"I would not call that reckless so much as sensible," she says dryly. "Though I can see how her kinfolk might think otherwise. But my brother would never dishonour her, nor let her compromise herself in their eyes. So if that is the worst she would do I at least am happy to leave her to it. Or possibly to assist."
She sighs a little and moved closer to him, leaning her head on his chest. "I would like to see my brother happy," she murmurs. "I would like to see him we'd for love, as we shall, and not merely for duty. The cares of the realm weigh heavily on him. Bad enough that I must leave him; worse if he does try to carry all alone in my absence."
