"Can you tell me about how my brother saved you?" Shali asked the mage. Syryn had her sit on the chair while he himself was perched on the table with his legs folded. A bowl of fruit lay between them though neither was inclined to eat any.
"Well... Er," Syryn faltered. It wasn't easy coming up with an action story about the villain while turning him into a hero.
"Grifan and I were taking a walk with his friends," Syryn began.
"What were you talking about?"
'Don't fight it, Syryn, we'll all have fun together.'
The mage blinked at the ceiling. "We were talking about having fun. I think your brother was planning some kind of water activity for us."
"Ah," Shali smiled, "maybe he wanted to take you dolphin riding."
Syryn had one more thing to ask Drevin about. How dare the prince not introduce him to dolphin riding!
