Domitan of Masbolle hung up his practice sword. After practicing for an hour he was covered head to toe in dust.

"Well, well, well," drawled a highly sarcastic voice from behind him. "What have we here? My dear Domitan you must get cleaned up – we wouldn't want any of the court ladies to see you in the sweaty dusty state would we? They might realize that you aren't the god that you seem to be."

"Shut it, Meathead," Dom replied walking past his cousin, Sir Nealan of Queenscove. His cousin followed him.

"Now that wasn't very nice was it?" Neal shouted in mock hurt, his emerald eyes sparkling.

"Oh dear, I see Sir Meathead has gotten away and started terrorizing unlucky individuals. We can't have that now can we?" unnoticed by the other two, Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan had snuck up behind them. Dom grinned. "And my dear Domitan. Are you sick? Because that insult was very slack – honestly I would expect more of you!"

Neal smirked at his cousin. "Whats wrong cousin? All dry up and in the glooms?"

The only reply he got was a half-hearted glare. "Not so fast, Nealan. Yuki is wanting a chat – and going by the last time I saw her, she wasn't looking too happy."

Dom watched in satisfaction as the news Kel brought caused Neal to go as white as a sheet. "Meathead – you wouldn't happen to know why would you?" Dom grinned evilly at Neal.

"Dom, I am family – you have to save me!" Neal told him desperately as Kel towed Neal away. "Not a chance" he replied as he listened to Neal's desperately shouted pleas.

At the edge of the training grounds Kel looked back at Dom grinning. "I'll see you later after I've dealt with him," she said as she stabbed Neal lightly, causing him to yelp and start moving again.

Dom chuckled at Neal's antics and then went back to watching them walk away. Well, mostly Kel. He sighed.

As Neal looked back, he saw his cousins look and opened his eyes in shock. Looking from Kel to Dom and back again. An evil grin spread across his face. Well, well, well, Neal thought, my cousin Dom has fallen for my best friend. How interesting.

OK, so this didn't start very well - it kind of sounds better when you are writing it! lol. I might continue this but if I can't come with a good plot line then I won't continue it. Don't have nuch time at the moment - major project due on Monday and its Friday and I haven't started it - yeah, I know - stupid me
