Ok this is my first fanfic so don't butcher me yet! I could use sum advice though! Thanx!!
Daine sat on her bed. She viciously attacked her unruly curls, to no avail. That only made them puffier and that's not what Daine was going for. Kitten sat near her feet trilling in contentment. A real kitten sat curled up in Daine's pillow. She had healed it the night before and it was, apparently, not leaving until it got its rest. Daine didn't mind. She found the sound of the kitten purring in its sleep comforting. One of the hunter's dogs sat next to Kit enjoying the dragons company.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Daine called. She was still trying to tame her wild hair.
Alanna and Thayet burst in the room, smiling. At the sight of a dog sitting next to a dragon, a kitten sleeping on the pillow in a room with a dog, and one exasperated wild mage massaging her hurting arm- they laughed.
"haha! You-you the dog and Kit! Ha ha!" spluttered Alanna.
"The-the hahaha! Cat and dog ha ha ha!" Thayet tired to speak, but simply draped herself onto Alanna who was, herself, doubled over in laughter. It really wasn't a thing a normal queen would do, but who or what in Totall is normal?
"Somebody's happy today." Muttered Daine. She didn't think it was at all funny. She was hungry and wanted to eat. Healing a dog's hurt paw and a kitten's broken ribs in one night had taken all of her energy, and she wanted some food.
Thayet and Alanna eventually calmed themselves enough to talk.
"I'm sorry Daine but you hair is so poofy." Said Thayet, taking the brush from the girl and doing what she could to her hair.
"The dragon sitting next to the dog and the cat on the pillow just topped it off." Added Alanna. She grabbed one of Daine's spare brushes and joined in the taming of her hair. Eventually Alanna got it combed enough to the point where Thayet could braid it down the back. It actually turned out well.
"Thanks, you guys." Said a very appreciative Daine.
"It's no problem." Alanna answered.
What is the name of the one with the fire on her head? Asked the kitten who had woken up due to the amount of laughing they had done earlier.
Daine laughed out loud at the kitten's question.
"What are you laughing at?" questioned Thayet she gave a weird glance at Alanna who shot it back at her.
"The kitten. It just asked what the one with the fire on her head was. I'm sorry Alanna, he doesn't understand that's it's your hair. It was funny." Daine chuckled before answering.
Her name is Alanna.
The kitten said his thanks before asking if he could be taken with Daine. Daine picked up Kit and then gently lifted the kitten with the other hand. The dog followed.
Thayet and Alanna didn't ask Daine if she was really going to take all three of them with her, they knew she was.
When she got into the dining hall some stared at her, but that was going to be expected. Most of the Riders had gotten used to Daine bringing animal friends along with her everywhere she went. It no longer made them stare in amazement, but some of them stared at Daine herself. Though it had only been months before when Pirates Swoop had been attacked, Daine was refreshed and looked just as good as before.
Numair saw them stare at hi student. For a moment he thought of calling them out, but decided against it-only for daine's sake. He got up briefly and waved so they knew where he was. Daine sat down next to Numair, Kit sat next to Daine while the kitten was laying down on Daine's lap. Across from daine sat Alanna and Thayet, next to Alanna was Sarge and he, Buri.
Daine smiled at her friends. None of them had died in that battle, and Daine was forever grateful to the gods that had kept her friends safe. A wildmage, a black robe mage, a queen, a female knight, a dragon, an ex-slave, and many more unusual people with different backgrounds and haunting pasts sat at one table. They laughed at joked with one another like one big happy family. Daine smiled. Only in Tortall. She thought. Only in Tortall.
Ok that was pretty short, but I promise it gets better…hopefully. Ummm… please review I could use ideas too!!!!!!!!
