160 - No Nursing Mahid

"Honoured daena," Kyriala used the precise term for guardian/chaperon. "Is it proper for a lady to inquire for the state of her betrothed's health?" She didn't look up from the kerchief she was embroidering with tiny, stylized flames all around the edges. Inensa Mahid, her fine features set in a way that almost disguised how similar the two women were in bone structure, smoothed the edges

Then he came over and sat down on the bed next to me. "Did he… um… are you all right?""It would be pretty stupid of him to torture me when I'll be the power over him one day, wouldn't it? I'm starting to think he's really
