Clark snorted, “Obviously the reports of Sly being here were false.” He turned, “I will take the girl with me. Your payment will be coming shortly.”
Myron held Juniper closer, “No, I don’t think you are taking my cabin girl.” Myron added, “she is not the girl you are seeking.”
“So she does not have the marking?”
“Not that I saw.”
“Oh,” Clark said understanding the relationship. “Well, then you should get back to work. Sly is wanted by the king. You can help, with the same terms.”
The man walked off. Leaving Myron holding Juniper. He did not want to let her go just yet, he knew her magic had not been activated and he hoped that… his thoughts were not where they should be.
He set her down on the floor to examine the damage.
