"Sister, I'm still not sure this is a good idea. The qualifiers was one thing, but this is a much bigger crowd. Are you absolutely sure this isn't cheating? Father definitely said this was okay?"
Bob nervously glanced between Nixie's mischievously grinning face and the bored looking badger that sat on the ground, idly snacking on honey flavoured treats from a bag it held. The tiny nanomachines that made up Bob's body shifted constantly, making his body flutter with waves of anxiety that moved across the surface of his being.
Putting on her best reassuring face, Nixie floated up so that she was eye level with Bob and wrapped her arm around his shoulders. She pulled him close and patted his chest gently as she said,
"Bobby, I already told you it's completely fine. Dad knows everything, we both know that. He has eyes everywhere. Plus, he saw me compete in the joust. So if it wasn't okay, don't you think he would already be here telling us off?"
