Lydia stepped aside, but not enough to where Onmund could slip by easily. She glared at him, her mouth pulled back in what looked like a snarl.
That is Lydia's perpetual look, it scared me too.
I'm glad she let him leave though. His excuse for why he dallied with Alva was flimsy and self-serving. The fact that he wanted to blame Kayla for his weakness made him even less of a man.
Kayla's calling all the shots for Onmund's life and thinking she had to "protect Onmund" from danger - that would be un-manning to any male, but the fact that Onmund let her do it shows he wasn't living up to his testosterone anyway.
What I love here is that you have given us real flawed characters to work with, so we can see how life shapes them to overcome those flaws. Loving this story so far! Awesome Write!
