Khala & Q’rin

Khala stayed with Q’rin by the fire, poking the embers with a stick, ‘Sooo… now that we are alone. What’s the deal with Ariane and you?’

‘“The deal”? What do you think it might be?’ Q’rin chuckled.

‘Hmm~, you were a couple but you cheated on her… no wait, she cheated on you!’ Khala grinned.

‘Yes, yes, I realise that would be a reason to be cross with each other, but not everything has to be about sex and relationships,’ Q’rin said, shrugging his shoulders.

‘So, it’s not that?’ Khala frowned, ‘Damn, I thought I had figured it out.’

‘No, it is not. We were rivals in the academy. I was always the tight laced one, trying to be my best, but she was always doing pranks and not paying attention,’ Q’rin sighed, ‘I was assigned to help her better her grades. That was probably the worst year of my life, even if she managed to pass in the end due to my help.’

‘Wait, you were assigned to Ariane for a year and you never… ?’ Khala wondered.

‘Did it? No, I wasn’t interested in that and neither was she for that matter,’ Q’rin shrugged.

‘Ariane wasn’t interested? Oh… I’m so sorry,’ Khala frowned.

‘Excuse me? What are you sorry about?’ Q’rin looked at her perplexed.

‘About you having a micro-penis, I had heard rumours about it but I never met anyone with that condition,’ Khala said, ‘Aren’t there potion to cure it?’

Q’rin huffed, ‘I do not have a micro-penis! My genitals are just fine as they are. You’ll have to ask Ariane about why she wasn’t interested.’

‘Oh, uhm, sorry. This is awkward,’ Khala sighed, ‘Let’s change the subject.’

‘Yes, let’s do that,’ Q’rin nodded.

‘So, about the riches in that tomb. What can I—I mean we, yes—what can we expect?’ Khala giggled.

‘Ah, yes. You are the more… entrepreneurial one of the group?’ Q’rin smirked, ‘Well, dwarven lords tend to be buried with a lot of gold and gems, to make their new kingdom in the afterlife.’

‘I don’t know what that word means but thank you?’ Khala smiled, ‘Hmmn~, gold and gems always put a grin on my lips.’
