The surprise factor

              After Orleand's words, the entire room fell silent for a moment, but despite that, Ameria and Drannor looked weirdly amused. Zaos finally discovered why Noemi wasted so much time watching him train… It seemed that she felt attracted to him. It was no surprise since she was at that age, and Zaos was a warrior from another land who helped her family more than a few times.

"Why did you suddenly say that, Dad?" Noemi asked.

"Well, I just thought that you were looking at him a little too much, and…" Orleand said.

"I wasn't!" Noemi shouted again.

                That was why Zaos never considered marrying a girl around his age. His wife needed to be at least five years older since, at that age, she wouldn't be so noisy and emotive. Even if her father misunderstood something, there was no reason to be so noisy. He was just two meters away from her, after all.
