Oh, darn. Not dead. Oh well, almost dead was still pretty cool.The bout of coughing grossed her out a little. The girl clearly had cooties. She had to have touched a boy or something. It was her own fault, really. Everyone knew that boys were dirty and had awful cooties. Brothers were okay, but others weren't. Rhys studied her while the girl coughed. Maybe this girl didn't know the rules. She was pretty little. Maybe she didn't have older siblings to explain everything to her.
"Being sick doesn't sound like any fun." She'd never been sick, but if it involved such a nasty cough it was an experience she didn't want. "I don't eat sick puppies. You're really good at pretending. What's a bonebreaker?" And why did it eat sick puppies? They didn't sound very tasty.
So much coughing! It was gross. Who was she? "Who are you?" Proudly, she stated, "I'm Rhys, Imperium's princess warrior."
