Summary
Maybe that's where all her tension's from. Three days spent lazing around, treated by the servants and soldiers like she was something delicate. Of course it'd bother her. She's a knight.
Then she realizes that it's not that, either. She's not some restless child. She's not a brute, lunging at any chance to fight.
Pomni is just a knight who wonders about her friends.
There's no good way to list all of Pomni's gripes with the journey at hand. The dangers lurking in Caine's kingdom are numerous, beyond her wildest imaginations, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg. He's not some intangible threat to her peace anymore. Something happened, and she needs to get to the bottom of it.
She's primed to take whatever his dangerous land gives her, but Pomni realizes that her perilous task takes her closer to herself than she would've realized.

Summary
Before he could turn, she said, "Why are you in here?"
Despite the scare he got from the sound of her, he drew out the action of turning like he was drenched in syrup. His hands held up placatingly by his head, like she was aiming a crossbow at him.
He didn't have the expression of fear or shame one would imagine, though. Jax was grinning.
Lady Pomni settled into her newest role as castle knight with the grace and dedication necessary. She wasn't bothered by much of anything, only the matters that haunted her king and queen, the more concrete threats that lingered on the outside. She was as flawless of a knight as she wanted everyone to think.
Nobody had to know the steady pressure of a legacy she had left behind. Nobody had to know how closely she held her weak heart to her chest. Finally, nobody had to know about the interest she took in the palace's newest ruffian; Jax Harland.

Summary
Evidently, nobody else is bothered by the strange, electric air he senses. Before a storm. He's hovering in the place where lightning will strike- right onto the castle.
Jax doesn't know why nobody else points it out. It feels so obvious to him.
Then again, he's not pointing it out either.
Jax, under a mask of uncaring and selfishness, finds that he can't just sit idle while his home is shaken at the roots. Something terribly major has happened, that may shake history forever

Summary
"No, no. Nothing like that. Just, the royal court's having a little celebration. Sir Kaufmo's idea, then it got around, and, well. You know how Zooble is. Making all those plans real." A childish glee lightened Ragatha's face.
"Is everyone there?"
Ragatha smiled knowingly. "Well, they would be, if you attended."
Her cheeks blazed, and she wisely chose to angle her head away then. Pomni was briefly haunted by the tone of that. Was he waiting for her to show up, interest determined by her presence?
She just nodded.
Lady Pomni had difficulties with things unpredictable. Which is why she was pursuing Jax, of all people, at an impromptu party hosted by her fellow nobles.
Being clear about your intent is good, sometimes.

Summary
Pomni was hard to discern past her humility, where she seemed to set into the task like a cog shifted in her brain. Maybe she'd hate this as much as he would. Maybe she was thrilled to figure out all his secrets, so she could use them to poison the throne.
Maybe the glint of her eyes was excitement, and not malice.
At the age of nineteen, Jax was taken under the wing of the new queen and king. He was offered fine robes, luxurious courtyards, and freedom he hadn't felt since he was a boy, wandering the woods with his mentor. It wasn't enough for him, even after a year spent in their clutches.
One of the issues he found was regarding the palace knight, Lady Pomni. He thought of her as ungrateful, a simple mistake on behalf of the people who let her ascend the ranks. Jax may have started to think otherwise, when they were assigned on a month's long journey together.

Summary
It wasn't fair. She spent half the adventure absolutely dripping with sweat, emanating the scent that had kicked on his latest spell of hormones, and then she goes and rinses it all off without a care?
---
Jax thinks Pomni smells really good. Really really good. So good it kind of kicks off his heat. And so good that he can't stop thinking about her, or how she might smell underneath him...
