Surprise Solace

The two knights went down the stone steps and to the midpoint of the tower where they would be sleeping that night. 

Henry sighed as he sat down on one of the beds. It felt good to have somewhere comfortable to sit again. He was easy to adjust to any situation no matter how uncomfortable but to be in a bed again was going to be nice. 

"Don't get too comfortable," the commander said. "We're not done yet." 

Henry looked at the commander who was surprisingly taking off his armor despite his words. Yet the older knight didn't stop there and Henry had to divert his eyes. 

  The commander started removing the dark tunic he wore and undoing the belt at his waist. His large sword fell to the ground with a large thud and he started kicking off his boots and removing his pants.

"What in the world!?" Henry asked, caught completely off guard. 

"Take off your clothes or I'm going to the hot springs by myself," the commander said.
