“So who do you think he’s talking to?”
“Probably a girl.”
“You think?”
“Sure, a boy as cute as that?”
“I don’t know, he doesn’t seem like a very sociable type. I don’t really see him having a girlfriend.”
They were both silent for a few minutes, and Naolin continued talking to himself. “And don’t think for a moment that you should settle with anyone you’re not comfortable with, just because you’re worried that you’ll never find the right person for the job. Just remember that there’s no rush.”
“I wonder if we should be just sitting here listening to him,” Selunya pondered. “I get the distinct feeling that we’re eavesdropping.”
Aeldrim ignored her statement. “You really think he’s cute?” he looked at Selunya with a disappointed frown.
“Yep,” she affirmed, keeping a straight face.
Aeldrim grunted, and turned back toward the swordsman. “You know, maybe you’re right. I mean, a guy doesn’t smile like that for just anyone.”
As they kept watching, he chuckled. “I promise, after I get my emperium, no more fun unless you’re with me.”
Aeldrim and Selunya glanced at each other and agreed, “It’s a girl.”
Naolin stood up then and dropped something on the ground. The poring at his feet swallowed whatever it was up quickly. When he glanced over at them, Selunya looked away, blushing and hoping they didn’t look too obvious. Aeldrim just looked up at Naolin with an amused grin.
“What?” he asked them.
“We were just enjoying watching you talk to yourself,” Selunya said.
