“ I AM LEAVING POLIS FOR THE DAY. ” For once, she lacks her usual armour, clad in an outfit that makes her seem softer, almost -- clothes not befitting the Commander of 13 clans. It is her goal to remain undetected, leave her title behind and all its burdens with it, locked within the walls of Polis. If she seems nervous like this, stripped bear, standing before her lover as the girl she cannot often afford to be, she hopes it doesn’t show, even with the wavering of her voice and the way she swallows heavily before continuing. “ I was hoping you might join me. There is a place I wanted you to see ; something I’d like to share with you. A piece of myself. We won’t be missed today. Aden is holding council with Titus’ guidance. I doubt it will be anything more than trade disagreements and petty arguments -- nothing I will be needed for. ” She shifts slightly, heart hammering against its cage, overwhelmed by the need to fill the silence even after the briefest moment. “ You are not obligated to join me, though I arranged supplies enough for two. We’d have no need to hurry back. And I would enjoy the company. I’d enjoy your company. ”
