"So that's what happened," Samuel exclaims.
Esfir's story about the organization seemed to be straight of some fantasy novel. A mysterious force shows up and the protagonists came to combat them into a battle of good and evil. The formula had been used in many forms and Samuel knew people can never get tired of them. Oh wait, was he generalizing?
"Yes. They overthrew the government."
Samuel only gave Esfir a stare.
"You don't talk like a kid, you know."
Esfir only smiled.
It was the truth; Esfir was the only talkative child among all of them and she seemed to be the only one to know about Aikhtiar the best of all. Although there are lots of gray areas, Samuel was still impressed with this child's ability to convey so deliberately and comprehensively.
If she was this smart, then she should know best of all what would happen to them. They were slaves, after all.
If she was really naïve... that is.
