Trinket didn't so much as flinch at the touch against her neck, though she did arch an eyebrow at the feeling of being held in place. Curious.
She didn't try to fight the immobilizing force. She merely considered the sensation of it. It was something new. Different.
Different was always interesting.
At Sah's words, Trinket replied, "Killing is a game. My friend taught me that. I won the game last time. You won this time. Are you going to kill me now?"
She showed no fear, neither in her eyes or in her tone of voice. Merely curiosity. More than one person had told her that one day, she would anger someone enough to try to kill her. The mershark. The blacksmith. They had told her this might happen. She wondered, briefly, what it would feel like to die.
She would prefer not to die just yet. She had too many more games to play. But she had no fear of death.
She stood there silently, watching Sah, her face expressionless, waiting to see if he would try to kill her or not.
