An involuntary smile spread across Sanders’ face as Teagan complimented his undeniably beautiful fiance. “Exactly why I have to get home!” He agreed before he reclaimed his picture of Maeve and tucked it back into his uniform.
Sanders was already taken with the friendly and easy-going nature of his rescuer.
Rescuer?
How quickly he was ready to just give up and be saved. He took a few hobbling steps back towards the fire and carefully lowered himself back to the ground. The action looked almost like he failed at his turn of limbo. He leaned back and let himself sort of fall onto his hand and then carefully eased to the ground careful not to jostle his leg anymore than it needed to be.
His head jerked curiously towards her. “Queen?” He frowned and squinted one eye as he tried to recall who this Queen Julianna Maxillion was. Sanders wasn’t an expert on world politics and came up with a blank. He recognized the name but couldn’t exactly place it. A little embarrassed by his lack of knowledge, he just let that slide, he could always try to pick up hints rather than admit his ignorance.
What he did know was that the CAF and the Veridian Isles were always sort of tense with one another. Not outright enemies. Not outright allies. Just a tense agreement to co-exist until someone crossed a line with the other. The CAF always seemed to be tempting the Isles to toe that line as an excuse to lash out and take them over. That was all Sanders knew about the relationship.
So, of course, it was odd to hear that the Queen of the Veridian Isles had sent a crew expressly to rescue him.
“Maybe you have made a mistake?” He offered this so gently and politely in a voice one might use with a waiter to correct an error they made without offending them. “There’s just no way that she could have known I was here. And why would she -” he shook his head, “-it just doesn’t make any sense. And there is nothing I can offer to the Queen. Well, um, actually, am I going to be taken as a prisoner of war?”
