(Greetings All, Here's the next bit)

Nick and I gave each other a sidelong glance at the suggestion and I quickly protest the idea. “Oh we’re not together! We’re just…friends.” I glance at the ground while I hid behind the long strands of my silver hair as an embarrassed blush warmed my cheeks. Flicking my eyes carefully over to my friend he had completely missed the Ogre’s suggestion and was simply smiling kindly while waving it off. How is it so obvious to everyone else and not you?! The thought raced through my mind and I sighed internally. “Are you alright Vels? You look a tad red. You’re not coming down with anything are you?” Nick was at my side in a second his Sonic buzzing with blue light as he worried over me. A look of understanding and then condolence passed between my eyes and those of the two guards and I shrugged in defeat. “Well there’s no sign of a fever, no flu like symptoms. Hmm maybe we should wait and do this meeting another day?”

Brushing off Nick’s suggestion I pat his hand and give him as heartfelt a smile as I could manage while trying to be my normally cheerful self. “I’ll be okay, l-let’s have a look around!” Passing by the guards into the main entrance to the keep I unbuckle my long sword from its place on my back and set it into a metal cart next to a winding stone staircase. Nick had removed his grey overcoat and let the attending Kikimora place it in the adjoining coatroom. Having a quick word with the lady I heard him ask whether his Sonic counted as a weapon since it was really ‘More of a multipurpose tool with no lethal applications’ before sauntering up next to me.

(Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.)

(Edit: FYI

This version of Nicholas is still in his 15th Incarnation and he still doesn't know, or at least acknowledge that Vellantha likes him, since I set this about 1,500 years before the character piece I posted the other day which used his 16th Regeneration.

Glad to have added to the confusion Yay! :) )
