Rainbow Snippets: No Frivolous Usage

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following on from the previous snippet where Dylan and the group finally start making camp…

Dylan set about helping Katarina and Tracker clear the ground for their tents, whilst Marin disappeared into the forest to place her traps and find a stream to fill their water skins. He had offered to save her the trouble of the latter back when they’d first started travelling together. With the forest’s natural dampness, condensing the morning dew that clung to the tents would leave them with more than enough.

Authril had opposed the act then, stating it was a frivolous use of his power. A valid concern at the time as he’d been worn out from not only the battle with the Udynean spellster, but also from combating exhaustion and a lack of proper nourishment. All things that he had recovered from. He would broach the subject tomorrow. No point offering after the deed was done and he’d never find Marin beforehand.

I’ll be back with more from In Love and Death next weekend. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
