Laure cocked an eyebrow at the sound of Kymira's voice. Her assistant, hopefully soon to be Padawan, was yelling at someone in the outer office, and from the sound of it, she was reading them the riot act. "She's busy, and that's FINAL!" A muffled "Grrrr..." answered her.

"Look, I don't care if Cal keeps weeping on your shoulder and whining about how nobody likes him."

"Grrrrr"

"And I don't give a damn about his braid! Why do you? Having some unresolved feelings here, Vocab?"

"Grrrrrr!"

"I didn't think so! Now, unless you can drag Cal in here with you, my almost Master can't help you, and even if you CAN get his skinny butt in here, you STILL need an appointment to see her. And I promise that HER appointments are easier to get than others, that is, IF I'm feeling magnanimous! Now... OUT!"

Laure sighed and settled herself deeper in Commo's lap. She would have to do something about that grrl....

Two days later, Ky walked into the office, smiling and humming. Laure smiled back knowingly. "So, finally got to see him, huh?" Kymira glanced up at her almost Master. "Huh? Oh. No, I haven't seen the General yet." Laure's smile faded. "Why are you so perky this morning, then?" Ky smiled even brighter. "Quintus said he had a surprise for me today. So I'm meeting him for lunch while he plays with the boys." Laure furrowed her brow. What was the saying... beware of Romans bearing gifts? Nah... Greeks. But still, she had a bad feeling about this.

Later that afternoon, Ky made her way to the rugby pitch, eyes slightly glazed at the sight of the sweaty, half nekkid men. Just as she was about to fall over, a strong arm circled her waist. "Ah, here you are." Ky twisted around to see a pair of warm blue green eyes crinkling in amusement at her. "General?!? What are you doing here?" His hand came up to push a wisp of hair from his eyes. "I was taking a... break, and I happened to see you headed out here. I was wondering if I could join you." Ky's brain raced. It could be a very bad thing if he met... "Mistress, here you are!" Sea green eyes met dark ones as Kymira's brain ran in gibbering circles.

"I don't believe we've met. I'm General Kenobi, the president of this university. And you are?" Quintus nodded his head in recognition. "I'm Quintus. I'm General Maximus' second in command. An honor, sir." The two men warily shook hands, while Kymira stood there, numb.
"Mistress, are you ready?" Obi-Wan looked down at Kymira. "Mistress? Do I even want to ask?" Ky shook her dark head. "Woth your permission, General. I was about to begin Kymira's lessons." Obi-Wan could hardly belive one of his Grrls could learn anything among all these... men. "And what lessons would those be, hmmm?" Ky finally spoke up, her voice quiet. "Archery. He's teaching me archery."

Several hours later, Laure locked the door of her office, only to come face to face with a Kymira shaped lump in the dark alcove in the hallway across form the Mediator's office. "Oh, gods... what happened?" Ky shivered, then started mumbling. "I didn't mean to... it just happened... she's gonna kill me... purple's not my color..." Laure shook her trembling assistant. "Snap out of it! Now, tell me what happened." Kymira took a deep breath, then began. "Well, I went to meet Quintus, but before I got there, the General found me. Then, so did Quintus. Anyway... he's trying to teach me archery, so there we were... Quintus, Obi-Wan and me... I was so nervous, that I kinda missed the target."

Laure really had a bad feeling now. "You missed?" Ky straightened her back in a small show of pride. "Well, I DID hit something." She paused, waiting for her almost Master's nod. "I missed the target and I hit Cicero in the foot." Laure's eyes sagged closed as she felt the headache start behind her eyes. "Darry's gonna kill me...."
