At first, her brow furrowed as if trying to focus on something she wasn’t sure of. But the more she watched, the deeper it got. Her lips parted slightly as her hand absently patted the woman’s arm. A weird calm came over her. She was oblivious to how the rest of the table was reacting. But for her, her breath hitched, her lips parted in an unspoken syllable, and a shiver ran down her spine to her very core.

She watched him a moment more to be sure it wasn’t a trick of the light. “What do you wish it to be, Lord of House Duroc?” She had no idea what game she had leapt into but she had to know.

His eyes snapped back to the normal, but a fire burned deep in them. “I wish it to be the start of a mutually beneficial task for both of us! Let us see what lies within these caves of yours, and then House Dutoc and Oed V will make use of the bounty. And if there is no material of use, perhaps another purpose would be possible for the area, rather than leaving it as a hole where cowards and thieves seek shelter.”

Urg, Lord Duroc

The snap back to the here and now of his eyes was more disconcerting than when he had slipped there to begin with. It left her gripping the table a moment as if fearing to fall over. She recovered quick enough and quickly downed the last of her wine, a cough catching her this time from her dry throat. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and held the goblet towards B’ghal for a refill since the bottle was on his side now. “I would like that very much, Lord Urg. I will bring it up to the Governor the first chance I get. Hopefully we can start there within the week.”

She stole a quick glance at the woman at her side as if making sure she was ok as well. It didn’t occur to her that the mate to the Lord would have experienced that on more than one occasion. She quickly turned back to Urg with a smile once more.

Urg laughed. “Yes! A week!” and laughed harder, as did no small few members of the contingent in the hall. After a moment, Urg grew quieter and said “Or… you make an appointment with your governor and by the time you are in front of him, maybe you have a full map of the complex and confirmation that the area’s marauders have… ‘moved along’?”

Urg, Lord Duroc

There wasn’t even a heartbeat to pause before Brianna looked up and shook her head. “And leave all the fun to you? I don’t think so, Urg,” not realizing she had dropped his formal title. “I found those caves. They are mine to bust thru with you.” She had a look of greed and fire in her eyes. Whether it was from the prospect of exploration or killing, one wouldn’t be able to tell. The desire and fire was the same for both.

He laughed and then said “Well, you better sober up then, Fire-Born. We are already setting up a base of operations and dealing with the riff raff you encountered earlier.” and he tapped some commands into his bracers and looked at the small display. “Naussican and human thieves, according to the Captain. They have been dealt with. I told him to hold position until our arrival and make sure that the caves are left alone until then as well.” and he looked at her, suddenly serious. “So when do we go?”

Urg, Lord Duroc

She smiled and lifted her glass to him. “In the morning. I wish to enjoy my wine and host this evening, and I will notify the Governor of our trip in the morning.” She glanced sideways at B’Ghal. “Be ready in the morning, unless your Lord has dismissed you, I believe you are still mine till I take the shuttle back. Yes?” She laughed at him and then glanced back at Urg to see what her boldness would yield from him. She knew she was playing a dangerous game with a dangerous man. But for some reason, it thrilled rather than worried her.

B’Ghal looked at her and simply grinned, as if he knew something she didn’t. He then looked at Urg, who just lifted his drink and smiled as the wine ran past the corners of his mouth.

House Duroc

Her brow went up slightly as she noted the exchange between the two. As she took a sip, her eyes on Urg, she gave him a smile. Something was started in this moment. She felt the weight of it. She just wasn’t sure what it was.

Glancing back at her companion after a moment, she asked privately. “What was that all about?”
