“My wedding crown.”
“You’re getting married?” Bran asked and he looked even more amused than Mithala, as if he had not had this much fun in a long, long time. Shea debated hitting him.

It would ruin the holidays, what with him dripping water al over the floor.” There was a moment of startled silence, then Bran, Mithala, and Shea burst into laughter. Galen was glaring at them al. “Fools, this is not the time for jest.”
Bran choked back his laughter for a moment.“Sir elf, if now is not the time, then there will never be one; running over dry land from the wrath of fishes is nothing but a jest.”
“Mercenaries,” Galen spat with disgust, leaping onto his mare.”
