Sunniva lied in the bath eyes closed. She enjoyed the warm water to its fullest. She opened her left eye when she heard the door open. The noises indicated that some one was getting ready to take a bath in next room.
”Are you alone in there?” a male’s voice asked.
”Now who would be here with me? Of course I am.” Sunniva replied.
”Why you always have to fight?” the voice continued. “You shouldn't make fun of him, he is their captain after all.”
Sunniva sighed slightly and replied, ”He was asking for it. I don't know what kind of dictator he is to his forces, but he didn’t impress me whit his taunting attempts. And besides, you should have defended yourself and not let him call you a boy and...”
The male’s voice interrupted her. ”If we are willing to join them, we should do what he asks, and be more respective to him. I know it’s hard on you, but please sis’, try to bear with him...”
”As you ask brother. I wont aggravate him anymore... Oh and I know that we are making some real profit whit them.”
”What do you mean?” the man asked in a confused manner.
Sunniva threw something over the screen cutting the room in half and splashing in the bath on the man’s side.
Saerid took the little bag in his hand and instantly his eyes widened.
”You didn’t?!” he said gasping for air.
”Oh yes I did.” came the reply. “You don’t know how little people keep their eye on things when there is something more interesting going on, like the fight for example.”
”You little runt! Do you know what they do when they find out that you stole one of their....” Saerid paused briefly ”Wait a minute... This is my coin purse!”
Sunniva started laughing on the other side.
”You really thought that I would be stupid enough to steal their money? I know how much you have put into this already, and I wont do anything... well almost anything to jeopardize it. And besides, you too need to keep your eyes on everything that happens around you, and not just stare at the fight at hand.”
Saerid grumbled something by himself.
Sunniva was drying her hair in her little room while her eyes saw the knife on the table. She took it in her hand and started to balance it on her palm.
”This might even be fun...” she said to herself and grinned widely.
