The Real Story:
Daine Saliman woke with a groan. She rolled over to find that her husband wasn't there. Another early meeting, she thought. She saw that he left a note and some tea, which was now cold. The young women sighed and picked up the note.
Daine, I have an early meeting. I left you some tea. I'll be back soon.
Love Numair
Daine sighed. He'd be back soon, so she lay back down and feel back asleep. If I have any more dreams like the one I had last night I'll never get any sleep, she thought as she drifted back in to a dreamless sleep.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'Daine!' Numair Saliman called as he walked into his rooms. He walked into their bedroom to find his still sleeping wife. He walked over and sat on the bed. 'Magelet? Magelet, get up sweet. It's almost time for lunch.'
Daine stirred gently. She rolled over and smiled when she saw Numair. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
'Good morning.' She whispered gently.
'Well hello to you too sleepy head.' He teased.
'Be quiet master mage.' She replied. 'You always sleep longer than I do.'
'Yes, but I never sleep until lunch.' He grinned 'Come on get up. I've got a surprise for you.'
Daine smiled as the mage pulled her out of bed. He kissed her hair and walked out of the room. Daine pulled on a white sleeveless dress. It was cut so the top of the dress was under her armpits (AN: basically a tube top.). She walked out of their rooms and blinked. The ocean sun was shining directly in her eyes. She smiled. She loved being in Pirates Swoop. There never seemed to be any bad weather. She smiled as she walked down to the dinner hall.
Daine stopped dead when she walked in. the smile on her face faded. She glared at her husband. A surprise is not the people that tried to kill you Numair Saliman, she thought. I'm going to kill him. Can't he ever just get me a puppy, or a new dress? Lory, Rand, and Hakkon looked just as surprised.
'Lory, Rand, Hakkon, I believe you know our wildmage, Daine.'
"Oh, Daine. You look beautiful. Even more than your mother.' Lory said.
'Thank you Lory.' Daine was blushing slightly. She had always liked Lory. She didn't have a reason not to like Lory and Rand. She still did like them; they were always sweet to her.
'You do Daine.' Rand agreed with his wife.
'Verladaine.' Hakkon nodded.
Daine smiled fakely back. Numair was going to pay for this one. She sat down at her husband's right side, away from Hakkon, who was on his other side. Every one got a Gallan specialty. Daine didn't, it had four different types of meat in it. That was four more of her friends that had died. Thinking about eating it made her feel sick. She stepped on Numair's foot. He glanced at her, and then leaned over to whisper in her ear.
'I never said it was a good surprise.' He said.
'Well I'm sorry I can't read your mind Numair Saliman.' She replied.
Numair put an arm around her. Then kiss her cheek. She was really mad at him.
