“That night on the balcony,” he said. “Why did you kiss me?” Lila’s chest tightened. “It seemed like a good idea.” Kell frowned. “That’s all?” He started to let go, but she didn’t. Their hands hung between them, intertwined. Lila let out a short, breathless laugh. “What do you want, Kell? A declaration of my affection? I kissed you because I wanted to and—” His hand tightened around hers, pulling her into him, her free hand splayed against his chest for balance. “And now?” he whispered.

Like an escape route.”

“Are you strong enough to win?” she asked. Was he? This wasn’t a tournament magician. Wasn’t even a sliver of magic like Vitari. Osaron had destroyed an entire world. Changed another on a whim. “I don’t know,” he said honestly. Lila flashed a glimmer of a smile, sharp as glass. “Good,” she answered, pushing open the door. “Only fools are certain.”

“I’m sorry,” teased Lila, “when did someone exchange my stalwart captain for a whining noble?” “When did someone exchange my best thief for a thorn in the ass?” “Ah,” she said, “but I’ve always been one of those.”

“What happened?” Lila dragged herself to a sitting position. “Nothing,” she muttered, getting to her feet. Blood was still sliding in fat drops down her fingers. “This is nothing?” Lila rolled her neck. “Nothing I couldn’t handle,” she amended.

Hastra paled, and Kell swept Lila up into his arms, amazed at her lightness. She took up so much space in the world—in his world—it was hard to imagine her being so slight. In his mind, she was made of stone.
