132 What's yours is mine...

Mika looked at the man who they called Commander and felt something was familiar about him.

Where have I seen this man before? Mika thought back to where she could have met a man like him.

Braeden grabbed Ailwin arm, "Be careful..."

Ailwin brushed his friend's hand off and bent down to accommodate Mika for petite height.

"Who might you be?" Ailwin gave Mika a faint smiled to ease her nerves.

When Ailwin smiled, the memory came back to her.

It's the cake and sword thief!

Ailwin saw Mika's eyes widen in surprise. Is this little fledgling dazzled my smile? Why isn't she talking?

Ailwin looks back at Braeden, who shakes his head, and turns back to face Mika. Clearing his throat and he tries again.

"What is your name?"

"What is your name?" Mika replied back when she regains her composure.

"Argh!" Braeden shouted out when he heard Mika's answer. "Her name is..." Damnit! I can't even say her name!

"What's her name...?" Ailwin asked, waiting for his friend to finish his words.
