Love Problems-
a story in many parts
part 1- never be lying to the Great Mizuti.
Xelha stared out at the stars passing by. Though she loved to travel on the Mindeer, she couldn't help but be terribly preoccupied. She wasn't sure that she could save Kalas before he was totally consumed by the devastating evil of Malpercio. Worse, she didn't think that any of her traveling companions could ever fully trust her again. After keeping secret the fact that she was the queen of Wazn from them, who knew what else she could have hidden?
She had taken off a glove and was chewing on one perfectly manicured nail when Savyna came up beside her. The huntress regarded her coolly for a moment, hands on hips, before speaking.
"What's wrong?"
"Umm...nothing..."
"Don't give me that. I have never once seen you bite your nails. Something is up."
"Well..."
The Great Mizuti floated in, head propeller revolving furiously.
"The Great Mizuti be wondering if you be having love problems."
"No. I'm just a bit nervous."
"YOU MUST NEVER BE LYING TO THE GREAT MIZUTI! THE GREAT MIZUTI BE KNOWING EVERYTHING!"
Mizuti made a move for her deck of Magnus.
"Oh, all right," Xelha sighed. "Yes, I do have love problems. Happy?"
"The Great Mizuti knew it! The Great Mizuti knew it!"
Lyude stepped through the door, narrowly missing Meemai. He looked around the room, rather puzzled.
"Why is the Great Mizuti dancing about in little circles?"
"The Great Mizuti has been victorious," Mizuti explained.
"At?" he inquired.
"Xelha be having love problems."
"Lyude doesn't need to know that," Xelha protested, colour rising swiftly in her cheeks. She played with the Ocean Mirror for a while.
"Oh, I see it now," Savyna grinned. "It's Kalas, isn't it?"
"What makes you think that?"
"We've seen the way you get when you talk about him. Don't lie to us."
Lyude, Mizuti and Meemai skipped around Xelha in a little circle, poking her repeatedly.
"Xelha (poke) has (poke) a (poke) crush (poke) on (poke) Kalas, Xelha (poke) has (poke)..."
Here they were stopped because Xelha hit Lyude with her staff. He hopped about in a square (purely for variety) for a while, screaming and clutching his fingers, then went to seek medical attention from Gibari. Mizuti followed.
has anyone else noticed that everybody pronounces "Malpercio " differently? Bizarre.
