Girik
Speaking of arranged marriages – which we weren’t – I helped coordinate and design the marriage between Girik and my sister Drella. Not to be controlling or a prat, but I needed someone with an intense list of specifications: An army large enough to take on my mother, if it came to it; the ability to treat with my mother and make it appear genuine; the ability to love my sister in the way that she deserved; willingness to marry someone from an inbred and volatile line.
Girik was all of that and more. As far as I know, he has never let her down.
