Darumem had to give the pretty young woman credit, she did curtsy the right amount and had been quick to apologize for her earlier error. She was an amusing distraction and he did have other things to tend to.
Why did he ask the name of her father? Darumem normally didn't bother asking that sort of information from faceless drudges. The name didn't mean anything to him either.
It was worth it for that smile The thought drifted across his mind. It was a thought that made him realize he was without a wife for too long. He had grown accustomed to somebody warming his bed at night. He missed Suhesa and had not been in a rush to find a new wife but the need for an heir was pressing. He could take this girl for his pleasure, or any drudge that caught his fancy. He didn't want to.
Darumem watched as she left to join her brothers and could see her relax the further she moved away from him. He shook his head, berating himself for standing there watching her leave like some boy seeing his lover returning home.
Turning his back on her he headed for the nearest path that lead out of the public garden. He no longer wanted to be out there in the sun enjoying the weather. A good workout was what he really needed. Or so he told himself.
<<Fin>>
