She usually greets THEIR tempers with good humor, so it was fun to have her throw the following tantrum at them together (this is from the brother Zechariah's POV):<br /><br />Kasia repositioned the babe and shot her husband a glance half amused and half frustrated. “Allow me to make introductions, then. Zech, this is Xerxes, the king of kings and self-proclaimed master of creation, who thinks he can bend all of nature to his whim. Xerxes, my stubborn, idiotic brother Zechariah who understands consequences about as well as you do. You two have much in common. Enjoy each other’s company.”<br /><br />With that, she left. Actually left him there, standing in the room with no one but the king and his servants.<br /><br />Xerxes stepped to his side, his gaze on Kasia’s retreating back. “She is the only person in the world who would dare speak to me like that.”<br /><br />A laugh surprised its way out of his mouth. “She has always been outspoken.”<br /><br />“I learned that within moments of meeting her–-and fell for her that quickly.” He flashed his smile Zechariah’s way and extended a hand. “It is good to meet you, Zechariah. Kasia has told me much about you, though she never mentioned we share vices.”<br /><br />Zechariah clasped the king’s wrist, and marveled. He may resent the man, but still. He was king. “I suppose some things are common to men no matter their station.”<br /><br />“And those things will never fail to anger their women.”Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
