Harvest Fair (part three)

Beta stood knee-deep in the rice paddy; her normal leggings were rolled up carefully. "Is this is really the stuff you cooked for us yesterday?"

Wind nodded. "Technically, this is wild rice; what we ate yesterday was white rice. I'm growing some of that too, but it's in a different area." The Gemini thief was all smiles while he watched her. "I have an official meeting in a bit. Let's go help Banz settle in."

Beta's pink eyes focused on him for a moment. "You said I'd get to play with the ducks first."

"Right, forgot about that. Ducks first!" Wind lent her a hand and helped her climb out of the rice paddy. Without pausing, she hopped on his back for a ride. "How'd this turn into a piggyback ride?"

Beta shrugged from his back. "Working hard makes me tired."
