Disclaimer: I don't own Orphen
___________________________________
A fire burned brightly in the center of the camp. Cleo, Majic, Orphen, and Kevin sat around the fire eating a stew that Kevin made as a thank you to them for the company.
Orphen: This is really good.
Majic: Yes It is the best stew I have had in a while.
Kevin: Thank you.
Cleo: It really is good.
Kevin: Thanx.
Orphen: So I was wondering, Where did you learn sorcery? I mean, you don't have the Tower of Fang's medallion on.
Kevin: I learned it from a Master Sorcerer.
Orphen: I see. You were an apprentice.
Kevin: Yes.
Majic: I am an apprentice right now.
Kevin: Orphen seems like a good teacher.
Majic: He is, but the ciriculum involves stuff like carrying his luggage, and finding lodging.
Kevin: My master did that too. You'll be thankful for it later.
Orphen: I tried telling him that.
Kevin: (laughs) Well you should trust your master Majic.
Majic: You dont know master well enough yet.
Kevin: (laughing again) No, that I dont.
Orphen: So where are you going to Kevin?
Kevin: I was heading to Malori.
Majic: Wow. So were we. Want to come along?
Kevin: Sure. If Orphen doesn't mind.
Orphen: On one condition, Help me teach Majic.
Kevin: Sure. Sounds like fun.
Orphen: Do you have any gear?
Kevin: yeah. Trigga, here boy.
A black horse gallops up beside Kevin with large saddle bags.
Majic: Cool. You have your own horse.
Kevin: Yeah. I got him outta a stable fire a few years ago. I saved the whole stable and the owners gave him to me as a gift.
Orphen: Nice trade. He seems loyal.
Kevin: yeah, but when it comes to food he's pretty picky.
Majic: what will he eat?
Kevin: Friut only.
Majic: Only fruit?
Kevin: well that and a few other things. Like carrots and potatoes.
Orphen: I think it is time we turned in. We have a long walk tommorrow.
Kevin: I agree.
Majic: I'll put the fire out.
Kevin: I am gonna go up the lake to brush my teeth and wash abit.
Cleo: I am gonna go to get some water for tommorow.
Everyone went their own way. Orphen straight to his knapsack. Majic to trying a water spell. Kevin and Cleo to the river. At the river Kevin fishes his toothbrush and some toothpaste out of Trigga's saddle bags. He walks to the edge of the river and sits down. Cleo walks up as he begins to brush his teeth.
Cleo: Can I ask you for a favor?
Kevin: What? Need help carrying the water?
Cleo: No. I can handle it. I was wondering if you could give me some cooking lessons. That is actually the whole reason I am with Orphen and Majic. I want to learn to cook from restaurants and taverns all over the world.
Kevin: Do not take me as a fool. I know you have more reason than that. I saw how dissapointed you were when Orphen said he was not your boyfriend. You like him don't you?
Cleo: (blushing) I don't know why But I feel I can tell you. Yes, I think I might even love him. If so, God help me. He only sees me as an annoying brat.
Kevin: I am far from God, But I will help you. I think the best way to get to Orphen would be to become strong. Not independent. Orphen seems to like playing the protector. But someone who can take care of themselves. Also a little less spoilt. I am sorry but you seem like a girl that could have anything when they were young. A girl from a rich family.
Cleo: You are pretty good at reading people. So you will help me attract Orphen?
Kevin: Sure. The whole thing sounds fun. Plus, I think it best if Orphen found a companion. Someone he can talk to. Instead of taking his trouble out on poor majic.
Cleo: I agree there. He works Majic to the bone. But I thought you said your master did the same?
Kevin: I did not say anything about Orphen easing up on Majic work wise. I just don't think Orphen should be so rough with Majic at this time. Majic is fragile right now. He must become strong to be a sorcerer but this takes time. And encouragement.
Cleo: So you will help me and Majic right.
Kevin: It would be my pleasure.
Cleo: ( hugging him tightly) Thank you..
Kevin: It is nothing. Like I said sounds like fun.
