Snippet #2741831

Istrain sat quietly in his spot while Haera went to speak with the woman who'd asked for her, and while she came back looking for information. He knew that he was no use right now, so he kept silent and sipped his drink until Haera left. A slight smile came to his lips when Birger commented on how Haera was going to beat that man's ass. "So what you're saying is she has good morals," he said as Birger listed off the things Haera wouldn't accept. Rape, abuse, messing with children - it all made sense. He perked up slightly when Birger leaned in and said he wanted to make a bet, and then his hazel eyes went wide when the man said that he was going to fall for Haera. "I say we double that," he said almost immediately. "I guarantee you'll lose. How long do you give it before you give up and pay up?" Istrain asked, smirking. Even if he was the type to fall in love, falling for Haera would be a damn stupid thing to do because she, like him, didn't care for romance and love. At this point in time, he was confident that this was a bet he'd
easily win.
