Chapter Sixteen

“I don’t like this one bit.” Torroth smoldered in a poor attempt to disguise his annoyance.

“What? That the east midlands are swarming with soldiers or that they don’t respect you?” Inadar joked lightly.

“What? No no, not that. If they knew who I was then we would be in a lot of trouble. No one deserts the army without a price being put on his head. Preferably without the rest of him in company. Easier to transport that way.” Torroth began mumbling to himself.

“That is always good to know. I’m a Dragon Lord that would be hunted if anyone found out and you are a fugitive on the run. Relax, no one recognized us back there. They were looking for two guys. Not a guy and a girl.” Inadar tried to reassure Torroth.

“If they had been asking more questions we might have been in trouble. As it was they only let us go because the guy that brought us in didn’t really know who he was looking for.” Torroth shot Inadar a scowl.

“Whatever. He wouldn’t have been a problem if he hadn’t had all his friends with him. It really is astonishing who they let in the army these days.” Torroth scowled again and shushed Inadar as they rounded a corner and nearly walked into a whole squad of soldiers.

“Will you be quiet? You never know if one of them is behind a bush emptying his bladder.” Torroth whispered after the soldiers had moved past them hardly sparing a glance in their direction.

“It was informative being to their camp wasn’t it?” Inadar continued the conversation in a conspiratorial whisper that was sure to raise eyebrows if overheard let alone observed.

“How so?” Torroth tried to hold onto his bad mood and feigned boredom however the corners of his mouth had begun twitching ominously towards his usual smile.

“Well for one, we know that they aren’t looking for us. Another thing is that you never have been able to stay upset for long.” Inadar smirked up at Torroth who couldn’t help a little laugh.

“How was the last part informative? I already deduced that they had no idea who we are from the fact we aren’t manacled.” Torroth failed his rebuking scowl and only succeeded in making Inadar laugh.

“I suppose that part wasn’t new. You did look like you wanted to fight the world for no good reason and I was worried that someone might oblige you.” Torroth rolled his eyes dramatically at Inadar’s comment.

“It could have gone a lot worse for us. We could have been separated and questioned. We haven’t agreed upon a story yet and would have betrayed ourselves.” Torroth admonished Inadar but didn't manage to dampen her good spirits.

“Fine. If anyone asks then we can say that you are my father and we are going to visit your elderly mother in Cercha.” Inadar offered.

“Father? I'm not that old. I would have been an early teenager when...” Torroth stopped talking as a shade of red crept up his neck

“I didn’t mean to make you feel old but now that you mention it.
