He glanced over at her as she giggled. At him? He wasn’t certain. “What’s funny?” Something he’d done? He didn’t think she was the kinda girl to make fun of someone, to be malicious. He could be wrong, but he doubted it. She seemed more like a little brown bird, frail and easy to break. Fragile.
As she shook her head and tussled her hair, curls dancing around her face, he had the urge to tuck it behind her ears. His hand lifted to do so, but he immediately refrained a dropped it back down. He focused on her voice and what she was saying—more questions. “The old man isn’t my father, but not much of anything else; closest to a dad--probably though.” Well, that was wrong, but Bard had a callous way of describing things. He’d let her judge for herself as he told it, he guessed. “He was powerful wizard back in the mid seven-hundreds.” Not 1700s no, 700s. “I do have a brother though.” Two of them, not that his oldest brother was worth mentioning. Scary prat.
He looked over at her, this time not a glance. Green depths, ones that looked more emerald than anything else most of the times, watched her after she’d asked about his story. “Mine? You’re a curious little sparrow, aren’t you?” He smiled good-naturedly. How long had it been since he’d smiled that...? “Or do you just like a good story?”
