66 Draven likes her

Soren threw his hands up in surrender, "Fine, you caught me," he laughed. "Aerilyn insisted on coming here to see Levina, something about Levina not knowing how to make friends and all. So the gentlemanly thing to do was to escort her here. I could not let her go alone." He plopped down on the small stool at the foot of Lucien's mat. Lucien sat back on his mat, laughing at his friend.

"Cupid's arrow is deeply hooked inside of you. There is no saving you," Lucien threw his head backward as he laughed heartily.

Soren smiled, "Laugh all you want. You would do the same if you were me."

"I was just teasing you," he jabbed his index finger into Soren's side. "But seriously though, what is up with you two?"

"I am officially courting her. Finally," Soren grinned. He had chased Aerilyn for so long that he eventually gave up until she showed up again.

"What is up with you? How are you dealing with Zarek?" he lowered his voice to say Zarek's name.
