"Are you sure you don't like Kel? 'Cause if you did, I could get you two together." Shadi said for the millionth time.
"I'm sure," Dom replied, eyes twinkling. "But I know whom I'd like to 'get together' with." Shadi didn't get it.
"A Yamani lady? Personally, I don't think you suit the emotionless type. You need someone who can fight, and keep you entertained. You need someone who can be a friend, as well as girlfriend." Shadi paused and Dom leapt into the opening.
"Someone like you?" He laughed.
"No, someone like Kel!" Shadi said, rather forcefully.
"But I don't like Kel that way. And she's involved with Cleon. Besides, I only just said there was someone I wanted to get together with. Someone I've only just met. And even fills all the requirements you've just laid out." Dom was hinting hard out, not joking in the slightest.
"Well, who is it?" Shadi demanded, hands on her hips.
Dom laughed hard out for a full five minutes. And while he was laughing, Shadi was watching a fight, storing away all the mistakes of the duellers away in her mind. As it ended which happened to be just as Dom was about to say just whom he wanted to be with. Shadi burst out with-
"It's Miliko! She's fighting the Lioness! Wait, she's lost! That's not fair, she's supposed to lose to me! Why I'll...!" At this point Shadi couldn't think of anything horrible enough to do to Miliko. That, and Dom suddenly came out with.
"I want to be with you, Lady Shadi of Venice." Shadi stared, open-mouthed.
"I'd advise closing your mouth, a bug might fly into it." Shadi's mouth snapped shut.
Only to open again when she said "What the-"
At this point, Miliko, Alanna and Myanh walked up.
"Hey Shadi. We gotta go see the King now. You comin'?" Miliko asked.
"Um, what did you say?" Shadi looked Miliko, looking totally confused.
"Hey, I know that look!" Myanh exclaimed. Shadi's face changed forming a glare that was directed right at Myanh. An angry buzzing filled the air.
"Bees!" Myanh shrieked. Shadi laughed, and the noise receded.
"Whose he?" Miliko asked, indicating at Dom.
"Sergeant Domitan of Masbolle, of the Third Company of the Kings Own." Shadi announced, savouring the look of surprise on Dom's face.
"Wait, did I tell you that?" He asked.
"Nup." Shadi answered, filled with a sense of superiority.
"Oh. Dom?" Myanh was directing this at Shadi.
"Uh huh. Dom." Shadi confirmed.
"I knew it!" Myanh yelled.
"Dom." Miliko said knowingly.
