The evening found short locks of rich brown hair splayed over soft pillows. Keladry lay sleeping in her bed when she was rudely awakened by a pounding on her door. Jetting out of bed, her hand went automatically to her gun she had tucked under her pillow. Gripping the handle, the agent crept to her door. The pounding stoped. Kel tensed. A loud bang could be heard along with a snarl.
"Open up Lump!"
Keladry suppressed a groan. Not him! What did he want from her? She would soon spend agaonizing days with him for weeks, even months, possibly a year with him! Wincing at the thought, she slipped her Yamani blank face before calmly opening the poor to an angry Joren.
"What do you want Joren," she said steely. She was asleep. Why couldn't be bother her with his petty snide remarks some other time?
Cold blue eyes looked past her as Joren forced his way into her room. Setting himself down onto a chair and looked at her bed. He smirked and opening his mouth.
"So where is he? Who is he?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Where is this man you're bedding right now. And who is it this time?"
Keladry refrained from pummeling him here and now. Her Yamani face strained and she clenched her fists. He would not get a reaction from her!
"First of all, what makes you think I'm bedding anyone and second of all, even if I was, why would you care?"
Joren shrugged and looked at her, sneering.
"You took a long time to open the door," he looked at her face and narrowed his eyes at her Yamani face he so despised, "Lump." He added.
"What? Jealous Stone Mountain?"
Keladry suddenly found herself looking up into the eyes of Joren. Dear gods I'm drowning in blue... she thought. Staring defiantly back, Keladry prepared herself.
Joren growled dangerously. His hot breath on her cheeks.
"Look here slut.... Let me get this straight... just because we have this mission together, does not mean your not expendable. I could easily take you out of action on the field and claim a stray bullet hit you... so I suggest you keep that trap of yours shut." Keladry merely stared back at him impassively. She had thought that he might do something of the like.
"That is all fine and though I do so look forward to our new 'mission together', as you so charmingly said, I do not appreciate you barging into my room in the late of night, causing trouble. So If you have nothing productive to say, please leave."
Joren sneered at her.
"We leave tomorrow at 10. Don't be late for I will not wait for you."
With that, he turned and slammed the door on his way out leaving a sighing Keladry in his wake.
"This is going to be a long... long... mission....Goddess bless." She said and went to her head. As soon as her head hit the pillows, she drifted off into sleep. If the Knight had stayed away longer, she ouwld have heard a voice by her door whisper 'So Mote it Be Lady Knight... So Mote it Be..'
Somewhere else Small hands circled a crystal ball, images of Keladry sleeping filling it. A figuire in a hooded clock chuckled/giggled. "So mote it be indeed."
