A Fine Line Between
When DG stumbled across him in one of the palace's parlors, Cain sat slumped in an overstuffed armchair, his head tilted back and a damp cloth lying neatly over his eyes. "Headache?" she asked him.
"Yep," Cain said without altering his position.
"Long day?" DG pressed further.
"Ambrose," Cain replied, as though that explained everything. Maybe it did, DG thought.
"What'd he do now?" she asked as she took a seat across from Cain.
Cain snorted and readjusted his cloth. "Came running up from out of nowhere and went on and on about his latest invention. I swear, I don't think he stopped to take a breath for ten solid minutes. Never mind the fact that I didn't follow half of what he said."
"Okay, so what does this amazing device of his do, exactly?"
"I don't know; I never found out!"
"You didn't ask him?"
"Of course I did. He refused to tell me, after I'd 'so rudely' interrupted him."
DG was glad Cain couldn't see the devious grin that crept across her face. "The way you two harass each other, I'd say you were madly in love. If I didn't know better," she teased.
