Our Time

He smiled amiably at the couple though his mind was filled with thought and his heart burned with anxiety. As business was finalized and conversation became casual, as casual as the Ludicael laws could be, he realized that he could not be sincerely present with the duties that current weighed on him so heavily. He shed a quick glance to Aria, one that spoke his needs and his appreciation at once before addressing the couple before him once again. I apologize but there are some pressing duties that I must attend to. I hope that you do not mind my departure. Aria is a wonderful beta and she will do anything to help you settle in Cherokee. he spoke, turning his head and directing his tight smile at the sandy woman beside him. Thank you Aria, for all that you are doing and all that you have done for the Ludicael. I hope to see you soon after this harrowing business. and with those words he was off again, his nose pointed in the direction of the battlefield.
