"Who was that?" Mirella asked. Given Graicus' reaction she assumed he knew her.

"That's... someone I know. I ride with her." He answered flatly. He had just raised Mirella's spirits again, no way was he going to make her feel horrible by saying she had just kissed him in front of his lover. A lover which he hadn't even mentioned in any of tonight's stories. Most likely that was the reason Mirella tried her luck.

Fool

"What is she doing outside?" She asked in turn.

"Probably waiting for me to return to the inn we've got an early day tomorrow" Graicus said as he stood up.

Stupid fool

"Oh..." Mirella sighed. Sad that their time was at an end. But she understood. She rubbed her nose and rose with him giving him a measured friendly smile now. None of that foolishness from earlier. That was the wine's charm.

Once Graicus stood in the portal he turned to say his goodbyes and she hugged him.

"If I find him I will tell him his mother misses him." The gladiator promised. That same determination behind it like the first one all those years ago.

Mirella only tightened her embrace before she had to reluctantly let him go.

"You're a good man, Graicus. Really you are."

Graicus smiled. He wished he could believe that.

"Goodbye, Mirella. It's been good talking with you again."

And with that Graicus turned into the dark streets of Burma, back towards the inn.

''There will be hell to pay... Akatosh... How do I explain?''
