A little better. Now up to 2018 words, but I have some catch-up to do if I'm to do 20,000 by the end of the month. Have to stop cleaning the fridge and get down to some real work ;)
Leon kept his face neutral. What was going on? Gil had delicately taken this Kay by the hand, and was leading her out of the palace. What was Gil doing? Was it wise to walk off alone? “I heard tell that you triumphed in a fell battle, a few short months ago?” Leon looked at her in surprise. What was she talking about? “Come, walk with me,” Ree whispered. “And tell me how you vanquished the low-born cur called Adosco.”

When Kay invited him to accompany her, Gil stood in confusion. He tried to catch Leon’s eye, but he had turned to listen to Ree. “Take my arm, you fool.” Whispered Kay. So Gil lifted his right hand, and gently touched it to the back of her left elbow. “Now walk out of the entrance. We need to talk.”
