The boys stared with wide eyes at the two bare women. One of them elbowed another. "They're nothing like what you described."
Another one sniggered. "Yeah, either you were lying or your sweetheart's [i]really[/i] ugly."
"Can't you argue about this somewhere else?" snapped Buri. The boys fled instantly, and she sighed. "I'm sorry, Kel."
"It's not your fault, you said yourself that you're not a Seer."
"It's going to be all over Corus by the end of the week."
Kel shrugged. "I'm used to the rumours. What does it matter if there's one with some truth to it?"
Buri smiled reluctantly. "I suppose. You're so sensible."
"As are you."
Buri started to laugh again. "Gods, I think we completely destroyed their innocence."
Kel smiled too. "They'll be long gone by now, with the way you frightened them…we might as well continue."
