Jonathan expected one of Alan's pert answers and looked expectantly at his friend. To his surprise Alan looked thoughtful rather than charmed.

"How long are you here, Cousin?" Jonathan asked, drawing attention away from Alan's odd silence.

"My uncle says he wants me to stay here for a while," Roger replied, looking down at the Prince. "'Make your home with us'

was the phrase he used." The Duke shrugged his wide shoulders. "I think my wandering days are over."

Jonathan grinned. "I can't see why you've been avoiding us, anyway."

"Not avoiding you," Roger corrected him. "Educating myself. The difference is considerable. Now, would you be so kind as to take me to their Majesties? I think it's time I greeted them."

Alanna watched the Prince and his cousin go, frowning. She shook herself, trying to shed a cloak of uneasiness.

Gary looked at her. "Are you falling sick with something, youngster?"

Alanna hunched her shoulders impatiently. "I've never been sick in my life."

"Then what's wrong? He was being friendly, and if you were a dog your hackles would've been up."

"I'm not a dog," she said crossly. "Why should he be friendly with me? I've never seen him before."

"But he'll have heard of you. You helped heal Jon-now what?" There was a strange look in Alan's eyes. If Gary hadn't known his friend better, he'd have sworn that look was one of fear.

"I don't like grownups taking an interest in me," Alanna replied. She was afraid. "I don't like people nosing in my affairs, especially sorcerers. Come on-we'll be late for dinner."

Gary followed, more confused than ever by Alan's response. Was he hiding something? It was a question for him to ponder on a rainy day.
