Two Gifts

Abby was in the middle of creating a new engraving template for some Star Wars based picture books when Al dropped by the printing office. He casually mentioned that they were looking for volunteers to go bring today's rations to the Warrior camp.

Aside from Tahvo and one other male apprentice everyone else present was female. The boy rolled his eyes. "I spend more than enough time there already, thanks."

Tahvo agreed. "Sorry Alamar, I feel the same. Why don't you take Abby, Janna, and Mitzi? I'm afraid we still need everyone else to keep working."

Abby was taken aback. Why her? She was in the middle of something! It was true that she had been waiting for an opportunity to see Blaise again but she hadn't wanted to do it where other people could see. She didn't want to let slip how much she had actually missed him in front of any witnesses.
