Tala frowned. "No, I'm trying to get you out of bed. Are all of your team so against me?"

Max's hands went to his mouth in shock. Then he ran over and hugged Tala tightly with teary eyes, "I'm sorry!"

Tala sighed. "I should go." he pressed the blade into Max's hand and turned to go.

"No, don't! I'll get dressed!" Max begged and kept his grip on one of Tala's arms.

Tala looked round and chuckled. "Fine. But only because you made that huge sacrifice for me."

Max held Tala's hand and pulled him back towards the middle of his room. Then Max picked up his boxers and slid them on.

Tala sat down on the bed and chuckled.

"Pervert.." Max laughed and then shoved a pillow in Tala's face. Then he got dressed.

Tala laughed and set the pillow down.

"Okay, I'm dressed..where do you wanna go now then? Is Mariam in the hotel?" Max smiled straddling Tala's lap.

Tala slid his arms round Max's waist and stood up, holding him in place. "I think so. She was when I last saw her. Wanna go annoy her?"

Max nodded and wiggled his feet, "I can't touch the floor!" He laughed.

Tala chuckled. "I know."

"So, where's Mariam then?" Max looped his legs around Tala's waist and wrapped his arms around his neck.

Tala shrugged. "Still at the hotel, I guess. I don't know her that well."

[Yes, she's still there =D]
