All the men looked at me thinking over my comments. "Where do you think I get all my magical energy?" I said, beaming my brightest smile, laughing at ...y ridiculous joke. Everyone one of the men had open mouths and blinking eyelids."Just joking, don't breathe a word of what I said to anyone," I mumbled, "don't want anyone taking my wizard guild card away because I am giving up secrets."Tharin seemed to get I was kidding and his natural grin filled his face.He hit me on the back saying, "No the.

Pleased to meet you." said Denise, her eyes turning green. It seemedthat Stephanie's idea of going out together didn't seem to have thesame meaning as hers and this bloke was not something Denise hadbargained for - at all!"You don't mind if we skip dinner do you?" said Stephanie, hanging offthe arm of the big man.
