Newest Girlfriend!?

Well, at least she's no longer tip-toeing around me.

"Hey, how did you find me back there, anyway?" I ask, wondering about the fairy's fortuitous arrival at the Paladonic Knight's base.

"Well, after I helped make arrangements for your dragon girlfriend, I came back and sensed you up in the mountains." I wonder if she could sense me, or the portions of her soul that reside within me. "When I realized you were partying with those wicked knights, I knew you'd need a dashing heroine to come save your giant arse!" I can't help but smile at her attitude, and even have to stifle a laugh when she sticks her tongue out at Emmet.

I notice even Becky breaks a tremulous smile.

"If you're done saving my massive hind-quarters, then let's get going," I tell her with a not-quite-forced smile.

"Sure, we just have one stop to make first," she tells me, but I turn to face Brooke.

She tries to walk away from me, but I catch her and turn her to face me.
