Boss? Or Just Aegri?

Aegri frowned at the young outlaw. She was about to pull her head away in annoyance till… she didn't. Because she was too shocked by what she was seeing.

All professionalism in Ayse's demeanor was gone. There was a new air about him that was different than anything Aegri had seen from him. 

Ayse's uncovered eye stared back at her with warmth and openness. His smile was almost nonexistent, but the very corners of his lips arched upward in gentle acceptance. Ayse's body was relaxed with his hands behind his head. 

It didn't feel like a security guard and their employer standing in front of that wall of windows. And it couldn't feel like a noblewoman with a common man either. 

At that moment, there was Ayse and there was Aegri. An ambitious young man who may or may not be in over his head. And a youthful elven woman who was caught gazing into the dymensional abyss after dining on commoner cuisine just a few minutes ago.
