Chapitre 154: THIRTY FIVE: Golden Glare

"Is there a problem with that?"

A surly voice came from behind Kel as she stared uneasily at her assigned bed. 

"Ah, Sir!" the assigner hurriedly nodded.

Kel followed the man's lead and whirled around with her head bowed.

"No problem, Sir," she stated, eyes glued to the pair of large leather boots in front of her.

"Alright, then," the voice replied. "Captain, when you're finished here, please come see me."

"Yes, Sir," the assigner responded.

Kel remained fixated on the ground until the thudding of the leather boots faded. She needed to be more careful from now on. Catching the attention of the higher-ups was a recipe for disaster.

"Commander Blaser seems scary, but he's actually a bit of a softie once you get to know him," the assigner grinned to Kel as she slowly turned back around. 

Kel offered the best half smile she could muster in return. "Ah.. right."

"Now, go ahead and get settled for the night."
