Ahhh, [ Verim nods with understanding though only a little remorse. ] Then I will give my apologies, Lady. Among Blood males being notified of some things is... expected. Had I chosen to not fuss, or if your boyfriend thought that I was trying to hide my involvement in something he felt might have harmed you, that is reason enough to kill.

But I suppose that I do not need to tell you how strange we find some of your customs. I, for example, wouldn't have let Fayura out of my sight for a week at least under similar circumstances. [ A bit of an exaggeration, but only a little. ] So, does that make it my turn?

I once had a mutt named Gabein. I prefer a splash of orange in my coffee. Hmmmm, I don't like strawberries.
