"Hahaha!" Old Fang laughed thunderously, causing the ground to tremble. "So? If they're not your wives, what are they? Girlfriends?"
"Exactly that." Darius was oblivious to his own statement. He heard it as two separated wirds and only realized later when Michaela and Sarah had a flushed and reddish face. "That's not what I meant to say! Urgh… Forget it. In any case, they are my friends. Yes, new friends. They'll be staying in the village till late autumn. That's why I want to introduce them to you. Especially Sarah."
"Hmm." Old Fang lowered his massive head and took a sniff on Michaela first. "Hmm. I have seen you. You were with Mathilda during the siege."
"That I am. Old Fang. It's an honor to meet you in person."
Old Fang then turned to Sarah. She looked so terrified before Old Fang and Luna's dominating presence.
"Name's Sarah Cromwell. At your service, m'lords."
