"Hey! What insane thing are you thinking?" Eldrian shouted.
"Huh?" Jade looked around and decided without delay to never speak what she just thought of aloud. "Nothing..." She threw a wonderful smile at Eldrian, which, as normal, did not phase him one bit.
A truly vexing situation for Jade.
"I don't believe you." Eldrian said with a frown.
"That's the cave, isn't it?" Jade rushed forward, wishing to escape the interrogation she felt coming.
'She's really strange...' Eldrian shook his head and smiled. He was starting to like her. She didn't seem capable of hiding her emotions or thoughts, which was refreshing.
Eldrian didn't know it was because she was so used to being pampered and surrounded by people who were charmed by her. She had never faced anyone who challenged her. Sure, the old fogies -as she called the secret leaders of Miracle- weren't taken in by her charm. But they still showed the due respect because of her position and allies.
