Warranted Agression

"I'm going to the capital soon and I'll be staying there for a few days." Clay said as he looked down from the top of the city walls.

"Did they call for you or is there something you need to do?" Rene asked.

"Both actually. Our families were all taken to the capital and I'd like to check in with my family. I've also been asked several times to attend a meeting with the Supreme Commander.

This is the only opening I've got so I have to go now. Captain Wenlow will be taking command of the city while I'm away." Clay explained.

"Okay. I don't want you to waste any time but could you check on my family as well? I'd really appreciate it..." Rene asked.

"Of course. Connor should be at the capital right now so I'll get his help with it if I have to."

"Thank you. I guess I'll see you when you get back then." Rene said with a bashful smile on her face as she turned and left.
