I ate breakfast with Temur. It was a silent affair where we are both lost in our thoughts, even the big guy didn't show any excitement for the food.
The curtain to the tent opened, and Cele walked in; she was dressed in a white and red robe with her hair still wet from her recent bath. "I see you wake early. Good morning!"
We mumbled our greetings as we watched her take her seat; she set a cup and jug in front of herself and served tea. She took a sip and looked up to me and Temur staring at her. "You want to know the news I have."
We didn't reply, there was no need to when she knew why we waited so. "I've talked to Captain Ryker and explained the situation to him. He didn't promise anything but he agreed to talk with you guys."
I released a breath I didn't know I was holding; that's better than a flat-out refusal. Honestly, who would we turn to? We are Iron ranks just starting our journey. We do not influence to fall back on.
"Thank you, Cele," I said.
