Dragon Prince 03 - Sunrunner's Fire - Plot & Excerpts
By riding off to Rivenrock today he showed his contempt for Prince Cabar’s claim to jurisdiction over the Sunrunner—while making sure he would know exactly what was said by deputizing Oclel to sit in. The presence of a mere faradhi instead of the Lord of Goddess Keep was an insult that Barig noted with a glower to which Oclel responded with a bland stare. Rohan hid his own annoyance and endured the first portion of the audience with admirable patience, all the while wishing he could be out riding in the fresh air. They sat in the Summer Room, named by Sionell years ago for tapestries depicting the Desert in that season; the hangings were a constant reminder of beauty Rohan would much rather have enjoyed in person rather than stitched in bright wool. Oclel played his part to perfection. He listened to Barig’s case and the lawyers’ amplifications, pleasant face below a shock of fair hair revealing nothing. Rohan’s speculative gaze returned to him many times as he wondered what Andry had instructed him to say and when he was supposed to say it.
