@this-is-not-an-alien,

Lol! Actually, I was thinking Ehud would win, but I’m good with whatever!! He’s definitely more equipped. 😛 I’ll try to write this next post so it won’t matter who won. 😉

———————————————————————

Riure felt Sadiq slow beneath her fingers and skidded to a quick halt, really hoping she didn’t fall over again. That had been embarrassing enough. Speaking of that, though, where was the male person with the insanely small hands after all? After Ehud had come along she’d almost forgotten about him. She tried to catch her breath as laughter exploded from her lungs.

Sadiq stiffened as feet flew past Riure, swift and sure. He’s not going to stop in time, Riure thought, listening intently as the footsteps frantically slowed. There was a thud and a grunt, but it didn’t sound like anyone was hurt or had fallen over. Riure laughed harder. Ha! She wasn’t the only one who struggled with that!

Ehud grabbed her hands and threw them into the air. “You won!” he cried enthusiastically. Riure could tell he was breathless from laughter, as she was. “Heh, you’re pretty fast, erhm… sorry?”

Riure tried to control her giggles. Why in the world was she laughing so hard? She had no idea, and didn’t care. Kening had made her that way, and she was good with it.

“This is-” definitely struggling with self-control. Riure laughed harder. “This is Riure,” Ehud managed. He bumped her shoulder playfully and Riure lightly punched him. She was pretty sure she hit his shoulder, but maybe she hit a bit lower, on his upper arm. Whoops. She had to remember that he was taller than her. “And I’m Ehud!” Ehud finished.

Oh. Introductions. Riure stopped mid laugh, positive that her face was red. Maybe she looked good with rosy cheeks, or maybe it made her look ridiculous. She honestly had no idea. People had described what she looked like before, but they never said anything bad so she wasn’t exactly sure what she looked like. Maybe like a monkey. She burst out in laughter and leaned against Sadiq, who was still tense.

“I’m so sorry,” Riure gasped. “Having some… problems here…” she dug a knuckle into her side, trying to keep a stich from growing in her side. “Sit,” she murmured, and Sadiq slowly lowered herself onto the ground, keeping Riure’s  hand on her silky head.

“Uh,” someone (whoever, I don’t have a specific person in mind) said. “Does that normally happen?”

“What?” Riure asked.

Ehud’s mirth had vanished. He put a hand on her shoulder and gently turned her around so she faced away from where she assumed the newcomers were. “Erhm, a cave, with lots of mirrors and creepy letters.”

“Ok, weird… What do you think, Sadiq? Go or stay?”

Sadiq stayed sitting and leaned backward against Riure’s legs. Her answer was clear. “Ehud?”
