Mare considered Crowley's question, and brightened slightly at the idea. "I suppose I don't have to tell them," she said, after a moment. "I can just tell them that I thought they would be okay with me taking off for a while, since it was something I was accustomed to doing back home." She nodded at this, deciding it was an excellent idea.
"My story?" she repeated. "Well. It depends on what you want to know. I can go into detail about how I'm not supposed to be able to electrocute people. How I was supposed to marry the prince of Norta and convince people I had Silver blood so no one would know otherwise." She considered her options. "How I'm in love with the King of Norta and how Prince Maven was a complete and utter bastard."
