King of Forever: A Gothic Scottish Fairy Tale: 3 (Bright Spear Trilogy)

What was so important that you had to call us here today fox? Murdoch demanded though his voice was soft and gentle. For Sorchas sake Lachlan assumed though given the kelpies usage of his favourite insult fox he had to wonder what the point was of changing his tone. Either way it didnt matter; Lachlan had to pose his request to Sorcha regardless of what Murdoch said or did over the next few all-important minutes. Now that he was faced with what he had to ask however Lachlan found that he could not look at Sorcha at all. He straightened on the throne smoothing a hand over his hair and hooking a finger inside the uncomfortably restrictive collar of his human shirt as his brain fumbled for the right words. What I have to say - what I have to ask of you he began very slowly is no easy request. I am well aware of that. Yet I have thought on the matter at length over the past five years and find myself in a position where it would be detrimental to delay voicing my request any longer. Murdoch frowned deeply suspicious though Sorchas previously sad expression changed in a moment to one of curiosity. She closed the gap between herself and the throne to rest a hand over Lachlans. Her skin was icy cold sending a shiver down his spine. But the way Sorcha looked at him was warm and familiar and tugged at Lachlans heart forcing his request out of his mouth before he could do anything to stop it.
