[30.4] KING EDWARD IV<br />

"Did you really..." Edward broke off. Questions starting in that fashion did not draw<br />

satisfactory answers from the elf.<br />

"Has Mith been telling thee tales? He's had ten years to polish that one. I doubt not it glistens<br />

"He told me how you met, too."<br />

"I thought he would."<br />

"I didn't understand why you went off with him? He was a thief and a stableboy and you were<br />

a prince."<br />

"You have just named three excellent reasons, Prince."<br />

"You never give me serious answers."<br />

"A serious charge. Very well, then. I saw myself through Mith's eyes and misliked what I<br />

saw: a callous bully and a coward, fit to be neither boy nor man nor prince. Why did you run<br />

off, Prince?"<br />

Edward hung his head mutely. "Nay, I do not require answers. Come, it grows late."<br />

Moraelyn reached his hand for Edward's, but Edward shook him off. If Moraelyn was a<br />
