Roen absently flipped through the pieces of parchment, though her eyes saw none of the detailed drawings on them. She was trying to keep her hands busy--no, her mind busy--but was failing miserably at it.
Daegsatz was not being much of a help, which irked her...but she was forced to admit that it could have been just her own frustrations boiling over that clouded her judgement.
The parchment was set back down with a quick slap, the paladin scowling. “It is probably best,†she blurted out without warning. “He and I never saw things eye to eye, anyroad.†She shot Daegsatz a sharper look than he deserved.
“Your captain has his way of doing things and will brook none other. No council. No mercy. No reconsideration.†She released a sharp exhale through her nose. “He and I were never meant to work together. We would have never succeeded.â€
Even as she spoke them, Roen knew these were just words of anger fueled by bitterness. She thought proclaiming them aloud would make her feel better.
It did not.
