"Oh? He likes you watching, I see." she said, slapping the master on his behind again. "It's as if he wishes that you join to play with him. What do you think?" she asked the guard, whose cold eyes turned colder.

"The city is burning." he said and the couple on the bed paused.

"What?" they asked in unison.

"The city is burning. All of it. Many have died." the guard said.
