"So I am told", he said, swallowing hard.

''Please, just let this be a harmless misunderstanding. Just go to sleep as soon as we get to the barracks or else...''

Or else what? He hadn't really thought that far ahead. What if she really wanted to... be with him? What would happen if she was to start making moves on him? Would he reject or would he give in? He didn't dare to say. But the more he gave it some thought, would it really be that bad if such a thing was to happen? It was obvious that she was interested in him, that much was as clear as day. He was no fool. But she was too young. He was 47 years old and had from a Beast Slayer's perspective lived longer than the original life expectancy of someone of their trade.

While the Beast Slayers didn't strictly forbid intimate relations between mentors and their apprentices or of any other rank, it wasn't appreciated. Feelings could cloud their senses and make them do the dumbest things when in combat against a Beast.

At this moment he was willing to set aside those taboos for a while. High commander Trymir didn't need to know. What was preventing him however was still the matter of ethics. Was it really okay for something like this to happen? He was old enough to be her father, and just thinking of it made him feel uncomfortable.

Hopefully, it would just turn out to be a simple misunderstanding.

And if it isn't, he reflected as he opened the barrack door, I can't really say how I will react...
