Eldon knew that look on his sister's face. She didn't trust this stranger.

"Shells, relax. She saved us. Don't be rude. Dad wouldn't like that either," he told her, getting back at her for her comment about him swearing.

"It was rather convenient," Shelly responded. "How do we know she didn't bring the other ogres?"

"You'll have to excuse her," Eldon told the other woman. "She gets grumpy when anyone attractive is around."

"No, I get grumpy when I don't know what's going on," she shot back. "Eldon, those ogres appeared out of nowhere. We were sent to fight one, but suddenly there were three. This was a trap."

"Well, if she meant us any harm, why did she save us?" Eldon shot back. "She could have stayed back, and watched us become their 'yummies'!"

"Okay," the other girl interrupted. "You have me convinced. You're siblings. You can quit squabbling now."
