"I'm flattered you feel that way Marybeth." I waited a second more savouring the look of discomfort on her face before I asked, "Would you like me to ...et go of your hand?"Every part of her, except her mouth, said: yes. She kept glancing around wondering if anyone was looking. "I... I guess not... I mean it's... it's not a big deal."The rest of lunch went smoothly. It was so exciting to see Mary relax and adjust to my presence. I couldn't say why exactly I was doing it. I guess I thought I was. There was boxes filled with coins, bolts of fine silks and cottons. There was jewellery stacked from floor to ceiling.“Well, it looks like the town treasury won’t have a problem for the foreseeable future.”Demitris looked at him. “Sire, this treasure is yours. Are you not going to claim it?”“Why should I? I have enough to last me for many years, why would I want more? Tell me, what am I going to do with it? Lock it in a room and come down once in a while to look at it?”Demitris laughed and. The only question I had was whether he'd decide to pay for that watering, or he'd try to just take the water from me, by force of arms, and without making any payment."Senor Yay, eef eet comes to the fight, we will wish you muchas buena suerte, and go to our rancho until you send word for us to regressa, how do you say eet, come back?" How many of those longhorns of Denby's are you and your brothers hiding over in that mesquite draw down past my second corral Humberto?" Senor Yay, you say that. And so he stands in front of the gates to the building he'ss spend most of his upcoming years in: the dorms. A beautiful vintage building with a lot of history. Some famous scientist are even said to have lived here! He steps inside. The corridors are rather empty seeing as its already about 9 pm. Most students are probably in their rooms or in town partying. Stephan doesn't mind though, he's not the type for crowds anyway and this way it should be easier to follow the signs to the dorm rooms..
