Three Men and a Lady

"Good morning," Heru grumbled as he passed by Benu in the courtyard.

"Why are you rubbing your cheek?"

When Heru took off his hand holding his cheek, Benu saw the swelling mass of flesh with a tinge of red. "Don't tell me you made a move against that little rabbit?" Benu stifled a peal of laughter. He covered his lips while suppressing his sounds.

"Laugh all you want. At least I had the chance to hold her for a few seconds unlike you. You could not even hold Lady Yllana's finger-"

"OW!" Heru's other cheek throbbed in pain too.

Benu was smiling in front of him while his hand was balled into a fist in the air. "You should not go that far."

"Why don't you just stop playing with her and recall why we were sent here in the first place. It's been a decade since that happened. We should be getting back." Heru looked solemnly at the sky. His face looked grim as his eyes tried to wander in the puffs of clouds.
