After what she'd been through that evening, Bronwen really didn't want to walk home alone. "Thank you for offering. The truth is, after being so pale and ill earlier due to what happened this evening, I really don't think I should be alone." She shivered in spite of herself. "I know that he's gone now, and that none of the things he said are true, but still...this isn't a night I will easily forget."
She had to laugh, though, when he said the party was getting old to him. "Oh come now, they're not that boring...except maybe when you don't know very many people, like me. My betrothed, Cadfan, was a friend of my brother's, you see, so I never associated with very many people besides my brother's friends and our family. There don't seem to be many noble ladies near my age around, so growing up, I was my own playmate. But if you're someone who knows a lot of people, like Lady Hatshepsut, for example, there's a lot of catching up to do, I'd imagine."
