Rovia’s eyes were wide and bright and his lips curved into a slow, lazy smile. A pen pressed to the plump flesh of his lower lip and the air in the room seemed to increase by several degrees in an instant. Sweat prickled at the back of Daryl’s neck and beaded across his brow. His arm twitched in an aborted motion to wipe at it. “Nice picture,” Rovia said, lips moving around his smile. “Did you draw it yourself?” Daryl exhaled heavily through his nose. The back of his neck itched something fierce and his hackles rose. “My niece drew it. Likes you for some goddamn reason I don’t know.” It was only once the words had fallen out of him, riding on a turbulent wave of agitation, that Daryl had the clarity to realise his own misstep. If he got kicked out of the convention before the picture had been autographed, Judith would be crushed. But Rovia’s smile only widened and he ducked his head as he let out a laugh, quiet and breathy.
