They were now clothed.
They each exchanged glances, breathing hard from the wild ride they just went through.
"That was wild!" Rehul exclaimed.
Julian smiled.
"I guess I went a little mad there."
Rehul laughed.
"You guess?"
She laughed.
"You were really, really wild but I liked it though."
Julian grinned.
"I bet you did."
Then, they both laughed out loud.
"You know," Rehul began. "It's been quite long since I've been this happy."
Julian tried to keep an indifferent face, but it still looked curious though.
"Happy?" he asked.
"Yes," she said. "In the Imperium, you're never really happy. You're only trained to be fierce and work for their good."
Julian didn't say anything.
Thinking about it, shouldn't he be surprised that a commander as high as Rehul just quit to help him?
But then, he realized. It wasn't like she had a choice. She didn't actually quit. She would be beheaded if she went back anyway.
