Oliver finally sighed aloud as he looked at Vukan. "So, you are assuring me that nothing happened last night when you changed my clothes?"
Vukan nodded his head continuously until he could feel the sprain in his neck. "It was either the clothes went off or you would have frozen to death and I couldn't allow that to happen… especially not on my watch after all we went through at the bridge".
Thoughts of the bridge and how Vukan had saved him prompted some belief from Oliver towards the boy. More so, Vukan had been kind enough to sleep on the floor, rather than impose that they shared the single bed. He felt inclined to believe him and not just that, but respect him some more.
"Thank you for being such a gentleman", Oliver said.
Vukan sighed in relief and finally took a spot beside Oliver.
