And Her Name Was-?

Chapter 2

Matthew, the sandy-haired thief who is really an Ostian spy….darn him…ran straight over to the extra addition of the lord's group.

Of course, my gaze followed his bright red cape. Which reminds me, how does a thief get away with wearing red? Wouldn't that give him away? If there was any light at all he would stick out like a beacon saying "GUARDS! HERE I AM! I'M A SPY! COME ARREST ME!"

Ok, anyway, my eyes fell upon a red haired beauty. She was stellar. A small, thin figure, a killer hair style, and those eyes! Sort of crimson… Wow!

I glanced back to see if Kent was watching so I might have a chance to sneak over and seduce her. To my utmost surprise, Kent didn't seem interested in what I was doing at all. Which sort of bugged me. He always cared what I was doing! But that only got to me for a moment.

You should have seen it! It was the first time I'd ever seen Kent look even the tiniest bit disheveled. His eyes were large, his mouth was slightly open, I swear, you could see his heart beating in his chest, and he looked to be stiffer than a brick wall! …Ok, so Kent is always stiffer than a brick wall. But this time I meant his posture, not his personality.

I turned around at the sound of crisp, clear laughter to see Matthew and the red-head laughing like old friends. I turned quickly to catch Kent's reaction. He gulped.

All I needed was a chair and a cool drink and I could have watched him standing there all day! Priceless!
But, that is not what good friends and fellow knights are around for. It was time to play matchmaker! A task at which I seemed to lack a certain…talent for. But who cared if I was good at matchmaking or not? Kent wasn't going to take the initiative to talk to her on his own and with Matthew standing over there talking as if he'd known her all his life Kent wasn't likely to ever even approach her.

You know…. come to think of it, Matthew really didn't act like her "liked" her. More like he was her brother or something. Though I noticed absolutely NO family resemblance. So it wasn't like he would be ANGRY if I hooked Kent up with her…he might even help…but he was a spy…and that just didn't feel right.

The first task of my new matchmaking career was to get Kent over near her. And he was in too much of a dumb love-struck mood for my usual tactics to work. This called for something new, something fresh! A new idea…yeah…and that also meant that I'd have to restrain myself. The way he was looking, there was no way that Kent would talk to the girl if I was also interested in her. I'd just have to settle for flirting with Serra later….sigh

I had no plan. Not a single idea in my whole empty skull. And since thinking things through I've always left to Kent I was at quite a bit of a loss. And it's not really a good idea to go up to the guy you are trying to get together with the girl and say:

"Hey! I haven't got a plan for how to get you over there with that maiden your eyes have settled on, care to give me some advice?"

Yeah…that just doesn't work. So I'd have to do what I usually did, and not use my head. After all, that had worked so far! Mostly…

I walked over to my fellow knight. "Hello Kent! You look as if you've seen a ghost! What ails you my friend?"

Kent must not have heard me for a moment. Or maybe the mice in his brain had just stopped running, because he turned to me with a blank expression on his face that I'd never seen before and asked, "Uh…did you just say something, Sain?"

I laughed. Oh yeah, I had not misjudged!...Not that I ever did…when it came to Kent I pretty much had him figured out. But I was quite relieved anyway. "Kent, my dear friend, it looks as if you've finally cracked!"

"Cracked…?" He said slowly, as if he still wasn't quite listening to me. "Wait…cracked?" His head snapped towards me and he glared straight into my eyes, "What do you mean I've finally cracked?"

I laughed again. Who cared if he was anti-social? He was still horribly cute when he was angry, and this coming from another guy I would think that the ladies would be all over him. "Kent, Kent, Kent. You should just go talk to her!"

Kent blinked blankly at me for about half a second while he comprehended what I'd meant. Then slowly, a blush rose up his cheeks. "I…" He turned his head so it was facing the back wall, away from either me or the red head. "I don't know what you are talking about Sain."

I shook my head. He had to be difficult till the end, didn't he? If anyone had told me to just go talk to a girl I'd have beaten them to the punch line! But Kent…well I just didn't know why he always had to play 'the noble knight'. After all, some things SHOULDN'T be sacrificed for duty. Happiness should be one of them. I had never sacrificed it… "Come now, Kent, I see it in your eyes! You can't fool me! Come now, as your fellow knight you must know that I know you better than that! You've fallen in love, my friend! It's plain to see!"

His pupils got very very small, and he looked at me. "Seriously?"

Ok, so maybe he was cute when he was mad, but when he was scared you just wanted to throw your arms around him and call him yours! Was he seriously such a recluse that no woman had ever seen him like this? Probably. But I was a womanizer, I shouldn't be thinking about how cute another man looked, even if it was Kent, and even if his beautiful red hair was falling a bit in his eyes making him look all sexy….Ok, thoughts back in my head! All thoughts, get back up there….Ok! Much better. Now, what had he just asked me? Oh yeah, he wanted confirmation.

"Of course, my friend! You've got your love posted for all to see!"

He bit his lip and his head drooped a little, making him look like a little lost puppy. He murmured something that sounded an awful lot like, "Crap."

"What was that Kent?"

"Um…I'll…I'll be in the stables." He said and quickly pushed past me and left the area.

"Kent! Wait!" Ok, so he was playing hard to get huh? Wait….what? What in the world was I thinking? I took a deep breath. He was simply going off to try to forget the red head and reclaim his thoughts…maybe I should be doing the same…red heads were dangerous….But no. I had to help him! The stables…that wouldn't be the most romantic first meeting spot, but it would keep him trapped there long enough to force him to talk to the girl. Now, my plan called for an assistant. It called for someone close to the girl, someone who could get her down there.

Yes, my plan called, for Matthew.

A/N- HAHA! Yes, Sain is having an identity crisis. But what can you expect? This story is being written by a girl from a guy's POV! I had to mention how cute Kent is somehow…No, Sain is not gay. He's just….honest. Yeah….he'll be honest most of the story, so if you don't like that then you don't have to read. Just don't worry, the love lines are all straight. And….yeah, Kent SHOULD be with Lyn, but my dare was to get him with Leila. So Lyn had to go. Anyway, hope you liked it! R&R!
