Uneasy the Head
“Do you often think about the future?” Roald asked, softly, adding another bit of kindling to their fire.
“Some,” said, Kel, continuing to polish her armor. “While I serve the crown, I go where I am sent.”
“ ‘The crown’,” repeated Roald, with a wry laugh. “Someday I will be ‘the crown’. I’ll be sending people into danger.”
“And we’ll go, willingly,” Kel told him. “You’re a good man, Roald, and you’ll be a good king.”
The prince ducked his head, smiling. “When you say it, Kel, I almost believe you.”
“You’ll see,” she said, going back to her armor.
