(149) A Married Man

He walked back into his tent and leaned down beside the sleeping Sindri.

"Hey, Sindri, it's time to wake up." Geth carefully moved the hair out of her eyes and whispered.

Her eyes slowly opened up, and she gazed at him. A sleepy smile soon shone on her face.

"I'm glad that you're okay."

Geth raised one of his eyebrows, 'Was I ever not okay?'

"Umm, thanks... I think."

She giggled and sat up, causing the furs to fall off her barely covered body. Geth admired the view for a moment before turning his head.

"You should go ahead and get dressed. We're about to head out."

The girl giggled again as Geth headed walked out of the tent. He shook his head softly.

'That's nothing but trouble,' He couldn't help but sigh at the missed opportunity. He was still a man, after all.
