#SixSunday - Circle of the Butterfly #2

Last week, Liasneh drew her sergeant's sword and teased Colette's guards for assuming she mean to harm the oracles, (which she does...just not at the moment.) This six follows immediately after last week's.

Liasneh gazed coolly up at the king. She placed the tip of the sword on the box and crossed her arms as if to embrace it. With her hands each grasping the opposite sides of sculpted crossing, she rested her chin on one and tilted her face just slightly in towards the handle.

“What I want, Eric, is to betray Sister Colette’s best kept secret.”

Colette stood up from her chair.

Liasneh shifted on her feet, but continued to lean on the blade as she said, “Her birthday is today.”

    Interesting! I know this isn't a happy thing for Colette, or a safe thing for other people to know . . . And of course I want to know more!

    This is getting interesting. Wonder why Colette's birthday is such a big secret.

    I was not expecting the birthday comment, and I don't think anyone else in the room was either. Great tension in your six! :)

    Love her spunk! Great six!

    P.S. Love your blog tag... "a writer in wife/mom clothing"! I feel that way myself most of the time!
