"Leslie, I can see Erich is a lucky man. How is it that the two of you met?" His light eyes burrowed into hers. "Well, we..." She stuttered as her eyes, shooting to the ground. "It was on the set. He is a cinematographer, so we hang out a lot during filming. He actually does not live too far from here.” She looked up again, twiddling her thumbs. "What sort of movie are you in."

It was absolutely insolent of him to say that, but he wasn’t trying to make light of your past as a sex worker, I’m sure if he knew about your past he would feel awful." I said.

"Ah, ah, not so fast we have to bless our food and thank God for this lovely meal." Claudius’s eyes dimmed, as he growled in a low tone and clawed my hand out of impulse.

"Yes. Our neighbors had a large family; they agreed to watch you while I was away." He paused for a moment and then finished brusquely. "The mercenary who wanted to rape her the night she snuck out I disemboweled. Her father's throat I cut."

Ned could feel a grin on his face, and it stirred his muddled mind. How long has it been since I last grinned like this? He grabbed at her with clumsy hands, but she slid away. Leaning back against the seat, her red hair falling over the edge of the seat, down to the floor.
