“You’re not listening, are you?”
“Not listening to what?”
Kairn was flat on his belly in the grass, legs stretched out behind him. He peered over his shoulder at Sethan, who was crouched beside him, intently inking lines on one of his calves. “To anything I’ve had to say for the last five minutes,” said Kairn.
“Well, of course I haven’t.” Sethan shrugged and Kairn shot him a glare. “You’ve been talking about girls.”
“So it’s fine for you to use me for your little experiments, but you can’t even listen to my problems?”
“Now you’re getting it.”
Kairn glowered at Sethan in silence for a minute as he continued to add lines to his work. “Why do I let you do this to me?”
Sethan shrugged. “Beats me,” he said. “But it’s convenient, so I don’t question it.”
“What are you drawing anyway?”
“Camouflage.” Sethan looked up with a grin.
“That seems like a lot of trouble for-” Kairn stopped short as Sethan activated the sigil and his skin took on the mottled green of the grass around it. He rolled himself to a sitting position for a better look. The band of green continued on around his leg, covering it from knee to ankle. “You know, that might actually help me with my problem.”
Sethan frowned at him. “I know I’m no expert, but I fail to see what camouflage has to do with pursuing girls.”
“Not pursuing. Evading. Reida.”
“She’s chased off another one now?” He sounded more pleased about it than he should. Kairn tried to ignore it and focus on the grass patterns on his leg. He swore the image was moving with the breeze.
“It should change to match its surroundings,” Sethan said. He took Kairn’s leg by the ankle and swept it over a bare spot in the lawn. A patch of brown formed among the green.
“That’s quite a spell,” said Kairn. He frowned at the hand still curled around his leg. “It doesn’t solve my other problem though.”
“What’s that?”
“Most of the girls I’m interested in thinking I’m with you.”
“Well,” said Sethan, regarding him thoughtfully. “You are sitting here letting me draw forms on you all morning.”
“I forget,” said Kairn. “Why do I do that again?”
