Another Storm

"Take care, Prime Arys," said the woman and flew away after checking the thing in the box.

"Do you know what that was?" he asked me angrily.

"Prime Carter. You should understand that I have done you a favor. Without me, you would have died without a doubt."

"So, I would really appreciate it. If your tone is a little grateful," I replied sternly, looking directly into the man's eyes.

She had agreed not to kill, only because of me. Given her power, she could have killed him and me. If not for my strangeness stopping her.

The anger intensified in his eyes, but lasted for a fraction of a second before they turned calm.

"My apologies, Prime Arys. Losing that thing, I got after risking my life, had made me lose control over my emotions," he apologized.

"It's fine. I would have felt the same," I replied with a sigh.

I didn't let escalate it further. I am living in his organization and didn't want to shift yet, despite many offers.
