The shocked inhale from across the desk was utterly delightful to Warkhim, and he pursed his lips in what he hoped passed for a sympathetic frown instead of a showcase of his inner glee. She didn't know about her manwhore, he mentally whispered, eyebrow arching in thought. And now she's shaking of all things. Little trollop doesn't know mouth from asshole. Part of him was astounded by her surprise- it had been turns since he'd come across a woman of her age so completely oblivious to the ways of men. Most females simply assumed their bedmates been around the Hold a time or two, and they had probably fucked with the finest a bit themselves. Her innocence would have been endearing if Warkhim were capable of those emotions. As it was, he was rather aroused by her distressed.
"What do you mean, 'who else would have me?'" he murmured, lacing his long fingers atop his desk. "There are two misconceptions I need clarification on, Kira. Firstly, why have you suddenly broken off your engagement? It just seems a bit reactionary, you know. Is Falon's bastard the problem, or is it simply the fact that he's known another woman?" Warkhim veered around the more gruesome details of that topic, not to spare her, but because he was certain she'd try to leave again if he were too callous or inappropriate. Drudges had no sense of humor, particularly when it came to infidelity.
"Secondly, you are highly eligible for a lowborn girl, especially now that you know your connection to the family line." He didn't know how else to spell it out for her, assuming she could spell, but continued, "As I mentioned earlier, some planning on your part would not go awry if you really want to buckle down and find a higher station in the world. And, of course, I would be more than willing to help you, dear cousin." He narrowed his eyes, unsmiling, and waited for her response. It would be exceedingly unwise for the petite brunette to refuse his offer, or even diminish his generosity. He was genuinely, if sleazily, offering to help, and hadn't even responded to her comment about the stutter!
For whatever reason, Warkhim enjoyed what little time he'd spent with Kira, though he found her something of an enigma teetering on the line of true intelligence and social blundering. Perhaps it was because of her ineptitude that he felt the need to guide her, permanently sealing her into his debt. He had no qualms keeping her as a little pet, especially if she climbed the Telgarian ladder with him behind the scenes.
