Chapter 6.
Trent, who had been keeping a wary eye on the mortals every since they had returned from the Labyrinth, watched Redaura and Starlit negotiating the roads, and rolled his eyes.
"Mortal children." he chided as he appeared in the road and grabbed Red, yanking her out of the way of the oncoming car. He deposited her safely on the other side of the road and smiled at her. "You really should be more careful, ever read your highway code?"
Red stared at him dumbly: now he was out of the Labyrinth and in the sunlight she could see just how good-looking Trent actually was. She swallowed as he raised one eyebrow. "Highway code?" he repeated teasingly. "Look both ways before you cross?"
"I- oi! Don't make fun!" she pouted. Trent chuckled softly.
"I wasn't, I was merely advising you to read your highway code. I have to go, I actually work, and I'm going to be late."
"You work here?" Red repeated a little dumbly. Trent chuckled again.
"Of course, how else would I be able to live, hmm?"
"Well, you're - you're - well." Red stumbled over her words and Trent sighed.
"Speak later, I'm late." He touched her cheek with one finger, then disappeared from sight.
Starlit bounded up to Red, having just managed to negotiate the traffic.
"Was that that blokey from the Labyrinth?"
"Trent." Red murmured absently, still staring dreamily into the space that Trent had been in. Star sighed and grabbed her arm.
"Home you." She giggled. "After that shock you gave me I need a rest!"
