"Nasuada, I—" He tries to make her understand why. He did those things for her, and for Eragon.

She, of course, refuses to believe such a thing. The rain streaks her face and her eyes flash desert fire. Such a fierce, proud, unforgiving woman.

"You expect me to believe that you murdered for me?"

"Yes?"

"You idiot! You gods-cursed—"

Without thinking, he kisses her, spice and oranges, sweet and wild, like wine.

The punch to the jaw sends him reeling.

And Eragon, damn him, snorts into his potatoes.
