A/N: Characters and the Cassandra Palmer series all belong to Karen Chance (and all that other legal stuff).

So, this dialogue came about shortly after I quite sneakily stole some of my nephew's halloween candy and mixed with my rereading the series. Enjoy!


"Miss Palmer, what is that?"

"Nothing…"

"Do not lie to me, I can see you are holding something."

"Pritkin, back off! It's mine."

"Let me see it, Miss Palmer."

"Oh, come on, Pritkin… Pritkin, Pritkin! No, get away from me!"

"Miss Palmer…"

"Ow."

"What is this?"

"Calm down, it's Halloween!"

"Meaning?"

"Meaning what the hell kind of cruel bastard are you? It's just a little candy!"

"You are supposed to be in training."

"I'm not a freaking war mage and a little sugar to balance out the wheatgrass isn't going to ruin your precious regimen."

"Are you not supposed to be in the training salle right now?"

"Fine. I'll get changed and meet you there."

"Then what are you waiting for Miss Palmer?"

"Give it back."

"I will wait for you in the gymnasium."

"Hey!"
