"But you told him to go away!" whispered Megan.

"My cousin does not usually heed what I say," Riona whispered back. She finished with the cream and handed the small pot to Megan. "Here, use this and then get that flask of cold water out of the...the...freezing thingy or what-you-may-call-it.  Hold it against your eyes to take out the puffiness."

Megan did as she was told, though she had to remove her robes again. The cream made her dry skin feel a lot better and it had a pleasant scent to it. Then she sat on the bed with the flask held against first one eye, then the other.

Riona dressed and brushed her hair, then brushed Megan's out. "You should leave it un-braided.  It's prettier that way."

"It gets in my way."

"Well, when you work, you tie it back." Riona dumped her pack on the bed and hurriedly put stuff up in her nightstand and on one of the shelves. She found her extra hairclasp. "Here, you can put this in your...you don't have a pouch?  Well, we'll clip it to your belt for now.  But we'll find you a pouch, later.  They've got to have 'em--maybe in the armory."

She stood back and looked Megan up and down. "Your eyes look much better.  If anyone says anything, just tell them you had a sneezing fit from the dust in here.  The shelves are dusty."

Megan nodded, more grateful than she could express. "Thank you so much Riona.  I don't know what I would have done without you."

"That's what friends are for.  We are friends, aren't we?" Riona sounded a bit anxious.

Megan smiled. "Yes!  Friends forever!" She held out her pinky finger. Smiling hugely, Riona looped it in her own and they twisted them upward together. "Friends for life, friends forever!  May nothing come between us ever!"

Darach, outside, could hear squeals and giggles.
