“Oh - yes, of course,” Brangaine nodded, knowing she probably shouldn’t but, as always, her desire to be near Mark drowning out her common sense. She tried to tell herself it was her duty to aid her king in what capacity he needed, but in her heart she knew there would be little that she, as a handmaiden, would know that he wouldn’t. She just wanted to walk by him a little bit longer. “What do you want to know?”
Mark thought for a moment. “Anything that could possibly be dismissed by the official sources for being too ordinary but might actually be useful?” he suggested with a small shrug. “I hear the castle staff often knows more about what’s actually going on than the masters of the house.” If was good to keep one’s eyes and ears open to even the unlikeliest sources.
