Alyssa looked over to Triska, the human seeing the witch holding back her tears well, then turned to Daniel with a troubled expression.

“It is something that’s been bothering me, yes. Please, don’t take it away from her,” she requested.

“Alyssa…” Triska said softly. Alyssa looked over to her with a smirk before glancing to Daniel with a small smile.

“Please? I’m not angry about what happened earlier, really, so please don’t take something precious away from her,” she said gently. Daniel looked over to Triska as the girl was showing a small smile at the witch before turning her eyes to him hopefully.

“Am I hearing this correctly?” Specca questioned unsurely. Squeak glanced to the cup of water she was holding and twirled it around a bit, wondering if something funky was in the drink, then looked to Alyssa curiously as the witch glanced down and away from everyone. Daniel looked down for a moment then to Triska with a small smile.

“Alright, if it means that much to both of you, you can have your sword again, Triska. But from now on no more-”

“No more swordplay in the caravan, I know,” Triska quickly agreed with before looking down with a remorseful smile.

“I’m sorry about that, I really am. I promise it’ll never happen again,” she assured before glancing to Alyssa, the witch watching her with a small smile.

“I promise never to hurt my friends with it again,” Triska finished. Daniel smiled at her then Alyssa while Squeak and Specca had confused expressions.

“I feel as though we’re missing something here,” Specca commented, with Squeak nodding slowly in agreement.

Alyssa waved her staff towards the caravan, the group then watching as a clanking sound was heard from inside before Triska’s sword flew out in its sheath, the weapon flying into the air before gently floating down towards Triska. She slowly held her hands out and caught it, looking at her trusty sword with a small smile before glancing to Alyssa. The witch winked at her then started walking towards Lucky.

“Triska, what happened with her?” Daniel asked as they saw the witch waving her staff around and creating a soft bedding of grass and flowers for her horse to rest on. Lucky grunted softly as he got down on the bedding, with Alyssa gently brushing his nose, while Triska watched the witch with a calm smile.

“She and I just had a talk, everything’s fine now,” Triska replied before looking back to her sword again. Daniel looked at her curiously then back to Alyssa as the witch was petting her horse gently.

“So, you two aren’t fighting anymore?” he questioned.

“Oh no, we’re still fighting, Daniel,” Triska said with a small laugh. Daniel looked to her puzzled as the girl held her sword behind her with both hands while smiling curiously at him.

“We’re still fighting over you,” she pointed out. Daniel smiled a bit to that as Triska glanced up and around at the stars in the sky.

“It’s getting late, we should probably get ready to turn in,” she mentioned before looking back to Daniel with a timid smile. Daniel looked at her for a moment then up at the sky, nodding a few times before looking over to Specca and Squeak. The two girls glanced to each other then back to him with small smiles.

“I suppose she’s right. You two go on ahead, it is her night after all,” Specca agreed while gently waving to the caravan.

“What are you girls going to do?” Daniel asked as Triska walked over and picked up her duffel bag with one hand, something that Squeak and Specca just watched with raised eyebrows.

“Going to stay here and try to figure out how she does that,” Specca said dryly. Triska glanced to her with puzzlement before looking over to seeing Alyssa walking towards them. Lucky was now sleeping on the bedding she had prepared for him, the witch looking around at the group before turning to Daniel with a happy smile.

“Ok, Lucky’s down for the night, thank you for feeding him earlier,” she said kindly.

“Of course, it was no trouble,” Daniel said modestly. Alyssa glanced to Triska then looked back to Daniel with an uneasy smile.

“So… I take it you two are…” she said slowly.

“Yeah, we’re going to go turn in for the night,” Triska said while watching Daniel with a timid smile. Daniel nodded before looking at Alyssa curiously, the witch glancing down and away while she was playfully leaning back and forth on her boots.

“Daniel… would it be ok… if I could get a goodnight kiss before you go?” she asked. Triska watched her carefully as the witch looked up to Daniel with an innocent smile.

“I know tonight’s her night, and that’s fine, but… I would like to kiss you goodnight before you go. Is that ok?” she asked. Daniel smiled nervously at her then slowly glanced around at the other girls.

“You know, I wouldn’t object to getting a goodnight kiss either, if that would be alright with you,” Specca mentioned with a small blush. Squeak nodded with a few quick squeaks as well. Triska looked around at the girls with concern then to Alyssa, the witch glancing to her with a small smile.

“Just one kiss, then he’s all yours for the night,” Alyssa said with a shrug. Triska looked to Daniel with a careful glance and thought about it while the boy was wondering if such a thing would cause another fight to break out.

“Well…” Triska said slowly. Daniel looked to her with an uneasy smile, and then to each of the girls as they were all watching him with hopeful eyes.

“Well, I guess…” he said unsurely. Triska hesitated for a moment then sighed and nodded with a dull expression.

“Fine, whatever,” she reluctantly agreed.
