Blaire had figured it safe for them to go find some food since Nadine's cabinets were empty.
"So what do I do if I see these 'Royals'?" Julius asked taking a bite out of a giant star fruit.
"I'd say, kill them. But they have weapons so the smart thing is just to run away," Blaire said searching for some berries.
He had been going on about the Royals since she told him about how mean they were. She began to wonder if he was actually faking amnesia.
"So Jul...Tex, you can't remember anything?" she asked changing the subject.
"Nope," he shrugged.
"What's your favorite color?"
"I dunno," he said absently.
Blaire sighed, he was getting boring.
"What's that?" Dallas asked pointing to a crossing shadow above them. It was a patrol hawk!
"Get down!" Blaire shouted and dove at him, they rolled into a pile of leaves. She covered his mouth and held him down. The leaves covered them, but a piece of light was reflecting off Blaire's eye ring.
Julius wondered why she was hiding them. All he wanted to know what the shadow above them was and there she goes, pushing them into a pile of leaves. Even if his memory was gone, she was the crazy one.
"What was that?" Julius whispered.
"Shhh, Royals," she answered letting her hand off his mouth. He tried to see but with her practically on top of him and with the leaves as a shield, it was no use.
Blaire was breathing fast. She must have been scared. She was really close; he felt that her breasts were pressed tightly against him. He swallowed nervously.
"Are they gone yet?" he asked taking his mind away from their intimate position.
"I think so," she replied and stood. The leaves slid off them.
"What's that?" he asked.
"What!" Blaire asked jerking to see if another patrol hawk was flying overhead.
"That, on your face," Julius said pointing.
"Oh," Blaire felt the raw flesh of the side of her face. It was beginning to scab over, "It's a wound."
"It looks fresh, how did you get it?" he asked cocking his head curiously.
"A Royal gave it to me," she said and closed her eyes, trying not to look at him.
"What a bastard," Julius growled.
"Yeah, never mind about him. Let's just keep walking," she said and opened them. He noticed they were minty green and a vision struck like lightning into his head. Maybe it was a signal but he remembered those eyes.
