"Lady Alanna?"
The violet eyed shaman looked to the young girl and nodded slightly.
"There's a girl: Keladry of Mindelan. She will be joining you as a page."
Kai nodded her understanding and grinned wryly.
"I've met her when I was young. Those Yamanis train very hard; I heard that her mother saved some sacred swords..."
Kai used up her words per a conversation and went back to her quiet state. After all, you don't have to take back what is unsaid. After Alanna asked a few questions, and Kai carefully answered them, Alanna winked at Kai and said,
"I wasn't here."
Kai nodded and the Lioness was off. Kai was found by Dom, staring in the direction that the Lioness had gone off to. Hearing footsteps, Kai waited until they slowed. In a swift movement, she pinned him to the ground and smirked at him.
Dom pouted but Kai could feel his muscles tighten, and him getting ready to turn the tables. Dom flipped Kai over and was surprised that it was so easy so he was suspicious. Feeling no movement, he forgot and started tickling her.
"Well then, Dragon, aren't you going to beg for mercy?"
Kai sighed and said, "If you could only look at where by knee is."
Dom narrowed his eyes at Kai and looked down. His, eyes widening, he quickly scrambled off her and gave her puppy dog eyes. (A/N: awwwwww cute puppy ::pats Dom on the dead::)
Kai strode silently down the hall of the palace. Suddenly, the door to Lord Wyldon's office opened and a stocky girl with dreamy, long-lashed hazel eyes and light brown hair stepped out along with a man who looked very much like the girl. Kai thought for a moment, and went into Lord Wyldon's office when the girl and the man disappeared into another room across the hall.
With cat-like grace, Kai stepped into the office.
"My Lord Wyldon."
"Shinkaiyana,"
"I presume I will be on probation as well?"
The weary man nodded.
"No good having everyone suspicious."
Kai nodded once curtly, bowed to the training master, and left the room. Seeing Keladry outside the door of her room, Kai jogged up to the girl.
"Hello Kel."
Startled, the stocky girl looked at Kai and studied her face. Finally breaking into a smile, she asked,
"Kai?"
Kai nodded and the corner of her lips twitched upwards.
"I was thinking, I don't want the boys to think I'm ashamed of being a girl. They've already trashed my rooms. They've most likely trashed yours also. How about, we wear dresses?
Kel grinned and nodded. Both girls separated to change.
Knocking on Kai's door, Kel was dressed in a yellow linen shift and a fawn- brown dress. Opening the door, Kai was dressing two kimonos; one over the other. The one underneath was decorated with red, orange and yellow flames on the sleeves and hem. The one on top was black with a large dragon coiled on back. She wore a deep red obi.
Just in time, a bell overhead clanged three times.
"You were right, they did trash my room. Salma told me that she would take care of it." Kel said, referring to the palace servant. "Well, we better join the boys."
Wyldon came down the hall and boys joined him as he passed. Soon, most of the old pages were standing behind Lord Wyldon while the new pages including Kel and Kai, were standing across from them. They numbered 6 in all.
