The Maiden's Thorn Quotes

“The man wore a wide brim hat and his stubble was thicker than I remembered, but the swagger and the wool poncho were unmistakable. He sauntered over to the bar and squinted at me over the cigarillo that seemed to be permanently clenched between his teeth. I folded my arms and squinted back in response to his tough-guy act.
“Of all the bars and all the gin joints in all the towns of Orloins, why do you keep coming to mine?” I hissed. “What are you doing here, Yojimbo?”
“I was about to ask the same of you,’ he removed the cigarillo and pointed to my skirt with the lit end. “And in that outfit? I hardly expect that most soldiers in the king’s army’d be caught wearing a dress.”
