Her boys were absolutely hilarious. Kain had the filthiest mind ever since his voice had lowered, and he spent so much time making double entendres around Cecil that the younger man was looking out for them now. She didn't know what perverse thoughts the dragoon had been detailing to the shorter knight, but Cecil was flushed pink and glancing her way nervously. Judging by the lecherous grin on Kain's face and the way chocolate eyes kept sweeping in her direction from across the room, it may well have had to do with her.
King Edge had sent up some of the crops indigenous to Eblan as a token of good will recently, and in that shipment had been a bunch of long yellow fruits called bananas; Rosa liked the way they tasted, and was currently peeling one to eat. ...She knew exactly what Kain was thinking now, because Kain thought with the wrong head whenever he could get away with it, and he was dead set on corrupting her poor husband. But Rosa could play, too. And she was better at it. So she pretended, for her own amusement, that the banana was what Kain was insinuating, and watched out of the corner of her eye, so as not to tip them off, as the dragoon leered and Cecil blushed bright red. Once she was positive that she had them going, she pushed the banana far enough into her mouth that it was a tad uncomfortable and then bit it in half. The way that the color drained from their faces, only to be replaced by a rather green tint, was completely worth it.
