The identical blank look I got from the two of them was comical.
“On my planet,” I explained, “a male breeder would worry about his offspring.”
Bane took another portion of meat and seemed to be differing the conversation to Christof.

That flustered me. Of course Christof would have pulled from my memories something that seemingly insubstantial.
“good male breeder,” “would worry about his offspring.”
I said trying to get back to the argument,
Christof offereda piece of meat and grinned.
“Why would he worry about Hannah? She is a woman and she learned from him. He is the best. If she learned well, she will also be the best.”

“The others were here already,” Kein said as soon as they walked in. Christof unbundledand checked for any damage before I could speak.
“Did they touch you or speak to you?” Bane asked with a hand on the hilt of his sword.
