Unchained
Chapter
8: After
Hours
Nara spent the rest of the day peddling her cures to stand owners
(almost all of whom already knew her), and most purchased something without a
second thought, confident these herbal cures could resell for a worthwhile
profit. Ylana was undoubtedly in awe
that her friend indeed had a such a good reputation in this alien world, but
she also found herself blissfully lingering on what N’Goteth told her before
they walked away.

After Nara proposed that they all get together for dinner
that night, N’Goteth had turned to Ylana and offered her a wink. Though this was a gesture that traditionally
came from men who were trying to catch her eye with a bit of fun in mind, she
sensed something more from this man who apparently shared the same goal she
did. “It would be a joy to meet after
hours with such a lovely escaped Kryllian slave, especially since I’m sure we’d
have so much to talk about,” he said with a smile.

Oh wow!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much can be told in 5 sentences. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a bit of intrigue building...
ReplyDeleteThere is far more going on here than a wink implies, and I like that very much. You have captured our attention!
