‘Well, to keep things
short, I finished the dirty work myself, went through your things in search of
a potion…’
‘You did what?!’, He interrupted.
‘What I just said’,
she shrugged. ‘The wound was too deep for simple bandaging. Even your potion
didn’t fully mend it. Either way, you should be feeling thankful. After all,
you’re still alive’, she pointed out.
‘Yes, well, that is
true. And don’t get me wrong, I am thankful. It’s just the fact of my privacy
being compromised’, he muttered.
‘Whatever you say’,
she rolled her eyes. ‘Care to swap places? My arms are killing me after holding you upright.’

‘So, you still haven’t
told me your name’, she remarked.
‘Neither have you,
come to think of it’, he answered bitterly.
‘Why so rude all of a

‘I just threw that
out. Sorry. I’m feeling dizzy.’
‘It’s probably blood
loss. My name is Shirral. There, I opened myself. Now it’s your turn.’
‘Alvaren’, he
muttered.
Yay for mentioning the main characters' names so late!
