I really love your dialogue. <3 My very favorite bits from this chapter:
“If you can get along with your mother and daughter, you can deal with a wife,” Hakkabi declared, rising to his feet and finishing his coffee, “Now, I will return to my quarters. Scouts are set out to watch the riders from the Empire, they will bring word at any changes. Good evening.” Sheldon glared at the general as he marched from the room, and finally muttered, rubbing his temples. “Bad enough I have to listen to my family bitch about this, now my own blasted general wants to play matchmaker,” Sheldon griped as he finished his coffee.
“He is an untried and untrained youth. A few days in the sort of dungeon as he must believe we have will have him telling us his entire sad tale,” Hakkabi offered with a shrug, toeing at the young man. ... “Horrible, filthy, damp, dank, rat and roach infested? Do you have any idea what the maid staff would do to me if I introduced that into their nice, clean tower?” Sheldon inquired dryly, “Or any idea of how many of those rats and roaches my daughter would make into pets?”
And now I'm curious about these Winnibels. Are they going to come up again?
