"I won't fall off my horse again," he scoffed, smiling despite the mock effrontery. Of course, he hoped that Kasb'el, that Caelum, found Lillis again and brought her back to make a Drykas out of her, and by that time Sama'el himself would be married once or twice with children and more on the way. Life was short, and the wheel didn't stop turning for everyone. If Sama'el didn't contribute to the river of life, then his opportunity might pass. Like all men, he would become a bridegroom of Dira one day, but he didn't want her to be his first wife. "I'll make sure and sing Syna into the sky everyday for you, too. You know, in case you forget." He grinned, and fell silent. |
