''Yeah,'' replied Anindira, blinking her eyes.

''Let's go to the river!'' Halvir shouted again, ''We will meet Ezra and the others at the river later.''

''Yeay! That's great, but, Havi... where's Hans?'' asked Anindira, looking here and there.

''He's gone,'' replied Halvir, then lifted Anindira from his lap, he got up to take clothes and fabric bark which he would use as a towel.

''Don't make a face like that, pity him, Hans will be sad if he sees your ugly sulking face,'' Halvir answered while rubbing her head. He laughed teasingly at Anindira. Making Anindira's lips churn and her forehead wrinkle.
