The commander's gaze rested on Kaeliyus for a while, silent as he contemplated things.
"That is tempting, and I'll take it," he said.
"I knew," Kaeliyus replied.
"Well, if luck be on our side, you can make it in time to come save us both should we ever need it," the commander said, going around to take his seat.
"This child, how is he related to you?" He asked, settling down on the chair.
"He is just related to me," Kaeliyus responded, earning a blank stare from the man. Clearly that wasn't the answer to his question, but Kaeliyus' response made it obvious he didn't want to answer.
"Ok? And among multiple options out there, why me?"
"Because you're the only one I can trust. I need the child under you, to get registered under your family name."
"That's pretty suspicious but a deal is a deal," the commander sighed.
"Then would you at least tell me about this boy? Where he's from. How old is he? Is he an awakener? Anything."
