Mara clapped her hands together. "Sooo... is there a woman in your life, Varg?"

He glanced at her. "What?"

"You know. That loving special? A wife? A mistress?"

"What's your point?"

"It's just that I imagined former lawmen were the sort to have a woman in every port, if you know what I mean?"

He took a deep breath, trying to remain focused. "Do you actually think I would be out here, trudging through the shit with the rest of you people, if someone actually cared for me? Don't be ridiculous, there is no such thing as love for half bloods. But I guess you grew up in the more tolerant parts of town?"

She fell suddenly silent. He reflected over what he had just said, and realised that perhaps he had just hit a sore spot. "I am sorry", he said. "I didn't mean to..."

"Please don't", she interrupted and held back a sob. "Let's just... Just leave it at that."
