Diane moved the small dagger to a pocket in her dress. "I am thinking clearly," she said. "I am going to the gardens to do what I would be doing if all hell had not broken loose. I will continue on this path until someone tells me what is going on. Whether I eat with Prince Tansen or Lord Martinez, surely one of those men will know something. And coming from lands that do not always hide knowledge from women, maybe they will tell me what my own brother would not."<br/><br/>She moved past Nicole, holding her head up high and ready to show that she believed all was well. No assassin would find her an easy mark. She made her way to the garden and waited for her lunch date.<br/><br/>**********<br/><br/>Gavin smiled, stroking a hand down Honore's face. "In private," he whispered, "I will gladly see all that you can be. Claws and all, my love." He turned to sign the papers and then held the pen to Honore for her to sign.<br/><br/>"I can't have you spend too many nights in my room before we tell the world of this," Gavin said, "however, I do not wish to be cheated of a wedding night with my bride. Come to my rooms tonight, after everyone is abed. I will give you a missive incase you are stopped."<br/><br/>Tonight, Gavin intended to be with his wife. No one, not even the Ritter Hex, would stop him.
