at school! Heh, I love beating the system! Anyway, no chit-chat today..I
can't think of any! On with the story..
***********
A bunch of black braids with beads embedded in them met Devin's eyes as she groggily awoke. The braids whipped around as she emitted a small groan and a look of great relief washed over Jack's features as he stood up to greet his daughter. She stretched her arms lightly, trying to see if anything was broken.
"Morning love," Jack said, smiling slightly. He brought over a cup of water, which she took graciously. Devin seemed to want to say something, but before she could open her mouth, there was a knock on the door. As it opened, she saw the frame of Mr. Turner enter the room. He nodded to Jack and then sat down in a chair at the foot of the bunk Devin was sitting up in.
"I'm glad to see you're awake," he said. "We were getting worried for a second." The words Devin tried to form finally came out.
"How long was I unconscious?"
"About two days," Jack said without hesitation. "You must've been pretty tired," he added, giving a soft chuckle. Devin grinned appreciatively, but she made no motion to speak on the matter more. She was still too tired.
"Well," Jack said, business-like as usual, "I must be going to check on the crew and make sure we're headed in the right direction." He made for the door, and Will stood up.
"I'll go up with you," he said. He looked to Devin. "I'll send Will down to check on you later. You should go back to sleep, but if you're not up in an hour, we'll wake you up." Devin nodded and settled back down as the door closed again.

She had obviously not been asleep for very long, because she received no shock as she woke again. Just as last time, someone was sitting in the room, but it wasn't Jack, it was Master Will. She sat up quickly and stared at him.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. Will smiled at her defensive questioning.
"My father sent me down," he replied calmly. "He was afraid you'd black out or something, so he asked me to check on you."
"That was a smart move," she said, ice edging her voice. "You could've poisoned me, killed me if you wished." Will laughed.
"You must be more out of sorts than I thought. Here, have a drink." He handed the cup of water to her. Devin took it, but did not drink. "You really should have some. After what you've been through, you need it."
"Right, like I'm going to trust you," she said, "the person I beat in a fencing bout who has done nothing but hated me for it since. You must be more out of sorts than I am if you think I'm going to drink anything you have touched!" Just then, Jack entered, checking up on his daughter yet again.
"What's this?" Jack looked to the two of them, and turned around, trying to hide a grin. Unfortunately, Devin saw it.
"What?" Jack turned around, motioning for her not to get offended by it.
"Nothing, nothing," he said, the grin still on his lips. He turned around again, and walked out of the room. Without speaking, Will did the same. Devin watched their backs for a moment, looked at the cup with disgust and drained the entire thing.
