“Hey look – er, um,” Ehud trailed off, then burst forth with a frantic apology. “I’m so sorry! Um, two more people just appeared, a girl and a boy. Man, I was hoping for a dragon.”

Riure couldn’t hold back a laugh. Ehud was pretty funny. She liked him. He reminded her of Kishna, in a way.

“Do you want to go to them?”

Riure shrugged, taking one hand from his and making sure Sadiq was still there – which, of course, she was. The dog seemed distracted though. Perhaps she was seeing something she didn’t like. For the thousandth time Riure wished she could actually see through her dog’s eyes. Ah, well, best make do with what she had. “Sure,” she replied lightly. “Although…” Something seemed off. All of her nerves were suddenly tensed. She cocked her head, listening. Oh. The boy’s tone of voice. He’d been scared, or nervous. Yep, definitely had to meet them now. “Nevermind. Race you?”
