“Hithere,” Todd answered.“I was wondering when you guys were going find this.”Mason said.“Who did this?” Todd aske....“I don’t know, it’s been here as long as I’ve been here.I’m a senior now. I’ve used it a lot in the past threeyears.”“Used it for what?” Paul stepped in.Mason laughed at the question. “What do you think?”“I don’t know.”“Well, do you want to find out?”. ”Ashryn smiled brightly and said, “Oh! Thank you, but I’m okay! I left my shield and armour at the convent, but I made sure to bring my mace today, just in case!”She unhooked a small, one-handed flanged mace from her belt and held it up to show everyone, before carefully tapping it on Voss’ chest with an enthusiastic, “Boop!”Voss’ smile was frozen on his face, the rictus of a man who had taken a mortal wound to his pride.Despite his wounded pride, Voss did manage to knock Ashryn off the topic. Will turned back to Ben. ‘Is…is what she says true?’ he asked. ‘Is she the woman you were with last night?’ Ben nodded. Since Nancy had started this, he had no choice but to continue. If he tried to tell the truth now, it might make things worse. ‘Yes…it…it is,’ he replied. ‘I…I was afraid that, you know, because of the difference in our ages and…well, with Nancy having such an important job and all, it might not look good if people found out about us.’ Will looked from Ben to Nancy and back. "What do you think?" he answered my question with a question."Hell I don't know." I sighed, "Dad reckons you are because you didn't react to his lady friend's bare body." If I said I wasn't" Tony grinned "who'd believe me?" Well I would, I think." I replied uncertainly "Are you saying you're not gay?" Nope." he grinned annoyingly."Then you are gay." I sighed sadly."Nope." he grinned even more."Jesus Tony," I burst out "what is this, you can't be either straight or gay." Well you can be both,".
