Ethan Chapter 8

During our journey we stopped for a while at the village of the dwarves. There we heard that a dragon had been terrorizing the villagers. We waited for morning, and the left the village in search of the dragons. Ethan, Ray, Estel, and I all went. If we pool our strengths, we can surely defeat the dragons.

Of course, that assumes they dont all have hangovers.

Estel: "My head hurts..."

Sara: "That's because you drank too much last night."

Estel: "Well, you're the one who kept giving me drinks."

Ray: "Hey, dont blame this on me. You drank of your own free will."

Sara: "It doesnt matter either way, does it?"

Ray: "Sara, you've been cold since we got up this morning."

Estel: "Are you still mad about that thing last night."

Ray: "It's okay, there's nothing you have that you have to worry about someone seeing."

Sara: "I do too! How rude! Im not going to let you goad me. Im not mad about yesterday anymore."

Sara: "You seem to be feeling fine today. Dont you have a hangover?"

Ethan: "No, Im fine!"

Sara: "Really..."

Ethan: "I really didnt drink that much anyway."

Sara: "What are you saying? You drank a lot!"

Ethan: "Sara, Im not sure what you're talking about."

And there was a smile in his voice.

Could it be that he doesnt have any memory of drinking so much? So, that means he doesnt remember that kiss either...

With a sinking feeling, I asked him hesitantly...

Sara: "Hey, last night... Do you remember what we talked about?"

Ethan: "What we talked about? No... I do remember a discussion about what happened at the bath..."

Sara: "I dont want to talk about that anymore! Anyway, not that. It was about..."
