"I'm tired. I'm dehydrated. I don't remember the last time I ate. I can't go home... and I'm out here with you, avoiding everything that we should be ...alking about because I'm completely freaked every time I think about how you might flip on me." Why would I do that, Frank?" Oliver asked, alarmed as he moved to sit down.Frank only sighed and leaned into him. "I'm sorry, Oliver. I'm just kinda testy right now, you know? I'm not feeling real good." Are you gonna be sick, Frank?" Oliver. He will leave port immediately if you return. Do you understand?"Lippit tilted his head."May I make a suggestion, Sir Jorgarn?" he asked. He really wasn't sure his input would be welcome from the look on Jorgarn's face."Of course," came the reply."If we run into trouble, I suggest that we turn the carriage around and take it to safety," he said. "But as soon as Lady Eslada is safe, I turn it over to Fieth and come back to join the battle. I believe I will be useful to you on your trip to. I feel kind of vulnerable now, maybe cheap or ashamed of what happened." he said."Do you want to cover up or stop now?" I asked."No, no, not that. I'm fine now, or at least better. This experience is almost as new to me as it is to you. I expected it after the experience I had when you auditioned me for this display. I'll be fine. To be honest, I hope I did OK. I hope I wasn't to quick on the draw or anything." He said this very seriously. The openness and honestly of this young man is. We stopped in a familiarclearing, off the main trail. It was there Tom stated hisintentions.Tom said "I saw what you two were doing in the pool…have you everdone a train?" He looked at me as he said this, and it seemed to meTed was somehow familiar with the concept. I shrugged my shouldersand tried to be cool as my mind raced, not understanding what Tommeant. "You k**s don't know shit", Tom said as he pulled off hisshorts…"this is something men do". Ted had taken his trunks offagain, as if on.
