Summary
She’d later not be able to say what made her whisper into the heavy silence – perhaps there was no conscious intent behind it at all, but simply the most honest desire of her heart, spoken aloud for the first time.
“He’s killing himself… I wish he’d get a chance to escape this bureaucratic hellhole. At least for a while… Gods know he deserves it.”
If she hadn’t been so distracted and plagued by concern, still reeling with the emotions in the wake of their conversation, the Warrior of Light might have remembered the magic lamp in her backpack. Might have remembered that it would be listening for even the smallest wish that slipped her tongue. Might have noticed that the lamp issued a mischievous, gleeful wisp of aether, evanescing into the shadows of the Lord Commander’s office as she rose from the chair, making her way to the exit.
Yet she didn’t. Neither could she have conceived, even in her wildest dreams, the repercussions her carelessly voiced wish would wreak upon the man she secretly admired above all others.

Summary
“Is my husband available?” There was a saucy kind of smile on her lips.
“For you, always. Aye – he’s inside. As far as I know, there are no important meetings on his schedule,” the veteran replied seamlessly and then threw his partner a withering scowl to get himself under control, because he was still blatantly ogling her.
“Wonderful,” she said, her grey eyes glittering with something so wicked, it made the young guard blush scarlet. She didn’t seem to notice – with a determined motion she stepped to the door, and a moment later she had disappeared behind it into the office.
