"Greetings again, lady," said Falco amiably. "I'm not sure why it would be unthinkable to be with the man you love, but duty is as duty does."

He puffed on his pipe, watching the two ladies over the stem. Saeryn had changed some since getting married, and that was a fact. He'd not known her to be so beleaguered with concerns about propriety in the old days. Hah, back then, he thought, there was no knowing what she might do; of course, that had been back when she'd taken a knock on the head. Maybe being with child had something to do with it. Or maybe being the Lady of an Eorldom did, too. Those glares had been unexpected and off-putting. He supposed he had better get used to the change. She was not going to get unmarried or unpregnant any time soon, though she apparently already had been unLadied, as it were.

"So Lady Wynflaed, where were you before here, and what was it like, if I may ask?"
