Runaways

You see, I haven’t exactly been honest with you

Ashort while later the Endurance returned to pick him up. The large vessel drew up directly beneath him, the main deck only twenty feet below his cloudy perch.

“Nice going, lad!” a gruff voice called out. Rochino stood by the ship’s wheel, smiling broadly up at him.

Glo gave him a short wave then shimmied down the rope. He was back on the main deck a minute or so later. Aksel waited there for him there.

“That was quite a stunt you pulled.”

A wan smile spread across Glo’s lips, his elbows and knees still aching. “Trust me, it’s decidedly less impressive when you realize that I almost missed.”

“We can fix that.” Aksel motioned for him to follow. He led them back to the Ravenford cargo, where Lloyd, Seth, and Martan waited.

Seth shook his head at Glo. “You’re such an amateur.”

“Looked pretty good to me,” Lloyd said genially.

Glo cocked his head to one side. “Ummm, Lloyd, aren’t you still blind?”

Seth smirked. “Exactly.”

Aksel let out a heavy sigh. “Glo, do us all a favor, never do something like that again.”

Glo grinned sheepishly. “Trust me. I’ll leave the heroics to Lloyd and Seth from now on.”

The sounds of footfalls on the deck caused them to spin around. Ves and Maya ran across the deck toward them, with Ruka trailing slowly behind. The two sisters reached Glo first and threw their arms around him. Ves stood up on her toes, pulled him down, and kissed him on the cheek. Glo was taken completely off-guard. It was the second time Ves had been this close to him. This time there were no dust clouds, though, and he could smell the scent of her hair. It was like a fresh ocean breeze. Glo felt the blood rush to his cheeks as she hung on to him. He was going to ask her what that was for, but he lost his train of thought as he gazed into her sparkling blue-green eyes.

“Thank you for saving Cal,” she said in a soft voice.

Glo opened his mouth to reply, but no words came out. Then he felt his waist being squeezed. Gazing, down he saw Maya’s sweet face grinning up at him.

“Yes, thank you for saving Cal!” she cried.

He managed to smile back at her, but still felt confused. He shifted his gaze from Maya to Ves and finally managed to speak. “Who’s Cal?”

Ves pulled back a bit, a look of surprise across her face. Yet her arms remained draped around his neck. “Why our dragon friend, of course,” she replied as if it were obvious. “That was very brave of you to come to his rescue.”

“Personally, I thought you were going to totally miss and fall into the ocean,” Ruka said from behind her sister.

Seth snickered. Lloyd and Aksel chuckled.

“I almost did,” Glo admitted. “I’m not exactly an acrobat.”

“Either way, you saved our friend’s life, and we are all grateful.” Ves gave him another peck on the cheek and then pulled away. Maya followed her sister’s lead and let go of him.
