Bill said, but Gregory was stunned to a stupor by Namiha's sudden appearance.  Bill had to shove Greg to get him to follow him, and the pair managed to close the barrier behind Namiha.<br/><br/>Neither Bill and Greg had ever seen Namiha before, but they had heard of her.  Her beauty had become legendary around TIDE POOL within the last month.  So even now, even with how distressed she appeared, Namiha possessed that otherworldly comeliness that had been spoken of at great lengths among the guards as they hovered over their meals to chat and play games.<br/><br/>Gregory had believed the stories, but Bill had been skeptical.  He was wrong, though.  Namiha was perhaps the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on.<br/><br/>"She was with the Brothers of the Red Flag," Greg said, shocked.<br/><br/>Bill gathered Namiha's arm gently.<br/><br/>"You're safe, ma'am," he said, wondering if someone like her could ever truly be safe when she was alone.   "Come by the fire."
