"Um, Miliko, are you sure?" Myanh was asking for the fifth time.
"Yes, Myanh. I'm sure. Jeez, it's only a bloody horse." Miliko was getting annoyed. Myanh was asking her over and over if she was sure she wanted to ride her stallion, not her mare, which was the horse Myanh was borrowing from her.
"Myanh, Rabidash is back. He dropped all the luggage off at the camp. Um, he also said if you don't ride him he'll go away and not return," Shadi informed Myanh. Myanh immediately jumped off Kougra, the mare she was riding, and ran to her horse.
"Hey, Kougra, want to come beside me? You can." Miliko informed her horse. The mare trotted back to ride walk beside Miliko. Then Miliko turned to Shadi. "Rabidash didn't actually say that, did he?" she asked nervously.
"Of course not. I just got sick of Myanh's voice," Shadi replied, her face twisted in a sneer.
"Miliko, Myanh, and Shadi, we're here," Raoul called from the front of the line.
"Oh, but I only just got on my horse! I don't wanna get off!" Myanh yelled.
"I wanna see Dom!" Shadi yelled, causing Miliko and Myanh to stare at her. "What? I wanna ask him something!" Shadi protested.
"Yeah, we believe you." Miliko said sarcastically.
"Shadi's got a crush! Shadi's got a crush!" Myanh started singing, running around.
"Shut up, Myanh. I don't have crush on anyone. I just want to see if something that was never put in TP's books is something that should have been mentioned. I mean. Kel had a major crush on Dom at one stage, but we never got told if he liked her back," Shadi explained.
"Okay. Whatever you say, Shadi." Miliko agreed, knowing her friends attitude to boys, she just didn't like them. According to her, they were all chauvinistic pigs.
"Hey, you three, we're here. And, Miliko, Neal wants to see you." Lord Raoul walked up, hands in pockets.
"Who's Neal?" Myanh asked.
"Idiot, Neal is Nealan of Queenscove, you know, the oldest page, one of Kel's friends." Shadi said, hitting Myanh over the head.
"Oh, that Neal. The one that always gets crushes on girls, well, pretty girls, anyway. Okay, I'll come. Actually, no, wait. Has someone called Yukimi noh Daiomoru A/N Spelling, anyone? arrived yet?" Myanh queried.
"Yeah, and Neal was courting her for a while-'' Raoul began, and Miliko's face went blank as Myanh giggled at her friends expression - "But then they had a fight and broke up. They haven't talked to each other for weeks." He finished, and Miliko's face showed that she was intensely relieved.
Miliko followed Raoul to see Neal, leaving behind Myanh and Shadi. Shadi didn't stay very long, having gone off to hunt down Dom to 'question' him about his relationship with Kel. This left Myanh by herself until…
