Prince Cambren had finished feeding his horses and was strolling thoughtfully back towards the castle when he nearly ran into a dripping wet Eldrick, who was charging up the garden path with his shirt and boots in hand.

“What happened to you?” Cam enquired, a little nervously. There wasn’t much water out that direction, except for the pond where he’d left the frog.

“What does it look like?” Eldrick snapped. “I went for a swim. Also, there’s something nasty in that pond. I’ve never seen any fish in there before, but something kept brushing up against me.” He shuddered visibly.

“Probably just the result of letting it go for so long,” Cam said casually, controlling his urge to race back to the pond and make sure his frog was all right.

“Yes, well, I don’t like it. I’m going to ask the gardeners to clean the pond out immediately. I don’t like the idea of having snails in my hair just because I wanted a bit of a refreshing dip in the water.”

“Don’t do that!” Cambren insisted, a little too quickly and vehemently.

His brother shot him an odd look as he used his white silk shirt to mop at the water dripping down his neck. “Why ever not?” he demanded. “It’s not like anyone ever goes there anymore.”

“I just… I like it the way it is,” Cam said lamely. “It looks peaceful, and natural. I’d hate to turn it into something fake.”

Eldrick snorted. “Right. Because everything else around here is so genuine, isn’t it?” Slinging his wet shirt around his shoulders, Eldrick stalked away towards the palace, jaw set and fists clenched in unmistakable frustration.

Well, that was odd. What Cam most wanted to do was return to the pond and ensure that the frog was unharmed, but he resisted. First, he needed to hasten to the market and find out whether the frog’s advice would enable him to meet his father’s challenge. He could go back afterwards, to let the frog know of his success, or his failure.

And to see if his new friend might have any insights into Eldrick’s odd behavior.
