4 suitor charged Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3903 2 And it was all done in such good fun that neither Graevis nor any suitor of her unsuspecting dance partner ever seemed to care.

5 unrivaled dent Verb Gerund UNKNOWN 3904 2 Pettibwa just had an unrivaled love of life and of other people. The arrow hit solidly, denting the armor plate and driving through, but not so deep as to cause any serious wound.

11 savior sulfuric Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3910 2 But she knew, too, the atmosphere of the Way, and the last thing in the world the young woman wanted was to make things difficult for Graevis and Pettibwa, her saviors.

13 joke dripping Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3912 2 Avelyn saw nothing at all humorous in the ridiculous joke, nor did the few crewmen close enough at hand to hear the insults. Tuntun flew away, back up toward the combatants, her slender daggers in hand, both dripping magma from Quintall's eyes.

17 toast spew Noun UNKNOWN 3916 2 Cat looked back appreciatively, and over Pettibwa's large round shoulder, she saw again the handsome well-dressed young man, watching her go, lifting his glass of wine in apparent toast to her. It came up fast through the hole in the floor at the side of the dais, rushed past the flowing lava quickly, spewing the red stone all about.
18 solitude repertoire Noun UNKNOWN 3917 2 Her rage bubbled away, and she turned from the alley, walking back into the solitude of the darkened rooftop.

19 rightful archway Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3918 2 She envisioned herself as a light source, a blazing sun, rightful owner of this mortal coil, and she fought back.

23 apron rotate Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3922 2 Sometime later, Pettibwa came out of the inn, rubbing her hands on her apron, wiping the sweat from her brow, smiling, always smiling, as she went about the business of her life.

24 brine starkness Noun UNKNOWN C1 3923 2 Even now, after nearly four years in Palmaris, when she knew every street, where to go, where to avoid, and when the dark image of the great Masur Delaval and the smell of brine and the wind filled with crisp wetness had become very familiar to her, she could not consider the place her home. The starkness of the scene from this vantage point, in this mounting light, amazed the companions.
25 affectionately buck Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3924 2 It had been given to her affectionately, she knew, and with all sympathy for her pitiful predicament, and so she had not argued.

26 soot impetuous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3925 2 There lay Avelyn, motionless and soot covered. Their fathers, who had come forward to meet the impetuous children, to scold them again for being so far away from Dundalis, let the opportunity pass.

28 phenomenon intervene Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3927 2 Perhaps, but Juraviel knew, too, that such events might accompany a larger and darker phenomenon, that earthquakes that could tear the earth as here, that goblin raids upon villages, like the one that had orphaned Elbryan not five years before, might signal something evil indeed.

29 metallic sustain Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3928 2 She considered going back into the Way and inquiring about this Halo right then, but her concentration was broken by a sharp, metallic sound.

30 lovely simultaneously Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3929 2 She went for the walk, and truly had a lovely time, for she found that Connor was as easy to talk to as he was to look, at.

31 namesake grinding Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3930 2 Quick as her namesake, the young woman leaped across and put her knee heavily into the drunk's chest, knocking him flat to the roof. A grinding sound, the great gates sliding open, brought the young man from his contemplations.

37 ingrained leak Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3936 2 It seemed that as every ceremony became ingrained within him, it lost a bit of its mystery, and thus, its holiness. He felt the first tears leaking from his eyes and tried to deny them.

40 ironic explicit Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3939 2 The thought was more than a little unsettling to gentle Avelyn Desbris, and he thought it ironic that Quintall's anger was no more than proof that he, and not the stocky, ferocious man, was the better choice for Pimaninicuit.

41 reservation sphere Plural Noun UNKNOWN C1 3940 2 Even skeptical Master Siherton, whatever reservations he continued to hold about Avelyn as a fellow human being, had to admit that the man was the obvious choice, the God-given choice, for Pimaninicuit.

47 office empathy Noun UNKNOWN C1 3946 2 The other three chosen were already in the spacious office when Avelyn and Jojonah arrived. But Elbryan felt that soft feeling - that sympathy, that empathy - and he knew then that he was not alone.

52 untended mutual PastTense Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3951 2 Except for that hardened face with its wild, untended beard, this man could have passed as a brother of Tol Yuganick, Elbryan noted distastefully.

53 seamen vague Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3952 2 He had heard the term before, and he knew Quintall and the others used it for the common seamen, but he had no idea what it meant. Master Jojonah's instructions were vague at best, but Avelyn came to understand them in his heart.

60 noisily devil Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3959 2 The four crewmen of the Windrunner's boat, which was bouncing noisily against the wooden dock, sat through it all with smirking faces, thoroughly amused and certainly not impressed.

61 crusty thrive Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3960 2 Elbryan froze as he heard the crusty snow crunch under his feet. Brothers Avelyn, Quintall, Pellimar, and Thagraine learned to survive, even thrive, on no more than four hours of sleep.
62 jealous ironic Adjective Verb UNKNOWN C1 3961 2 Avelyn watched that stare, and the return look Quintall offered to the master, and he understood that, while Quintall hated him and was jealous of him, the man would indeed protect him at all costs on the journey to and from the island.

63 joyous skeptical Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3962 2 The ceremony went off perfectly solemn yet joyous, ladies crying, men standing tall and handsome. Elbryan's expression was skeptical.
64 extent lobby Noun Verb B2 C1 3963 2 The young man paused then to consider the extent of his progress. Connor, sitting back on one of the plush chairs in the lobby, turned an absent gaze his companion's way.
65 misstep acutely Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3964 2 Only the previous autumn, he would not even have noticed his last slight misstep. That garment held Avelyn's attention acutely, for he sensed that at least one of those jewels, a small ruby, was more than ornamental.
66 clumsy bouncing Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3965 2 Elbryan had learned to walk nearly silently - though he still thought himself clumsy when measured against the graceful elves!

67 moot despondently Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3966 2 The point was moot, anyway, for Elbryan never got close to touching the elusive deer. "I lost control," Elbryan said despondently.
68 despondently yelling Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3967 2 "I lost control," Elbryan said despondently. The elf went into a headlong roll, right between the young man's widespread legs, came up to his feet behind the yelling and turning Elbryan, and reversed his momentum, stabbing both his poles back.
69 fumbling kidney Noun UNKNOWN C1 3968 2 Even the pursuit seemed left behind, the fumbling giants not keeping pace. Elbryan was already into his responding turn but not far enough; and the elf's blades poked him hard in the kidneys.
70 session frustrated Plural Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3969 2 Not that Juraviel and the others weren't strong; it constantly amazed Elbryan how much power an elf packed into its tiny frame, power he felt all too often in the sting of a practice sword's strike during his sparring sessions! To frustrated Jill's thinking, Gofflaw could use a throw or two across a room.
71 chat endure Verb UNKNOWN C1 3970 2 Such were Juraviel's methods, his enchanting and engrossing conversation techniques, that Elbryan hardly realized this to be perhaps the most important part of his training, these daily chats, anecdotal and enjoyable. But the old sea dog couldn't fathom the level of physical training these four men had endured.
72 dice pirate Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3971 2 But perhaps he'd have time for a few drinks and a dice game before. "To be in sight of land would mean to be in sight of pirates." He snorted and walked away, but paused, looked back, and motioned to them.
73 lodging tossing Noun UNKNOWN C1 3972 2 Elbryan moved grudgingly to his lodging, a low, wide house on the bottom boughs of a thick-limbed elm. His sleep every night was fitful, tossing and turning even more than did the Windrunner on the rough swells.

76 feint precision Noun UNKNOWN C1 3975 2 He was too fast for most humans, dizzying them with winding, sweeping feints before the lightning strike killed them. But that quickness and precision would not be enough, Elbryan told himself.
77 counterclockwise magnetic Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3976 2 As soon as he started around, then, Elbryan turned his right foot out and went around counterclockwise, pulling in his hip to avoid a swipe of that axe. Lodestone was highly magnetic; its enchantment would send it fast to a metal surface.
78 clicking refuge Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3977 2 Elbryan uttered a soft clicking sound, and Symphony responded by lifting his ears and nickering. She couldn't look at the man but kept her eyes locked on the stars, as if seeking refuge high above.
79 twirling absent Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3978 2 He hardly saw the elf's attacks, but he took comfort in the clicking sounds as the twirling pole picked off each one. Connor, sitting back on one of the plush chairs in the lobby, turned an absent gaze his companion's way.
80 yelling discard Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3979 2 The elf went into a headlong roll, right between the young man's widespread legs, came up to his feet behind the yelling and turning Elbryan, and reversed his momentum, stabbing both his poles back.

81 kidney applaud Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3980 2 Elbryan was already into his responding turn but not far enough; and the elf's blades poked him hard in the kidneys.
