(His brows rose steadily higher as Bree continued to talk, and he realized that he fully appreciated a woman who was just as blunt as he was. Being the sort of man who didn't speak unless it was prudent to do so - pretty much only when he had no other alternative - he remained silent for quite a few moments, just watching her. It was as though his eyes could see into her and he were scanning her soul to be sure she spoke the truth about his friend. To be honest, he had felt more than a little abandoned by Zidane.. and wasn't all that ready to go charging to the rescue of a lizard that had bailed on him as soon as he had realized he was free. Tiernan still lacked a concrete position in life.. still felt like an outsider, a vagrant, a squatter. It was an unsettling feeling that left him restless and more than a little annoyed with things. He still could not look upon his brother without wanting to rage and fight.. could not look upon himself without wanting to break down and weep for what he had suffered and all the time he had lost. Kerri was the one anchor that kept him from drifting away or ending his life.. but even that scared him, for an anchor's chain could snap should the seas become too rough. It was the way the woman laid her hand over her belly that had him cocking his head slightly. Had Dane made a family with her? Could he very well stand by and allow a family to be torn apart because he was bitter? He looked over his shoulder towards the door, as if he were willing Kerri to be there, to tell him what to do. That was how much he depended on her to ground him. Gaze swinging back to Bree, he finally nodded.) I will go with you. But I shall ride. (He said, not about to go flying around atop a dragon. No. Not gonna happen. He would probably throw up and mess up the upholstry or something. Crossing his muscled arms across his now broad chest, he eyed her specutatively. Since she had left he had put on considerable bulk and muscle, and the black tee he wore was stretched across his frame. Apparently Kerri liked that.) I will bring my fiance with me.
