Humans’ Limits 0390- One hand to cover the world

The systems of the Dark Arrow worked with discretion, leaving silence to linger in most parts of the ship, especially in the hall at the back of the bridge.

Two forms were entertained on the throne against the wall, but as the time that had passed almost reached one hour, Lucas broke the silence, speaking in a soft voice, a voice just for Estrella to hear:

"Do you have anything you want to do before we leave?"

Estrella didn't speak, but he felt her smooth hair move with her headshake. He breathed in her scent, before he took back his hand from her soft side, his reluctance hidden away.

"Then let's go. Let's show the hand that can cover the sky, and see whether I will have to go after the heads I asked for myself."

The bloody words did not provoke much reaction from Estrella. She nodded, and stood up from his lap. She gave him one look, before tidying herself up, and turning to walk to the command seat.
