"So," Sandry said tracing the beautiful embroidery on her dress "what
do you guys do around here?" she and Faleron were sitting on her bed and
Sandry was quite bored.
"Well, um, we do a lot of things but I don't think most of them would interest a lady like you." Said Faleron with a smile
Sandry narrowed her eyes "A lady like me? And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Well you are a duchess aren't you?" he asked slightly puzzled
Sandry sighed, "Well no not really, my uncle is the duke…I'm not exactly sure what that makes me but what does that have to do with anything? I'm still human you know."
"Oh never mind." He shifted a little closer to Sandry who didn't notice or didn't care "We have other things that might interest you." His tone was suggestive but Sandry was only half listening
She turned towards him "And what would those-" she broke off mid sentence and her blue eyes went wide "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" she shrieked leaping off the bed and out of Faleron's reach, who was tipped over and confused
"I thought-" he began
"You thought what?" Sandry snapped "That just because you nice to me for an hour I'd sleep with you? Are you that deranged?! I may be from a different place but I'm not a fucking whore!"
*Damn,* thought Faleron *How did she get inside my mind? No other girl has found out my brilliant plan, am I slipping?* "Sandry," he took a step towards her
"No! Don't come near me!" she flew to the door and before she opened it she whipped around "Ever."
She was storming down the hall when Neal saw her "Sandry?" he asked, sincerely concerned "What's wrong?"
She gave him a fatal look "Your 'friend' had me mistaken for a call girl." Neal looked stunned "If he isn't dead by morning you'll know I was already taken in for attempted murder."
"Well Faleron does have the tendency to think he an irresistible god."
"Bastard."
Neal smiled "If you were a call girl Faleron wouldn't be able to afford you." He turned very red when he realized what he had just said
Sandry laughed "I'll take that as a complement. I'm glad there's one decent guy around here." Neal blushed more if possible "First that idiot Briar…" she trailed off with a growl "and now this! What's wrong with guys anyway?"
"Hey I don't think we're all that bad!" Neal said pretending to be hurt
"Oh you all are." Sandry smirked there was a comfortable pause when Sandry suddenly said "Listen to me!" she shook her head in disbelief "Here I am complaining to you about gods know what and I don't even know you name. How rude of me."
"Neal of Queenscove." Said Neal politely
"Well Sir Neal, I hope I remember that. I'm terrible with names you see. In fact I already forgot your pervert friends' name."
"Oh you mean Fa-"
Sandry held up her hand "I don't want to remember it. Its much nicer to just think of him as 'the pervert' putting a name to the person just takes all the fun away." She had a devilish look in her eyes Neal was beginning to feel sorry for Faleron already.
"I hope I never get you mad." Neal said truthfully "Who knows what'd happen to me!"
"Oh something like this," She smirked as she called the tapestry conveniently close to Neal she then had it wrap around him so he couldn't move or talk. Sandry laughed and laughed as his eyes practically came out of their sockets and then narrowed into slits.
Sandry was still laughing as she walked down the hall away from Neal, feeling much better, she couldn't hear his muffled protests. It wasn't until he fell over with an echoing 'bam!' that Sandry released him from the fabric.
"Hey you duchess!" Neal called after her "I could have died!!"
"Oh poor baby!" she called back in a high pitched voice "Did the mean old tapestry hurt you?"
"That tapestry is VISIOUS!" he screamed to the fleeting girl who was giggling like crazy. Two professors who were walking the halls heard this statement and were looking at Neal like he had some sort of mental disease. Neal turned to them "Stay away from this tapestry! It almost killed me!" he warned them "Its demonic I'm telling you!"
The professors hurried by as far from the boy as possible both muttering something about head spells and a poor deranged child.
"I'm not deranged! Just ask Lady Sandry she knows about the attack!!"
Now the two professors ran down the hall and turned the nearest corner. Neal leaned against the wall and slid down to a sitting position. "I'm not crazy. I'm a knight, knights are not crazy. Am I right my friend?" he asked the marble statue across the hall. He then sat in silence for a while "Oh sure I'm not crazy, I'm just talking to inanimate objects…. and myself. Great. Now I'm lovesick and crazy." He rubbed his face in his hands and looked around. The 'vicious' tapestry was right to the left of him. He jumped up and ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction.

At dinner the mages joined the four knights at their table opposed to the kings. Tris had insisted on this.
"I just love Tortall!" Tris said with a sigh and a glance in Neal's direction "It's so…different."
Daja looked much less pleased "That's one word for it."
Faleron smiled at her "Like it here?"
Daja glared "What's there to like?"
"I'll take you to the blacksmith shop tomorrow Daja." Kel said, diverting Daja's attention from the 'pervert'.
She smiled now "Thanks Kel."
Neal wasn't saying or eating anything, just playing with his food and sighing now and then. Kel smiled at him "Thinking about Sandry, Neal?"
"She doesn't like me." He said, stabbing at a roll
"She doesn't like anyone." Said Faleron not looking away from Daja.
"That doesn't sound like Sandry." Said Daja frowning
"Oh yes it does." Briar shot
"You have no say in this thief-boy." Tris snapped
"Where is Sandry anyways?" inquired Kel. Everyone at the table looked around, Sandry was nowhere to be found.
'Sandry? Where are you?' asked both Tris and Daja
'Leave me alone right now please.' Said Sandry
'What's wrong?' Tris asked, concerned now
'Are you ok?' asked Daja
'I said LEAVE ME ALONE!' And she shut herself off to them
A/N- Ok lemme point out two things for you
Tris is fat. I'm sorry but I didn't write the COM books. That's our dear friend Tamora Pierce. She says Tris is fat, so Tris is fat. This I cannot control.
