Kahlen 
Kahlen glanced around, grabbed Auberon's hand, aka pulled him into the nearest alcove. Kahlen closed her eyes, quickly running through a memory, allowing him to watch.

Auberon
Oh, lovely. "This is defintely my idea of quality time," Auberon mumbled.

Kahlen 
Kahlen left the vision as soon as possible, transporting them back to reality. "That's them."

Auberon
"Oh," Auberon thought for a moment, then stared into her brown eyes.

Kahlen 
An involuntary shudder ran through her, and she clenched her fist to keep everything behind the wall where it belonged. 

Auberon
Auberon slipped both of his hands into hers. "It's fine, hun," he reassured quietly.

Kahlen 
Kahlen nodded. He's right. Keep it under control.

Auberon
Auberon kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Talk to me if you need to."

Kahlen 
Kahlen was cut off by the bell. "Thanks."

Auberon
"Well, I need some purpose in life," Auberon mumbled. "Want me to walk you to your class?"

Margot
The bell pulled Em from her thoughts. She slid her book onto her lap and glanced toward the door as students started to trickle in.

Kahlen 
"... if it's not too much trouble?" I don't want to be that kind of person, especially if he has places to be-

Auberon
"I wouldn't have asked you if it was too much trouble," Auberon responded.

Kahlen 
Kahlen nodded gratefully. "That would be great."

Auberon
Auberon motioned with his hand. "Lead the way then, Sunshine," he said, smiling mischieviously.
