**oooookay, I felt like being a leetle silly when I wrote about this very short chapter, but whatcha gonna do? But if you read carefully, you will find a clue to figuring out the little mystery of Thayet's sickness . . . .**
Meet the Parents
Where are those Copper Islanders?? Kally thought as she stormed down the hall. I have got to find Rick, I'm not sure how I know he'll help me, and I just know it. Aha! Here it is! Just before Kalasin walked into the room, a voice said her name behind her. "Kalasin, Kalasin my darling! Your back!" Only one person can sound like that Kally thought, turning around. My he's as cute as they say, If Kally thought that Ricardo was gorgeous, Jethro was even more so. He was tall, had sandy blonde hair and a smile that could make any girl melt. Remember about Mother, Kally told herself, You have to find Rick, Kalasin smiled a weak smile to him and placed her arm on his as they both walked into the rooms where his mother and father were staying.
"Oh, oh, here they are!" said his father, rushing over. He was very, extremely short, and had a bald spot on the top of his head. His mother on the other hand, was tall, almost as tall as Numair, and had a full head of hair, falling down to at least her waist.
"Look at the cutest widdle couple in all of Tortall!" cried his mother, "Aren't we all dressed up and ready to be all grown up?" She came over to Kally, "Can I have a hug, my little daughter-to-be?" she asked with open arms. Kally cringed and slowly walked over to her. Jethro's mom, however, didn't hesitate, and lifted her off the ground, squeezing her very hard. "Um, Jethro, can we talk somewhere more ah, private?" asked Kally as she was put down and straightened her dress. "Ooooh, isn't that cute. The couple wants a few moments to themselves," said 'Mother'. "Yes, Yes, lets leave them alone." Agreed her father, "we'll see you later Jethro, your brother needs to speak with you about an issue, and you can also introduce Princess Kalasin to him at the same time. Perfect.
"Yes, father," was all that Jethro said and closed the door. "So, Kalasin, what did you want to talk about?" He asked. Seeing a look in his eyes, she snapped "Oh, grow up. I just wanted to get away from your parents."
"Oh," he said, walking over to the bed. "Well, I suppose they can be a little over-the-top,"
They're completely insane! Kally wanted to yell, but didn't. Instead she said, "You've a brother? I don't think I've heard of him,"
"Oh, yes. Ricardo is a bit boring, but lets not talk about him. Lets talk about me . . . Do you like my hair? Have you ever seen muscles like these?" he asked showing her his arms. They were quite impressive.
"Wow, you must do a lot of exercising and sword-practice."
"Oh, of course. I do at least 100 tuck-ups before I sleep and then 100 more in the morning."
"Wow," Kally said, How much more of this do I have to endure? "So, where is your brother? Has he been in Corus long?"
"No, I suppose he only got here yesterday."
"Well then, we should go and show him around the castle, I'm sure he'd greatly appreciate it,"
"Well . . ."
"It would be the gentlemanly thing to do."
"Well, if you put it that way, for you, my darling Kalasin, I will go see my brother and show him around the castle."
"Oh, um, why don't I come with you? I'm sure even you don't know all the places in the castle,"
"Well actually, in your absence, I was able to explore most of the castle, and I know exactly where I'm going." He said, getting a little annoyed by her persistence.
Kally sighed. She was getting nowhere with this idiot. "Alright, I'll go see to my mother,"
"Oh, how is your mother, I heard she fell sick." Was the last thing her said while he walked outside.
I need to get hold of Rick, maybe I could get a servant to give him a note? No, they'll say it was from me, argh! I'll never get to talk to him! Kally stormed to her room, slamming the door. If he could only be alone for a few minutes without Jethro there . . . .
**Well, that's the end of the silly chapter. Did you find the little clue I left for you? If you didn't, you'll just have to wait . . . . Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
