Jamie still kept looking quizzically at Roseleaf for a moment, sending a brief glance to the captain. No matter, Roseleaf was probably just trying to make him feel better. Was that sweet of her or completely pathetic of him?
“Tell ye wot. I’ll let ye gain a little back, why don’t t’shoot us wot ye can do with a blade?”
He looked excited at the idea of being able to show off his swordfighting abilities a bit, but then he shook his head as he remembered his other prior commitments. "I'd love to, m'gel. Mayhap another time? I've actually a few one-on-one lessons this afternoon with some o' my recruits. I have to get goin' now."
Jamie made to leave, but then he hesitated and turned back a moment. Earlier, when he'd stuck around the infirmary with Roseleaf, he'd meant it to just be a small flirtation, something he did fairly often. But the haremaid had not taken to him as quickly as he was accustomed to. It was an interesting change of pace. And she was interesting.
Hoping Aidan would not later have his head for this, Jamie turned back to Roseleaf with a small smile. "Roseleaf, it was nice t'meet you and spend some time with you this afternoon." He paused, turning over the next part in his head before he continued. "I'd like t'see more of you. Suppose we could make this a more regular meeting?"
