Ching -a-ling

Veil looks up from her book and sees Sunny walking her clinic followed by a young boy. Why did he have a young boy with him? A colt to be exact! This was a first since he never had a colt in training before.

"Regent," She greets standing up from her desk. It was a fact her and Sunny were seeing each other but she didn't know this young boy so she couldn't blow this huge secret of theirs. It was definitely a huge secret because it was practically illegal to a serious relationship in the badlands. Serious relationships was a threat to the baron. All the clippers needed to focus on him and him alone.

"I need to talk to you in private," Sunny says in an authoritative voice.

"Uhm..sure, we can go into my office," Veil answers before she walks away to her office. Something was definitely wrong. Why would he come here in the middle of the day just for a chat?

"Don't touch anything," Sunny warns M.K as he follows after Veil to her office.

"Okay," M.K mumbles and begins to stroll around Veil clinic. He begins to notice how many books she had around. Could she read?

Meanwhile

Veil and Sunny stood face to face in her office not saying anything until Sunny spoke. "What do you know about the keeper?"

Veil was surprise. No one other than her family ever asked about the keeper. How did Sunny know about her being involved with the keeper?

"I know he's a man alike the river king. If barons want something special they-"

"That's not what I mean Veil,"Sunny interrupts her. He didn't mean to do it to be rude but she knew that wasn't what he was getting at.

"I guess someone mentioned it to the baron huh?" Veil questions and Sunny nods. She sighs looking away from him. "My family used to take me there when I was younger and believe me the strangest things happened there."

"Like what?"

"Can you read?" M.K voices breaking up their conversation. Sunny looks over to his colt agitated. Couldn't he wait till they were finished?

"Yes, my parents taught me," Veil answers enjoying Sunny's annoyed face.

"And those things, did you make them?"

"Get out," Sunny yells to M.K who hesitantly drops what he wanted to ask her for and walks away.

Veil chuckles. "He's stubborn just like you."

"The baron will stop at nothing to meet the keeper. He knows you know something and he won't stop trying to find out what that is until you confess. Be careful with what you decide but I'll try to find a way out of this."

"You know you can't go against his orders," She reminds him resting her gentle hand on his shoulder. She never wanted him to have to choose between her and the baron.

"He knows about us, that's why we need to be careful about this."

"Then I'll have a chat with the baron myself," Veil says which takes Sunny by surprise.

What was she thinking?

Sorry it's short, school made me busy and I wanted to just post something since it's been a while.
