Chapter 179: Testosterone Part 1

"What happened to you?" Clarence frowns as we enter Sampson's home. Qippert, Blovid, Jothkore, Vix and Sampson look up from where they've laid out a map on the bed. Clarence moves forward, scanning our disheveled appearances.

"Ludins," Tucker answers first, wiping his brow with the back of his hand.

"They attacked?"

"Not us," Able shakes his head, falling onto a red cushion in the corner, "each other. We were just lucky enough to be in the cross fire."

"Oh dear..." Blovid glances around, eyeing me in Reid's arms. "Fallon - were you hurt again?"

"They're just scratches," I say and Reid willingly places me on my feet. "I'm fine."

"She needs some Vilbrees."

"I've got it," Clarence reaches for the bowl, gesturing me to Sampson's bed. Blovid picks up the map and waves me onto to the red linen. I sit down and stretch my legs out in front of me, bending them slightly at the knees.

"And the rest of you?" Sampson asks.

"Fine," Tucker nods, "just a little frazzled."
