"Hey, Jarxen!" Julia Ventio called out one morning while Jarxen was having a late breakfast in the cafeteria.
It had been a few days since the Elite Conquests happened and Jarxen lost all his recruits in the Inside. Julia presumed Jarxen was still mourning his loss and she was exactly right. Jarxen was mulling over the fact that there was a chance all his recruits could escape to the Outside. But then again, there's a higher probability that all of them would die trapped in the Inside.
"Julia, you done eating?" Jarxen responded with a straight face.
"Yeah, how're you holding up?" Julia cut to the chase and asked him as she sat adjacent to him.
"I've had worse. At least I didn't see them die in front of my eyes." Jarxen replied, taking in another mouthful of his steak.
