B/w, whoeva is telling me to keep D/N or destroy them, I've written the story already. I know the ending!
On with my daily installment.
Chapter 3; Oh dear! (well, I've just had P.E. I'm not feeling particularly creative.)
Numair and Daine giggled over their private joke. All the courtiers were staring, but they were too wrapped up in one another to care.
Alanna came over. "What, in the Goddess' name, is Varice doing in Corus?"
Daine snorted. Numair looked at her, slightly teasing.
"You accused me of being jealous when Kaddar was coming. Why should it be any different for Varice?"
"Because I never slept with Kaddar!"
"Is that what this is about? My past relationship with Varice?"
"Numair, I..."
"Listen, if you can't deal with the past, I'm not sure we should be betrothed at all."
"Numair! Don't go," Daine called after him, but he had already disappeared.

Word had reached Varice that Numair and Daine had fallen out. Her plan was to widen the rift between them. Her first step was to discover the cause of the argument. She went to Daine.
"Where's Numair? I would like to catch up on some news of old friends."
"I don't know. Try the library."
Varice made as if to leave, but had no intention of moving. "Word has it that you two have had a lover's spat."
Daine blushed. "Word has it that some people need their ears tested."
"Not me, however. Can I help, in any way?"
"No!" Daine said sharply, turning on her heel and leaving the blonde woman.
"Thank you, Daine. You've given me an idea. Jealousy didn't seem to be your thing. I see I was wrong." Varice headed to the library, a smirk on her face.

Hee hee. I luv my life. What does Varice have in mind? That's a misleading question. Forget I typed it.
