And another six! Six Sentence Sunday is good fun – register at the website any time between Wednesday and Saturday each week then on Sunday choose a published work or WIP, and post 6 sentences from it. Then romp around the world reading and commenting to everyone elses.
As per usual – 6 from A Fierce Reaping, a story set in Yr Hen Gogledd – the Old North – during a period when something very like Welsh was spoken from the Firth of Forth to the Tamar. Cynfal’s conversation with Moried is broken up by their respective troop leaders.
Moried shot him a smug and knowing smile, eyes flicking past Cynfal’s shoulder, before returning to his lord. Cynfal blew his cheeks out in exasperation, as much at himself as Moried, then turned to find Cynon getting to his feet. He too was looking across the room to Gwlygad and Aneurin, who had just entered with the harper, Gwion, at their heels.
He was taller than Cynfal had expected, broad shouldered, with a considerable flush brightening his pale face.
“There you are, you little bastard,” Cynon growled. “Cynfal, you can go – I want a word with my cousin in private.”

Intriguing six…great way to make me want to know what is going on between cousins 🙂
I bet Cynon doesn’t give a (BLANK) that Gwion wants a word with his cousin. There’s some tension going on here between them. Love the “little bastard.” ha!!
What is going on here? Very interesting. Lots of simmering tension.
Lots of great tension, nice. Also, I really like the names you selected.
I agree with everybody. There is a lot of tension here!
Yep, definitely getting interesting!
Interesting six, look forward to reading more. BTW you have the word ‘was’ twice in the 3rd sentence!
Ooooh. Opening up a whole new dimension in this story. I love your writing, and your characters! I really want to read this in its entirety. 😀
Cynon does not sound happy, and I wouldn’t want him angry at me! Looking forward to reading this story start to finish. Very interested men.
Uh oh. Sounds like a fight’s brewing. Very intense scene, Elin! Great six!!
Definitely sounds like the game is about to change. Love these guys!
Yes, something big is about to happen. A tense six! 🙂
Intense and emotion filled. Nice job!
Oh I like this! You always say something about at least one of the characters that makes me want to know what’s gonna happen next, right away!
Lots of interpersonal dynamics here. You might want to make sure the referent of “He” at the beginning of the second paragraph is clear.
Oooh, intriguing six. Nice. 🙂
Nice six!! Very curious about what happens next.
Sounds like trouble for the cousin. Wonder what Cynon’s going to say to him? Love how you wrote “Cyfal blew his cheeks out in exasperation” Good six Elin!
I love the turn this took. Great sudden tension. Can’t wait to see what Cynon has to say.
very tense and the little bastard remark only adds to it
A lot of history between all these men apparently, will be very interesting to see what happens next! Great six!
It’s never good when someone says, “I want a word with you.” Great characters and tension, Elin!!
Oh, man, this doesn’t sound good for Gwion. Fun six, Elin. 🙂
