The well-dressed adventurer shook his head as Dominic looked back.
"If we can't bring the trucks, there's no point. I don't need to leave in that sort of hurry. They'll let us out to work soon enough, but thanks for the offer."

"Please tell me that is Lady General Alexis, and not your lover, who just happens to look like her. Nobody else has seen her, but the head count is full, so we left." He whispered.
"Indeed it is. It seemed like it would be less suspicious if she stayed in the forge wagon than if she went to the Commander's carriage at the front." Dominic agreed.
