---- from me.

Gripping the edge of the tub, I struggle to pull myself out of the water.

I step out to only find myself dripping with water.

Here.

This may help.

He offers me a towel and I take it from his hands.

Our fingers brush past.

T - thank you, Sir.

He nods walking away, indirectly meaning for me to follow hin.

Rubbing the towel on my neck, face and arms.

I was relieved to know the white tape on my chest wasnt showing.

My clothes were sticking to me but it was nothing my cloak couldn't handle: I step after him into his room and I just stand there awkwardly, not knowing where to sit.

We may be far from the city but the room didn't lack any luxuries.

Plush rugs ---- eee Chandelier.

Four-poster bed.

Silk beddings Ornate Furniture.

He drapes a navy blue silk robe around his body, busy tying the knot and I can't stop my eyes from drifting lower to stare at the chest hair peeking at me through the robes deep V.

Lighten up Robin.

Let's enjoy the night.

T-I don't drink, Sir.

His glass stops mid-air and he looks at me You don't? I shake my head in a no and rub my freezing hands together.

No, Sir.

Tle scoffs, looking at me in annoyance and then ---- eee = chugging the entire glass in one go.

You don't have any problem passive smoking from the mouth of another recruit, yet you have a problem drinking a glass with your commander.

My mind goes blank.

How...

how does he know about that? Only me and Lucas were there.

Is he going to punish me? Is this why I am here? Oh gosh! I should have known his eyes were everywhere.

He is going to find out anyway.

Listen to me, Sir.

It wasn't the way it looked.

I didn't want to- He shows me his hand, taking away my chance to even tell him the truth.

His features screamed disinterest.
