"That's what say, and then they're-"Anellas father started with a large grin, before Anella reached into the moonlight and pulled him out desperately, crying "Father!" His grin faded a little, and he didn't finish.

"What was he going to say?" Rose asked curiously. "I'm sure it wasn't important." Raythor said. "If Anella's going to marry anyone on this quest, it certainly won't be me." "Never say never." Markus said with forced cheerfulness. He was begining to feel that Raythor wanted to kill him.

"It was nothing."Anellas father said, glancing at his daughter.Anella desperately looked for a way to change the subject, grabbed her fathers knife, and putting her own hand into the moonlight, drew it across one of her fingers. She didn't feel anything, but as she drew her hand out she saw it was bleeding. She frowned.

"Are you all right?" Laura asked instantly, hands flying to her mouth. "I don't think she's going to drop dead." Rose said, rolling her eyes. "Hey, leave her alone." Markus said. "Why?" Rose asked, smiling. "I don't know... you just keep picking on people..."

"I guess it doesn't work for you yet." Her father said "Like I said, I was a little older than you when in first started happening to me." "I'll just keep slicing up my hand untill it stops bleeding, then."She said jokingly. He smiled a little.

"I'd rather that you wouldn't." Laura said, fretting already. "She was joking." Rose said. Markus didn't say anything this time, and he took a step away from Raythor, who was half glowering at him.

Anella looked at Raythor and Markus for the first time in awhile, and the look on her face turned into concern "A-are you two alright?"She asked looking from one to the other.

"We're fine." Raythor said flatly. Markus nodded uneasily. "Yeah, fine. Exactly." "I'm just thinking, I suppose it's coming out in my expression." "That's never happened before." Rose commented.

"Its usualy.."Anella started, not sure how to finish "An unchanging mask of un-emotion?"Her father put in helpfully. She sared at him and he shrugged"Just guessing."

"How did you know that?" Rose said, surprised. "I mean...I guess it's obvious, but that's a spot on description." "I have facial expressions." Raythor said half heartedly. "Um... no. You have a facial expression. Just one. Sometimes you smile, but that's sort of like a crack in the... what was it... 'unchanging mask of un-emotion'."

"That was it."Anella's father said with a smile. "I'm sure.."Anella started, but she didn't finish. It did seem to be true that he always looked the same. "Trying to defend him, that's a good sign."Her father whispered teasingly. She blushed.

"I already like him better than my father." Rose said. "My father isn't nearly this perceptive." "You know, even I have to agree with you on this one." Markus said, after awhile, a little hesitantly. "It's true. My face is a rock." Raythor said impassively. "You do look nice when you smile, think of that." Laura said encouragingly.

"Do you think he looks nice when he smiles?"Anellas father said, looking at his daughter with a derranged smile. Anella quickly changed the subject. "Maybe we should all go to bed!"She said, her voice sounding rather higher than usual "It's very late, and it's been a big day!"

"Great idea. I'm all for that idea." Markus said, a little over eagerly. Laura looked at him funny. "I guess I'm tired... Good night, then." "Now I'm going to dream about Raythor having a rock for a head... not that he doesn't already." "It's so sweet that you dream about me." Raythor said half-heartedly. "Ah, I'm not even going to take that one."

"Alright then!"Anella said with her strangely high and cheery vioce "Goodnight!" She walked away, with her father trailing behind. When they were out of range of the others she turned to him. "why do you do these things to me?"She said pleadingly "Because it's fun?" he said with a shrug. She just sighed, and they kept walking. Eventually he spoke up again"Do you really like him?" Anella was silent as they reached her door."Goodnight, Father." was her only reply before she went inside. Her father shook his head "Of course he would be dirt poor."
