“Heh… guess I shouldn’t… nhg… make fun of Owain for this…” she groaned, trying to stay alive but trying to keep Grima under control.

Morgan kept one hand on her sword as she shakily got to her feet, the realization growing on her that if she died, Severa might go over the edge- she had to be careful, then, because her sister was worrying about her again and she hated to be a burden. "I can take care of myself, okay? Don't worry about me! Let me help you!" 

Then she bit the inside of her cheek, studying him. “Hey, you look like someone I know…” she frowned and put her hands on her hips. “Ah! That other tactician! Are you related to her?” she asked curiously, leaning forward a bit.

He did not want to deal with questions about his identity as a kid from the future at every turn, so Mother had suggested a cover story for him. Urgh, he had almost slipped up! He had to be more careful next time. 

Her smile didn’t reach her eyes though. She was very reluctant to make this deal. Seriously, she needed money. She didn’t like that she owed someone money, but she did. And she didn’t have time for this! The red haired merchant took the extra gold out of her pocket and looked at him. 

"It's a deal, then. Check your merchandise carefully next time, okay? There are people fiercer than me who don't like being shortchanged." 

Today the absolutely best thing happened. My friend, who was in a coma for almost 11 months, woke up. I was in the middle of my exam when I got the voice mail “Tamara, come to the hospital, it’s really important.” My mother was talking really weird so my first thought was the worst happened, but on the contrary - today is the best day of my life. I ran to the hospital and there she was, waiting for me. Wide awake. She started to react to her new medication and she simply woke up! I didn’t know it would happen so fast. I still can’t believe it. :) Here’s a story I’d like to share. A few months ago I was reading her paper towns and on the part when Ben pees in a bottle she was kind of smiling. After that, reading paper towns became our thing, it was really nice to see her ‘react’ somehow. I read it probably 15-20 times and never got tired of it. The first thing she said to me today was “could you read me paper towns one last time please?” and that’s when I knew that all of this time she could hear me. I’m still half sobbing but I’m so happy words can’t explain. John is my favorite author since I can remember, but today he became even more dear to my heart. This book has a whole new meaning for me now. Thank you John!!! :)

This was not good, this was not good. She needed this money! Well, she could just get it back in a manner of seconds, but that wasn’t the point! She didn’t usually fake stuff like this; she needed to carry out the plan! Geez, she couldn’t just give the money back…. 

Haggling with a merchant was noton his to-do list. Naga be damned, he had other things to do and other things to buy with that money! Eeeehh! The Shepherds wouldn't be happy to know that he got cheated! Morgan looked down at the book in his hands. Well, yeah, he could just resell the Tome, but that wasn't nice! "Faking goods just isn't a nice thing to do!"

Severa grunted, trying to stop herself from hurting Morgan. She couldn’t lose her again! Using all the strength that she had, she pushed Morgan away while she forced her hand to turn against herself, full knowing that it was too late to stop the attack. “I’m sorry Morgan…” she looked at her and smiled sadly. “But it’s too late for me…”

"-aaahh!" She felt the sudden sensation of falling as her sister pushed her back, her world spinning out of control as she hit the ground and rolled across the gentle incline of the ground, grass and leaves catching in her hair. "S-severa!" Morgan sat up, spitting a blade of grass out of her mouth, looking around frantically. "Severa, don't-!"

“Hey, kid, I’m sorry! I’ll try to check my merchandise before I buy it next time, kay? ~” she patted his head and gave him a thumbs up. “You should, too, just in case this happens again….” she trailed off, not sure as to what else to say. She bit the inside of her cheek, trying to come up with something. She tapped her chin.

  "Okay, since you've admitted your mistake!" He handed the Tome back at Anna with both hands. "Could I have a refund?" 

Aha! She could pretend that she didn’t know that it was disguised, but refuse to give the money back! Yes, that was prefect. She put her hands on her hips and grinned at the little tactician.

He crossed his arms. The merchant had better not be honestly attempting to cheat him, he had his Elfire on hand- a cheaper and more effective Tome, sheesh- as well as pretty good aim. He had been practicing! He did not like people who only cared about profits! "Could you give me an explanation for this?"
