Siegfried's gray blue eyes flashed and he laughed. "Of course. But shouldn't we be too sophisticated for games?" Siegfried licked his teeth, feeling the points with his tongue. When had he last eaten? He wasn't quite sure. Sometimes he got so wrapped up in his research that he forgot. "I suppose you two just have more joie de vivre than I...oh, my mistake. Joie de morte, I should say." He winked at Alana.
Siegfried looked out over the calm waters of the lake. They were a dark steel blue in the fall afternoon, the silvery sunshine playing on the little wavelets. He sighed, exhaling the cool fresh air that the lake had chilled. He suddenly became aware of the long, slim box in his hand. "Oh, Helen. Shall I take this inside for you?" He held up the box.
