eann laughed, but he reined it in with a smile. "But I saw how Fenris looked at me that day. He was clearly disappointed in my boldness. I don't want his impression of me to suffer more than it already has. I can only show how much I regret humiliating him. However, I won't ask Sordin not to do what he has done. I'm actually very happy…"
"Really? You think he was angry at you?" Kanaru yawned again and finished folding his share. He trod to the bed and circled to the other side. He lay down as well. "I can only imagine he's pissed off because Sordin gets to have you. He doesn't like that guy. Fenris played along because he's the crown prince."
Puri flinched and rolled to her other side, facing Kanaru. "Crown prince? I thought they were still fighting for the crown. He's crown prince now?"
