"What are you doing, Squire?"

Kel half-spun from her crouch by the pond. "Nothing," she whipped her hand behind her. "What about you?"

"I was coming to tell you we're leaving, but I see you're busy staring at a frog," Lerant's eyebrows raised under his bangs. "Finally cracked under the pressure?"

"No!" she said, flushing. "It's… for a dare. Yes! It's going in Dom's bedroll."

"Sure," Lerant rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

"If you want a kiss so bad, you could ask me. I'm somewhat less slimy than your current sweetheart," he added, smirking as she sputtered incoherently.
