Chapitre 38: Chapter 38

Rose was surprised by the empty bowls before her. She didn't intend to eat all the stew and rice but once she got started and found it to be delicious, she could not stop herself.

"Well, this land brings interesting things. I've seen the day when a rabbit enjoyed eating one of its own. I will have them set aside enough for you to eat more of the stew in the morning and they will leave whatever they cook for you at the door tomorrow. I must go," Zayne said as it was getting late.

If the sky got any darker before he decided to return to camp, it increased the risk of someone ambushing him. While he would love to see Rose go to her room and close the door, if he did not return soon the soldiers would get worried.

"I will wash the bowls before I go to bed," Rose said, standing up with Zayne to walk him to the door.
