This will be a two man mission. Saracen, we need you here because of your ability, and because everyone else was busy with more important stuff. Do try not to get too cosy with this one." Meritorious punctuated the last sentence with an exasperated sigh, as Saracen was known for having a way with people.
A few minutes later, a sandy haired man strolled through the door, smiling nonchalantly as if there wasn't a war on.
Saracen rose. Meritorious stayed seated.
"Saracen, meet Dexter. Dexter, Saracen."
Rue took a moment to observe him in all his glory. Wait, what? Where has that come from? The man with chiseled abs wasn't Glorio-. Wait. Chiseled abs? Saracen sighed, shrugged.
"Hey bae."
"Hey babe."
"Looking good there."
"You too, you work out?"
"Only on the weekend", Rue winked.
Meritorious looked up and nodded sagely.
"Yup. You're both insane. Out of my office."
