Dom splashed his face with cold water and left his room. Walking he
remembered how Kel always had trouble rising after late nights like the one
just passed, in fact she probably even managed to sleep through the bell.
Dom walked up to Kel's door. When he opened it however he was in for a very
large surprise. Kel who had managed to break her old habit, and was in the
middle of changing. "Great Mithros" Dom screamed closing the door as
quickly as possible. Kel shrieked giving off a noise so loud that it
brought Neal dashing into the hall where Dom now stood. "Kel I am so, so
sorry", Dom said through the door.
"I knew I should have gotten that locking spell put on the door", Kel said between swears.
"What's wrong", Neal cried suddenly changing tones, "Dom what did you do!!!"
"I, well, I umm..." Dom was still trying to absorb what had just happened.
"Just spit it out Dom", Neal was looking slightly on edge by this point.
"I was thinking she would need to be woken up like we used to have to when she had a late night, and", Dom paused and was about to start again when Neal spoke suddenly understanding the situation.
"Stop, right there I understand. Kel were you changing at the time?" Neal spoke calmly to the door.
"Yes" she yelled back at both of them.
"Ok you know what, Dom learn to knock, and Kel don't scream so loud nobody saw anything, and you almost sent the glasses to pieces" Neal spoke with a certain high and mighty tone to his voice that Kel did not appreciate.
"Just get away from the door you guys", Kel said, once again gaining control on her emotions.
"Well we are going to breakfast now" Neal said, "come on Dom you have caused enough trouble today. Don't make things any worse."
"But..." Dom stuttered still in shock. Neal grabbed Dom by the arm and dragged him out of the hall. Across the camp and into the mess hall. Although Neal received several bruises from Dom's protests, but his grip remained as tight as ever. "Why don't you let go of me" Dom said, "we are no where near headquarters anymore".
Neal just glared, and then he spoke, "because you wont calm down, stupid". He was rather annoyed now.
"Just let go of me and I will calm down", Dom protested. Neal loosened his grip slightly, but he still held firm over Dom's squirming. They joined the line for food, upon receiving their bowls of porridge Neal took them to the farthest corner of the room. They sat in silence for a few long moments, both thinking and eating their porridge. Neal was the first to break the silence.
"What did you think you were doing", he spoke in a voice so calm it was unnerving.
"Well... wait a minute, I wouldn't have even thought about it if you hadn't put us next to each other. Why did you do that anyway?" reminded of this Dom began to get angry.
"Now that is totally off topic , anyway I asked the first question therefore mine must be answered first" Neal spoke just like the scholars he had spent so many years of his life around.
"Lets talk about something else", Dom said in a calm that was not reflected in his eyes.
"Why" Neal inquired, he was enjoying his cousins torture.
"Well maybe it's a little embarrassing for me", Dom said, "and you know very well why".
"So how do you plan to go about this any way", Neal smiled, "she isn't going to be easy".
"Well, I know how we are going to handle the evening Roul arrives", Dom said already expecting the worst, "that's when I am going to ask and make a total idiot of myself".
Neal smiled, "I thought as much. I asked the cook to pack you a travel lunch and your horses are being saddled as we speak. You and her should go for a nice long ride."
Dom fell into deep thought not knowing exactly what his cousin was doing. Did Neal support his plan or was he going to mess everything up, or was there some hope that Neal wanted this to happen more than he did. Well if he forces this and screws it up this camp is going to be short a healer. A ride does sound nice though.
NFA: Ok I would like to let you all know that after the next chapter, * Insights Of A Female's Mind* since that will be the end of my pre written work. But I do have a plot line and I hope that you enjoyed this a lot. Well thanks to all of my reviewers and what they have had to say, the criticism was constructive, and the compliments just as helpful and very well taken.
