They all headed off to dinner. Once they had arrived the new and old pages quickly got in line, anxious to be served and eat.

Once Sam and Adrienne were sitting down across from each other he motioned for her to rise again. She looked confused but did as she was told as she saw the rest of the people around her do the same. She looked around for the reason for why they stood and saw King Jonathan sweep into the room arm in arm with Thayet. Adrienne had met them once bef0re, in fact the same time she had met Neal and Yuki, Thayet was definitely beautiful as everyone said. Around her people started to bow so she followed pursuit. The King gave a hearty laugh and stroked his beard with a hand. "Welcome all new pages and welcome back all of the older pages. You must be hungry so I'll say a quick pray and you can eat. We give thanks to Mithros, and to the Great Mother Goddess for keeping us safe through our trials."

This was a very odd pray Adrienne thought but along with everyone else she echoed him "So mote it be." And sat down to eat the food which had been provided.

When Adrienne had finished eating she had the opportunity to look around at all the new people she would be attending school with. She first surveyed her sponsor, Sam, he had blond hair and bright green eyes and his skin was a tanish color. Clearly he spent a lot of his time out in the sun. He looked up at her and saw she was staring at him intently. He laughed, as Adrienne looked away quickly a rosy red color arising in her cheeks.

"What's the matter, Rajmuat?" He asked his voice a normal tone, neither high nor low. Adrienne brought her eyes back to him. He had amusement written all over his face, but she tried to ignore it.

" Nothing I was just looking. And don't call me Rajmuat, my name is Adrienne." She said the red disappearing from her cheeks. Sam laughed again, and shook his head. "Ok, Adrienne so tell me about yourself." Sam leaned forward and propped his head up on his hands. His green eyes looked interested and half tempting. Adrienne wanted so bad to tell all of her secrets, but she couldn't tell anyone of….

"No, I'm sorry. I'm quite tired right now and must get some sleep." Sam tilted back in his seat and watched Adrienne as she arose from her chair. There was something about her that made him uneasy. She was definitely hiding something and he would have to figure it out..

Adrienne skirted away from the mess hall as fast as she could as once she found a empty corridor she leaned back against a wall and slowly sunk to the floor and put her head between her knees. There she sat cursing herself over and over again for being so stupid. She also praised herself for resisting just enough not to divulge the family secrets and her own. So, she sat there for quite a while and didn't even notice someone coming down the hall, but eventually he saw her and ran to her. "Adrienne were in the world have you been. Sam and I have been looking everywhere for you?" As Adrienne looked up she met her brother's eyes squarely. She just sat there the expression on her face saying, "I was an idiot." Sam stood behind Daniel in the shadows looking away from the reunion of brother and sister. Daniel read Adrienne's face like a book. He shook his head slightly and stood up. "Well, at least your ok." Daniel helped Adrienne to her feet. Once she was standing she found she couldn't look into Sam's eyes for she knew that they were probably filled with curiosity and a yearning to know.

The three walked back to the page's wing in silence. Sam left their presence first and went into his room with a quiet goodnight. The two siblings stopped right outside Adrienne's door. "What did you tell him?" Daniel asked quietly.

Adrienne shook her head, "Nothing I told him nothing, but I came so close he knows that I don't want to tell him something. So, now he will be curious and eventually he'll get it out of me." Adrienne said with a certain regret planted in her voice. Daniel looked away from her for a second then back again. For a moment he was silent. Then he spook breaking through the silence like a knife.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, but for now just lay low." He smiled and kissed her on the forehead in a brotherly way then marched off down the hall to his room. Adrienne stood in the hall and whispered, "Yes, but what if the bridge as already caved in when we get there?"
