Disclaimer: Look in the first chapter! Sinew is still my character.

Confide

"So you're the girl that was always singing in the garden," Sinew smiled.

"Sure am, and I would think that a prince would remember someone off the bat," Vegeta smirked at her.

"Why would I want to remember an aggravating girl that always distracted me from my Court procedures?"

"Because, Vegeta, you were not distracted, you wanted to come and watch me in the garden. And if it was so distracting than why did you always watch?" For a moment Vegeta was thinking.

"I wanted to see how you common lot spent your days," He said smartly.

"Liar," she said, " I know you wished that once, just once, you could have come down in the garden and played with me."

"And how do you know what I wished?" She smirked.

"You really have forgotten haven't you?"

"Oh? What have I forgotten?"

"When I was first in your presence I was brought to your royal court and your father gave me recognition as a Starling Child."

"You're the Starling Child?!?!?!" Vegeta asked amazed.

"In the flesh."

"And here I thought you were just some aggravating girl, not someone who could read minds," he said slyly.

"Sure, whatever," there was a long silence and then Sinew spoke again.

"Vegeta?"

"What?"

"I know that emotion is not your best quality, but I could always tell when you were sad. It didn't matter how much you looked like nothing was wrong."

"Woman leave," he said pointing to the door behind her.

"I refuse."

"What did you say?!"

"Just what you heard!" She said walking up to him and getting in his face.

"Vegeta I know for a fact that you can hold back your feelings and look past them, but you'll always be that same little boy, staring off his balcony looking to run away from his feelings!" Sinew looked into his eyes as he looked into hers. The silence was defining as Sinew knew she had broken through to Vegeta. She then turned around and walked toward the door.

"Wait," Vegeta said. Sinew turned around and looked at him.

"When I'd see you outside… I did want to go down and play. For once in my life, to feel and act like a real child. Not a prince with only his pride and principles holding him in the castle," Sinew stared at him. He bowed his head slightly and looked the other way reverting his eyes from hers. She slowly walked back up to him. Taking her ungloved hands she put both of them on Vegeta's face and brought it up so she could look him straight in the eyes.

"It's over now, don't worry about it anymore," she ran both her thumbs over his cheeks and looked at him one last time before leaving the room. When she left, it suddenly hit Vegeta that he had just expressed emotion.

"What the hell is happening to me? Damn girl, playing with my mind!" He growled,

" Confiding in her was probably one of the stupidest things I have ever done!"
