Jaliana smiled. It had been so long since she had last seen the Tortallan palace… six years, maybe seven. They had scorned her then. She would be the one scorning now.
Nealan of Queenscove skidded into Keladry of Mindelan's room. She looked up.
"Neal, slow down. You really do need to learn to be patient. It helps a great deal."
"Kel, shut up. Guess what I just heard from Father! There's a new girl page!"
Kel knocked her chair over as she jumped up.
"What? Girl? Page? Neal, are you joking or serious?" Kel was so excited, she could barely hold herself up.
"I'm serious! I swear! Father heard from the king."
"Yes yes yes yes YES!" Kel shrieked happily. "Oh, gods, I have to go see what Alanna's doing!"
"Hold your pants up, Kel," Neal told her. "Wait. Be patient."
"ME be PATIENT?!? What about YOU?!?" Kel asked, hands on hips.
"Got you. Fine, go see what Alanna's doing. I don't care," Neal sniffed exaggerantly.
"NEAL COME ON!!!" Kel grabbed Neal's sleeve and hauled him out the door.
