“He’s the man that accompanied you, right?” he asks and I nod. The air is still as it is filled with an apprehensive muteness. “We’ll…I’m glad.” I continue to gaze at him unsure how to react, a smile stretches across his now red tinted face. “No need to look at me like that. I’m not mad. Just wished you’d share stuff with us. Both Altair and I feel the same.”

“Really?” I ask, he nods.

“Also, we kind of want you to describe the situation with the Assassin. You know the one that tried to kill me.” His eyes are blank and I nod in understanding. Better get this over with.

*.*.*

“I told you. He isn’t going to kill Varden.” I say to Altair for the hundredth time and can’t help but throw my hands up for more of a dramatic effect. In the presence of people I feel safe and comfortable with my real personality seems to surface not that I mind.

“You don’t know that.” accuses Altair.

“Yes. I do.”

“No. You don’t.” Varden sits adjacent to us while Altair sits directly opposite me at our table in the tavern at the Inn. People seem to become more familiar with us, since we’ve been here for three days now and managed to ward off danger and demons. Even though we need to move on.

“Ah. Yes I do.” I declare and I hear Varden sigh but ignore it. I’m not too sure about how long Altair and I have been at this but he’s really being difficult—if this is what I have to be married to I think I would take Varden over him not that I would voice that or think that out loud. The last thing I want is for Varden and Altair to have a smack down of their own and I know who’s going to win, that.

“You’re being difficult right now.” he states.

“I’m being difficult. Me! Really?” I question as I cross my arms and lean back in my chair as I cross my legs. He seems to continue this debate even though Lifet was the one that helped me save the women and strategized a way to protect the town. He’s a hero and yet Altair is treating him like some outlaw. I won’t have it. It’s one thing when people do it to me it’s another when they do it to someone who is worthy of a medal.

“Yes you. You’re always so—” Altair is cut short.

“Enough!” snaps Varden. “You two have been at this stupid debate for three hours. I really would like some peace and quiet if it’s not too much to ask. Please!” Altair and I fall silent and slouch lower in our seats not looking at each other. “You two can be such children.” I glance at him with a risen brow. “Don’t you dare give me that look Missy you know it’s true, you too Altair.” He points an accusing finger at Altair as if he were telling off a child for playing with paint and spreading it inside the house.
