Hey all nothing that belongs to Tamora Peirce belongs to me. Thanks for the review.
That night was different from the night before. This time Susan was just there not being presented or anything like that she was just another face in the crowd. There was also a squire being knighted that night. After the knighting people started dancing. Tonight Susan refused Tomys offer to dance, after all one of her friends had dated him even if she was ok with it, it would be ocward. Devin and Kathleen were dancing again Susan watched her friend. Well Kat did have a crush on Devin when we were younger but he was a jerk to us last year and she is dating Miky at home. I hope Kat isn't falling in love with him.
Tomy eventually found someone to dance with him and Susan started to talk to Alan, Thom and some of Thom's friends. Thom and his friends eventually went to talk to Numinair leaving Susan and Alan alone they talked and danced and talked some more. Susan and Alan were talking about sisters when a young woman with red-blonde hair came up behind Alan.
"My sister married a crow! I understand that people like different things but honestly a crow. I think she is an idoit."
Susan started laughing and then
"OW!" Alan yelped as his sister smacked him
"I'm an idot am I?"
"UH no my sister an idiot never."
She obviously inherited her mothers temper. Susan thought trying to keep from laughing, she was unsucceful.
Aly heard the laughing and turned to see the fifteen year old shaking with laughter.
"Alan who's your friend?"
"Aly this is Susan. Susan this is my sister Aly Crow Spymaster to Queen Dovasary of the Copper Isles."
"Nice to meet you" The girls said in unison.
"So, Susan, was my brother a jerk to you?"
"uhhhhh..." Susan was about to say 'yes' but she Alan glared at her before she had the chance."No of course not."
They talked together, completely leaving Alan out of the conversation. Finally Alan got tired of being ignored and asked Susan to dance.
"Alan, I'm talking to your sister..."
"Actually I should go find Nawat and Dove. I left Nawat has our child(a/n or was it children does any one know how many children Aly was pregnat with and their gender(s) at the end of Tricksters Queen?) and I need to make sure no one is trying to kill Dove," with a wave Aly walked off.
"Now do you want to dance."
"Yes I would love to dance."
Again she felt like she was dancing on air and that they were the only ones in the room. The strange feeling she had when she was around him was growing. She had never felt this way before... and she liked the way she felt.
Ok so once again I cut Tomy out of most of the chapter but don't worry he and Susan are going to have problems in an upcoming chapter. I have no idea of what I'm gonna do with Kat and Devinb yet. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I think I asked this already but Does any body know how long Midwinter last? If not does anyone mind if I make in 12 days?oh yeah sorry if it was short. - S.
