Kapitel 368: Goralpri (part three)

Nix appeared in the peaceful Grove a moment later; he cleared his throat while covering a smile with one hand.

Tai'Qui was standing knee-deep in mud, carefully forming mudpies with her hands. She looked up when Nix made a noise. "Back so soon?"

Nix glanced at the large stack of mud-balls on the grass. "Yep, couldn't stay away."

Tai laughed at his expression and waded toward the grassy bank. She wore brown leather leggings that were rolled up to her knees and a red scarf wrapped around her head that made her look like a gypsy. "This is how rumors get started."

"I am aware." Nix walked toward her, stopping next to the pile of mud. "These for me?"

Tai pursed her lips while considering the question. "Half of them, I need your help, though." The mud ran smoothly off of the dragon's brown legs when she stepped onto the grass.

"Perfect. I need your help also, we can exchange favors." Nix grinned and picked up one of the mudpies that were dried.
