Rainbow Snippet November 26-27

11/26/2016

7 Comments

 
It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your tbr. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.

This week I have another snippet from The Sorcerer's Guardian (which will be out on Monday!) for you. It's a bit longer than six sentences (sorry!). Savarin and Loriot stopped for the night at an inn early in their journey and are getting on their way in the morning, and Loriot is learning what life is often like for Savarin.
Picture
Loriot was there, standing near the saddled horses with the innkeeper’s daughter. She handed Loriot a bag, presumably containing the promised food, and Loriot smiled at the girl. Savarin heard him thank her as he walked closer. She smiled and blushed slightly, the gaze she directed at Loriot just a bit adoring. Savarin ignored them and went to the horses to secure his bags. The innkeeper’s daughter jumped when she saw him and fell into another curtsy, stumbling a bit before she turned and scurried away mumbling a few words about returning to her duties. 

Loriot turned to Savarin with the same quizzical look he’d had at breakfast. Only this time Loriot didn’t leave the question unspoken. “What was that about?” Loriot asked as he secured the food in one of his saddlebags. “The innkeeper’s daughter acting like that?” 

He mounted up before he answered, taking time to decide if he wanted to explain and how much. “I’m the most powerful sorcerer in Tournai.” 

“And?” Loriot mounted his own horse, then turned an inquiring gaze on him. 

“And she obviously knew that.”

“And?”

​“And that makes some people uncomfortable.”

<i>"And that makes some people uncomfortable."</i> - Ha! Apparently Loriot isn't as impressed as the innkeeper's daughter. Or maybe he just knows Savarin wouldn't abuse his powers?

Probably helps that he's a pretty handsome guy, too ;)

Doesn't look like Loriot has the same problem being nervous around Savarin. :)

Loriot seems to be sincerely baffled as to why that would make people nervous.

Heh, Savarin's dry come backs to Loriot's aggressive questioning is so delightful!

Hehe, nothing like a confused friend to keep your feet on the ground. What do you mean uncomfortable? Of you?

Power can make some people nervous.
