Alexander returned to camp just before the time of dinner. After asking around at the brothel, he was right where he started as no one knew where Rose had run off to. If he had been a little earlier to find her, then he would have seen her before she disappeared.
Alexander headed to a nearby stream to be alone and to wash up. He couldn't leave tomorrow to search for her as he had to speak to his commander about meeting with the king. Rose could be anywhere right now. All alone with no one to help her.
Alexander stooped down to dip his hand in the cold water. He needed the coldness to wake him up.
"There you are. The barrels have been rolled out for us to have a good drink tonight," Mathias said, his mood better after the day he had.
Being seduced by women was what they should be doing now instead of thinking about Rose. Mathias would love to go back into the arms of the woman who seduced him. If Alexander would just wake up, he would have some fun too.
