"Dax do you have a minute?"
"..."
"Commander."
"..."
"Dax?"
Lux was currently witnessing something strange, no it could even be considered absurd under the circumstances. Dax, her superior, leader of the most elite force in the Galactic Empire and known as the living incarnation of death was sitting motionlessly in the warm sand, looking at Mare, the beastkin Lux had freed from the sick gladiatorial fights in the Rochdale kingdom. Mare also stood motionless looking back at Dax with her large brown eyes that darted around and inspected his face as her large fox like ears on top of her head were focused solely on him. After observing the strange spectacle for over a minute Lux decided to get Dax's attention by walking over to him, but stopped in her tack as Mare started slowly closing the gap between her and Dax.
(What the hell is going on?)
