Rise of the White Flower - First date with lewd friend (21)

I haven't seen Jax yet, I better go make sure he is alright.

He is probably at his tavern.

What?

Hmm...

What?

Oh!

The fire hadn't got to the tavern, still the battle had taken its toll on it.

The tavern's walls were partially collapsed, the furniture were shattered and the interior was a mess of broken furniture.

This is our young man...

Drawing water from an ember well and throwing it on the streets to clean all the blood from the neatly arranged stone.

What the fuck Jax?

Oh!

Ok.

Hmm...

He was drinking, poor Jax.

Poor Jax.

Hmm...

Are you serious Jax?

What do you think would have happened if you stayed here when they did this?

I fought them all of course.

Oh!

Now listen here, all of you.

You might have been legionaries, you might have been some of the best ones too, I don't care.

You are all too old for this.

All plagued by wounds, you suffered so long ago that none of you even remember how you got them.

You did your duty to the Empire, you've protected us all so we could grow up.

Now is the time that you leave the fighting to the newer generations.
