The gym, Monday

Camulus was in a Foul Mood.

You'd be in a foul mood too if your best trainer and right hand man had literally vanished from your bed the night before after finally getting him into it

Polgara stepped in the gym in search of Stildyne,a half-formed plan of dinner and guest lists in her head. But a cursory look around did not reveal him, so she approached the man with kilt and the face like a thundercloud, unmoved by his anger. "Excuse me . . ."

[godinakilt]

"What?" Camulus demanded, rounding on her with a baleful glare and an irritated twirl of his kilt.

Polgarar was paused not by his snarl but by the weird echo in his voice. "I'm looking for Brachi Stildyne. Is he around?"

[godinakilt]

Camulus's face shut down. "He's gone," he said shortly.

[polofthevale]

"Oh." Polgara frowned slightly. That was odd . . . Brachi had been looking forward to returning to the gym. "I was under the impression that he was a trainer here, I'm sorry. Do you know where I can find him?"

[godinakilt]

"He was one of my trainers," Camulus said shortly, raking a hand through his hair. "He left the village last night."

[polofthevale]

Polgara took a step back, her hand pressed to her chest. "He left? You're sure?" Why would he leave without telling her? She knew he wanted to, but . . . why?

[godinakilt]

"Of course I'm sure!" he roared. "He disappeared right on top of me, that's rather hard to miss!"

[polofthevale]

Polgara blushed but drew herself up straight. "There's no need to shout," she said sternly, then her eyes narrowed as she realised something. His mind wasn't angry. In fact, his mind seemed to be completely asleep.

[godinakilt]

"Indeed," Camulus sneered. "Brachi's not here."

[polofthevale]

"Then I will go," Polgara said stiffly. "Good day."

[godinakilt]

Camulus just grunted and turned away.
