From: 698cunliffecj@deanery.wigan.sch.uk (Christopher John Cunliffe) Subject: Re: [PORC]: Fire and Ice Tenaka looked at the Nord with hidden surprise. It seemed the problem of having to win her trust was over. He could tell from the look in her eyes that she was attracted to him - something he had not planned. He could not allow this surprising result to affect him, however. He had far too much to think about to allow romance to get in the way. Besides, he was a married man. Kriella would kill him if she ever found our that he was even allowing this idea to run through his head. "Thankyou for helping, Pilar," he said quietly. "I feel an obligation to this young boy, for without him I would surely have died only moments ago, and if it were not for me, he would still be in no danger of death. I find myself in your debt. However, we cannot tarry long here. You see the icy statue that Twilight inspects." He took Pilar's nod as a sign to continue. "That was an archmage but a few moments ago. When I defeated him, he also had an apprentice with him, whom I did not have time to dispatch properly. He seems to have awoken and fled. Soon this hall shall be full of guards. And this has left distinctly not in the mood for guards."
