Northstar Vale just a cold lighted day

She had been spending almost all of her time with Stephanie the past few weeks, and had yet to come to terms with this nickname she had somehow acquired even if it was fitting. It was so strange to hear everyone referring to her as Queenie; her name was Stephanie, what was the point of calling her something else? She wasn't the queen around here - or, mor-winning-whatever like Delight.

Then again, what kind of name was Delight? Ah, she didn't muse for long. Kratha kept on Stephanie's trail until they came to the borders, ready to begin another round of patrols. The days since Kratha's arrival had been filled with such antics, and she had started to fill out again with physical depth and strengthened health. The guy they encountered looked a bit moody, but much the same. He seemed healthier than the two of them combined - or at least, bigger.

She swept her eyes over him and then blurted, What's got your panties in a twist? He looked like someone had spoiled the score on a football game, or some equally trivial venture.
