She walked away, hands under her patched apron.
"Fanche missed you desperately, lady knight," Saefas assured Kel. "She just hasn't got the proper words."
"You are a flatterer, Master Saefas," Kel informed him.
"So she tells me, all the time," admitted Saefas, his eyes mischievous. "What do you think? Will I win her in the end?"
Kel looked at him. "She will make your life a misery," she told the man.
Saefas grinned. "That's what I hope for."
