"Captain, you're leaving by yourself, to visit a small village, in the jungle?" Zariah, pulled me aside after I walked into the tavern, noticing how all the young men, were drinking beer and started eating like pigs.
"Don't worry I'll be fine, I just have some business to do there. Take advantage of this break." I patted her shoulder, and her nails dug into my arms, as I started walking away. Turning back to look into her green eyes, I reached for her hand, unclasping her hands from me.
"Captain, this isn't a place to run around in, you should take more than one person with you. Zayn may be a great bodyguard, but the people here, are dangerous... I've met them before." She went silent, and I stared at her, before pulling her in a hug.
"I'm not going far. I've also been there before, and the person that I'm traveling with isn't just a regular person." I whispered the words into her ear, glancing at Zayn who had his arms crossed.
