“I would think very carefully about what you say next,” Kieran warned. Framont glanced at him. “Will you harm me? Threaten me with death? I fear no such thing.” “There are things far worse than death. Like her when she’s annoyed.” He jerked his chin in my direction. “She likes to stab things then. But when she gets angry? You’ll see exactly what a god is capable of.”

Kieran started to frown. “Are you about to cry?” “No.” “Doesn’t look that way.” “Then stop looking, and it won’t.” “That doesn’t even make sense, Poppy.” A burst of sugary amusement gathered on the tip of my tongue. I glared at him. “This isn’t funny.” “I know it shouldn’t be.” His lips twitched. “But it kind of is.” “Shut up,” I griped.
