"I do not find you ill-favored," he said quietly. "And this is the most respectable brothel in Stormbreak. If my reputation cannot withstand either of these, then it is time it was broken and reforged."
He tilted his head, serene gaze on his dinner companion as he studied her face, concern warming his emerald eyes and gentling his voice. "What has happened?"
