"And a lot of them don't understand that persistence won't change my mind."
Wirr frowned. "They won't leave you alone?"
Dezia shook her head. "Several of them were apparently told by their father's to woo me at all costs. I've had more expressions of undying love in the last few months than I would want to see in a lifetime."

Even before the page count begins, there's a piece of text, and the very first sentence is:
"Wirr," he said in vague surprise, swinging the door wide enough to let his blond-haired friend's athletic frame through. "What are you doing here?"
I have 2 questions:
1. What is vague surprise?
2. Was it really necessary to use all those adjectives? "blond-haired friend's athletic frame", that's a lot all at once.

"Why's that?"
Dezia hesitated, looking embarrassed. "I shot one of them. Just before I left." She paused. "In fact, it may have been why Karaliene insisted I come with her and Aelric. I... wasn't too popular with House Tel'Shan."
Wirr gave her and incredulous stare. "Shot? As in, with an arrow?"
"Accidentally, and only in the shoulder. It wasn't much more than a graze." said Dezia defensively. "Denn Tel'Shan. He said he'd do anything for me, so I said I needed someone to hold up targets while I practiced." She winced at the memory, but the edges of her mouth still curled upward slightly. "The idiot didn't realise it was a joke. Then when I tried to back out by explaining to him that it was really dangerous, he got quite upset."
