We were heading back down the rocky path, when Theon grabbed my wrist, making me gasp as he turned my hand, palm upwards. “What is it?” I asked, trying to ignore the tingles I felt at his touch and how close he was standing.

Besides, he said it was magic he doesn’t fucking recognise; I don’t see how it can be a mage then.” Theon replied coldly. “Either way, it
