When First I Met My King: Book One in the Arthur Trilogy
Page 13
Lance knew, but still he wanted to beg the old woman to go on. He was breathing a scent he’d thought had passed forever from the world: warm fur and meadowsweet, the fragrance of Elena’s winter cloak. Still there was something he wanted more. “I will learn to write,” he said, his throat hot and painful with yearning. “But it’s weeks since Art sent me my letter, and will be many more before he’ll receive my reply. Is he... Can you...”
“Oh, you think I can just lift the roof off his Great Hall at Camelet and peer inside, to see him feasting with all his hard-won allies at his round table—trying to stop the brothers from the Out Isles from killing one another to gain that empty place at his right hand?”
Lance shivered in pleasure. Now he could smell crushed moss on the lough-side rocks, and taste, as if Art’s mouth was pressed to his once more, the promises and salt of his farewell. “Yes,” he said to Viviana, or the creature she’d become. “I think you can.”
“Looks that way, doesn’t it? There he is. He’s well, never fear, only tired of carousing in the name of diplomacy, and wishing more than anything else under heaven that...” She paused, then gave a sudden shout of laughter. “Ah, the poor bearcub! A girl in each arm, the world at his feet—and nothing in his head but thoughts of you.”
