Kel gestured to two rooms side by side, You'll have to room
separately, and remember, if you're in each others' rooms, you'll have to
keep the door open. And followed the girls into their room.

So, how do you like the palace? Kel wanted to know, Luisa just
shrugged, but Raecla looked up, her eyes shining.

It's so incredibly amazing. I've been reading about Tortall for years,
and fantasizing about coming here for just as long. And then all of a sudden
I'm actually here. I mean I'm actually sitting in a room with Keladry of
Mindelan, in the Royal Palace of Corus. It's absolutely unbelievable. It's the
coolest thing that's ever happened to me. It's amazing!!

Kel laughed, Well that's good. I hope you like it here, cause it may
take Numair a while to figure out how to send you guys home.

He can take as long as he wants! Raecla exclaimed

Suddenly Luisa jumped in, You said something about Shang being
like Karate. Are there any Shang fighters here?

Kel answered, The Wildcat should be in the training
courts about now, why?
I want to see how good I am she said with a wink, Catch ya later!
And ran out of the room into the corridor.
Raecla and Kel both laughed at this, then Kel said, Hey, do you want


to come to the study group tonight?

I'd love to! Raecla answered, grinning.

The boys sat on the floor in their room, introducing Neal to the
intricacies of calcio and calzoni.

These are really good! Neal said, his mouth full.


The other guys laughed and handed him another one. When they
were done, Marco caught Neal staring at his face. He reached up to touch
his cheek and winced. Neal leaned over to put his palm to Marco's cheek,
his fingers itching to apply healing magic. Marco leaned away, glaring.

Basta cosí! What're you doing? Marco said angrily. Neal sighed in
exasperation, Just trying to get rid of that awful bruise for you. I've been
trained as a healer. You know, with magic. Marco still looked suspicious,

No, really, it's all right he said stubbornly.

Gods! Not another Stump! Why do I always have to be surrounded by
warrior stoics? It'll only take a second! with that he touched his hand to
Marco's face and healed the bruises almost instantly.

Marco pulled away again, and touched his cheek, which didn't hurt
anymore. he said gruffly and turned to go check out the dressing
room/lavatory thing.

You guys'll really need some normal clothes, Neal announced, and
when they burst out laughing, added, I mean like the rest of us. Rob and
Marco looked apprehensive. Rob glanced down at Neal's legs and said,

Man, I'm not wearing tights! Marco started giggling, Neal scowled at their
attack on his wardrobe, then said hotly, They're not tights, they're hose. And
we can get you breeches, but you guys look like freaks. Especially with those
shoes.

They gave each other wry looks, and Marco said that he'd just stay in
the room. World breaching was hard work, but would they pick up his stuff
for him?

Neal answered, But be sure to come to the study group
tonight.
