She pulled out the dagger Iefyr had given her and decided to take a proper look at it. She had kept it on her since he gifted it to her. He was right it was small enough to be discreet but sharp enough to be deadly. She hoped she would never have to use it. She felt tears forming in her eyes as she thought of Iefyr’s playful smile, he had been far more relaxed out of the kingdom of Laseron'Dir and she had loved his care free playful nature. It was a contrast to the deeply troubled prince who was even darker outside of his kingdom and she wondered what had been on his mind.
