“Come in, come in,” said Botrell.
Owain Gawinn entered the room and eyed the regent warily. He could remember only one other time when he had seen him in such a cheerful mood. That had been when Harl Nye of Vo had died from choking on a fishbone. Nye had owned the third best stable of horses in all of Tormay. Nye’s widow had sold the horses to the regent two weeks after her lord’s death.
“Gawinn, my dear fellow. How are you?”
“Tolerable,” said Owain.
“Good, good. Glad to hear it. And how’s your lovely wife and the children? Er, you do have children, don’t you, Gawinn? I don’t know what we’d do without children. Can’t stand the little rotters myself, but that’s the way life is. A man’s big enough to see beyond his personal likes and dislikes. That’s me.”
The regent smiled and gazed into the mirror. He swiveled around and eyed himself over his shoulder.
“How d’you like this cloak, Gawinn?” he said. “Nice, isn’t it, the way it hangs. Splendid silk, just arrived from Harth. Sent courtesy of the prince as thanks for our hospitality.”
“I don't have an opinion on silk, my lord,” said Owain coldly.
