     Urs shrugged. "Nothing."
     "That's not exactly true," Vachon whispered in her ear.
     Urs slowly looked up to meet his eyes. "Well, then, it's nothing I want to talk about."
     Vachon's brow puckered slightly at the rebuff, but he said
nothing, as he watched her.
     "Oh, go away, Vachon," Urs said irritably.
