>"I'm Minty."  she said as she nodded recognition at Kendal.  "I'm sorry

Tina smiled at the interuption from someone who had been so obviously   
evesdropping.
"Hi I'm Tina." said Tina taking hold of Minty's outstreched hand. Minty   
looked at Tina and then at Kendal.
"Tina is a dragon rider from somewhere called Renen." said Kendal.
"Oh hi, I'm Minty." said Minty "Where's Renen, I've never heard of it."
"WellI erm, I don't exactly know, as I don't really no where 'here' is."   
said Tina
"Hmmm strange." pondered Minty "How long have you been here, it's been a   
bit mad here recently."
"Oh I arrived earlier on today."
"Plannning on staying long?"
"Kinda, I'll wait and see what happens. Lets go and check on Koda." said   
Tina

"What's wrong with her?"
"Koda, she passed out I think due to being overworked. I think the nurse   
said she'll be ok."
"That's a relief." said Minty.
"So I hear that Kendals the best rider in the whole of Marrid, well thats   
what he tells me." joked Tina, flashing a grin at Kendal as they made   
their way over to Koda "What is it you do here?"
