Zaer finally had the sense to loosen his grip on her. He missed the feeling of her in his arms as soon as she left. "Oh, yeah, sure. Go ahead." Hopefully a cleaner appearance would help her make a better impression on his people. Maybe. It couldn't hurt at least. "But don't wander off too far, okay?" When she left, he began to plan out in his head what he would say to the chief. It would be a big enough surprise that he would be returning home. He would have a lot of explaining to do, but it couldn't help. If there was any chance of anyone surviving this war, they'd have to listen to him and Ayesha.
