Alanna stared at Sabine. "Kel? I didn't even realise you'd met her."
Sabine shrugged. "She was down here once with that sarden squire of yours."
"Former squire."
"So he is, thank the gods."
"But Kel?"
Sabine slid her arm around Alanna's waist. "You're not jealous, are you? Not when I'm your second lover."
Alanna flushed. "Of course not. But Kel's not staying here forever, and Mindelan isn't by the sea."
"I'm sure I can swim up a river and find a nearby lake." Alanna scowled and Sabine laughed. "You are jealous. Look, I'm not going anywhere. I just quite like Kel, that's all."
