Kendra thought quickly, "I-I-I knew you were in love with me, so in case you, you know...died. I figured I'd give you your last wish." she smirked, but she stuttered to begin with and Murtagh noticed that and his smirk widened.

"You sure Kendra?" he asked, coming closer, she backed up and into the door.

"Yes." Kendra said, eyes fiery. Murtagh chuckled and put a hand on either side of her face.

"Really? Because I think it was the opposite, I think you're in love with me." he smirked again and got very close. Their nose tips were touching. lips almost touching. Kendra's eyes widened and she stopped breathing, much to Murtagh's amusement. He almost touched his lips to hers.

"Oh, Also Kendra-" Ajihad, Arya, Nasuda, and Orik were coming around the corner, but Ajihad had stopped talking when he saw the two, and stared in amusement. Murtagh jumped about 5 feet back. Both started blushing brightly.

"It-it Tha-that...." Kendra started but then just decided to go with, "Murtagh's fault!" and pointed at him. He narrowed his eyes at her and they started having a whispering argument.

"How is this my fault?!" Murtagh whispered-yelled.

"If you didn't have to be such a jerkish tease!" Kendra whisper-yelled back.

"Oh! That doesn't-" Murtagh started, but Eragon, Saphira, and Ice came back then.

Eragon. seeing his friends still red faces, asked them about it, "Hey, you two. What's wrong? You two seem a little red." concern was lacing his voice. This caused both of them to get even redder and the others watching to snicker.

"I'm going to go check out my room now." Kendra said, opening the door to her room.

"Yes, because you were obviously to 'busy' to check out your room beforehand." Orik smirked. Murtagh glared at him and Kendra just turned red again and quickly shut the door. Murtagh stood there awkwardly.

"Um...I'm going to head to bed now..." he said, backing up quickly.

"Wait a moment Murtagh." Ajihad said, a slight smile on his face. Murtagh groaned quietly and paused. Eragon was still confused and Ice had learned from Kendra's mind and was telling Saphira now, as you could tell from what sounded like giggles coming from the two.

"What is it that happened?" Eragon asked trying to catch up.

"It seemed like Murtagh had sweet, innocent, little Kendra pinned to the door." Arya explained. Eragon looked at Murtagh with wide eyes.

"I resent that little part!" came a shout from inside, "Um....I mean....Kendra's asleep....Snore...." The others snickered. while Murtagh glared at the door.

"Come on out Kendra!" Ajihad called.

"...Snore...Snore...." came the muffled reply.

"If you don't come out, we'll come in!" Orik threatened. Kendra was out in about 4 seconds.

"If you don't mind, I'm attempting to get my beauty rest..." she stated. Glaring at the group.

"I'm sure Murtagh thinks your beautiful enough." Orik snickered again. Murtagh grew red and Kendra glared, attempting to hide the light blush on her cheeks.

"Okay, let us get some sleep...after you two tell us what happened." Nasuda smirked slightly.

"Nothing!" both blurted quickly. The others either snickered or gave them skeptical looks.

"Hey! If you want me to be well rested so I can show you the extent of my magic, then I must sleep now." Kendra thought up off the top of her head.

"Fine....but you two.....we will discuss this tomorrow." Ajihad was smiling fully now. Kendra blushed, nodded, and went back into her room, while Murtagh backed up even quicker than before, nodding, both gone after only a few seconds. The others all shared glances, either smirking or smiling.

"Knew somethin' was goin' on between 'em..." Orik muttered mostly to himself, but the others nodded in agreement. After that everyone headed to their rooms, or in Ice and Saphira's case, the dragon hold.
