Apparently my muses have decided that this is not to be a one shot thing. And so, for your reading pleasure, two more conversations between Evin and Miri.
***********************************************************************
"That's a lovely red mark on your face, Evin."
"Isn't it though? A gift from Lady Gemma."
"So I see. And, oh, is that a black eye I see forming?
"Perhaps."
"Courtesy also of the Lady Gemma?"
"Her paperweight actually."
"Hmm, nasty, though no more than you deserve."
"I'm hurt Miri; can't you ever be sympathetic to my side?"
"It's not in my nature. Isn't this the fourth-"
"Fifth."
"My mistake. Are you planning on seeing a healer?"
"Probably."
"What story are you going to use?"
"One that is a time honoured palace tradition."
"Which one?"
"I fell down."
*********************************************************************
This conversation isn't as light as the last two but I think it still stays true to the characters.
"You know what I like best about sitting a watch with you?"
"Gazing at my beautiful fire-lit profile?"
"Good guess, but no."
"Sorry, can't guess then."
"It's nice to be able to sit with someone who doesn't want to sleep with me. It's like every male believes the myth that because a girl wears breeches, she's easy."
"Men in our Rider group?"
"Well-"
"Who? I'll speak to them about it."
"No, don't bother Evin; it's just the curse all Rider women have to bear."
"Oh. Miri-, I know that sometimes I flirt with you-, you know I don't mean anything by it."
"I know."

So, what do you think? Hit the review button below and tell me. There will probably be more conversations coming; they're fun to write and I have a few more ideas bouncing around in my head. Until then, au revoir!
