Another thing, What is up with Az? She tells DG that she can have a number of affairs with men that she likes and even cozies up to Cain to calm him down around Umbrey. I know she wants to see DG happy, but is this really the right course of action?
You thought Az was cozying up? So not my intention.
She wanted DG to feel better about going into a more-or-less arranged marriage, so the whole "you can have lovers" thing was to assuage her fears about never having love or passion in her life. I think Az worries that DG's sacrificed her chance at romantic happiness, and she blames herself because she abdicated, forcing DG into this marriage, so any chance she sees to help ease DG's way along, she takes it. I think she'd be thrilled if DG fell in love with Cain, but right now that doesn't seem to be the case (as far as she knows, anyway).
Okay, maybe cozying wasn't the right word. How about trying to calm Cain down before he causes a political crisis by killing Umbrey. That sound better? I mean I could practically see Cain fighting to not growl at Umbrey like an overpossessive dog.
Yeah, calming him down. And Cain was definitely wanting to growl, but he was trying to appeal to his higher nature! Plus in his rational side, he's thinking that maybe marrying Umbrey would be better for DG in the long run, and if she had a chance at happiness he wouldn't want to keep her from it, because he can't really let himself think that he and DG could be happy like that. Not yet.
And Cain was definitely wanting to growl, but he was trying to appeal to his higher nature! Appealing to his higher nature! That's funny!
Aaaaaaargh! So frustrating these two are! I just wanna hit them over the head with baseball bats! But I truly LOVE this story and I can't wait to read what comes next!
