Ashlein Praxis slowly woke up from what seemed to her a good nights rest, she turned over to see Torn still sleeping and smiled to herself. She proceeded to snuggle into him before planting a small kiss on his cheek in hoping he'll wake up. Torn wrapped his arm around and pulled Ashlein closer to him before returning a kiss on her forehead.

"Morning hon, You're up earlier than usual today" Torn whispered gently.

"Considering how great I slept I'm just eager to get up and just spend some time with you Handsome" Ashlein replied smirking while massaging Torns arms.

Torn chuckled and kissed Ashlein deeply before deciding to get up to open the curtains. He was surprised to see the streets of Haven City fully covered in fields of white snow, he couldn't help but look in awe as the snow kept falling slowly towards the ground. Ashlein got out of bed and joined Torn to see what caught his eye.

"I haven't seen this much snow for a very long time" He said smiling.

"Looks like todays gonna be quite interesting. I'm gonna send some KG Units to deliver food for each sector, it makes me wonder how Jak and Keira will react." Ashlein spoke in response.

Torn couldn't help but chuckle and turned to his wife wrapping his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Well Dear I'll get myself ready to give the order to our men." Torn explained smiling while looking into Ashlein's eyes.

He felt so content just being with her for so long after all they've been through. From fighting Metal Heads and rogue deathbots to racing in Kras City alongside their trusted friends.

"Right Commander Torn, let's get our asses in gear and help out today!" Ashlein said in a boss like tone.

Torn saluted her and proceeded downstairs to have a quick shower along with setting his KG uniform out, Ashlein got her uniform out aswell while her husband was getting washed.

Roughly an hour later the duo made their way to the Throne room gathering the captains of the KG to give out the orders required of them.

"Alright listen up everyone! I want you to bring food supplies to each sector! It seems the snow has hindered alot of areas especially the slum sector."

Torn explained whilst handing out paper assigning various KG squads to each sector while also making sure the soldiers that were unassigned to patrol routes around the city to ensure citizens were safe and also keep them from slacking off. Ashlein stood in front of the KG captains with Torn by her side, the captains knew how dedicated she was to ensure that citizens were safe and making sure those who dare to break the law were punished.

"You have your orders men. It's gonna be a long day but rest assured we will ensure that our people are safe and looked after!" Ashlein raised her voice in a stern but professional tone.

"We'll stick to a routine in each sector while also switching captains now and then to also make sure that each and everyone of you are well rested! Now are there any questions?"

The captains shooked their heads in response while they all stood up straight. Ashlein took this as a no and smiled knowing the city is in good hands and then shouted

"Good. You're dismissed!"

She saluted to the captains and they returned the favor before proceeding to exit the palace while packing the food supplies on their hellcats ready for deployment.

Ashlein sighed in relief as she sat down on her throne with Torn standing next to her, she couldn't help but smile at her husband and she opened her arms out to him. He responed by hugging her close to his chest while smiling away at her.

"You're a fantastic leader. The men look up to you and they know you care for the people. It gives them more than enough reason to help those in need."

Torn said while rubbing his lovers back Ashlein giggled and responded with a small kiss

"Did you practice that line?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

The commander of the KG pulled his own face and laughed.

"I know it was cheesy as hell but hey it is an honest statement Honey" he said as he let go of Ashlein.

"We should maybe contact Jak and check up on him, maybe ask his verdict on the weather"

Ashlein said while standing up from her throne stretching her arms and yawning rubbing her eyes gently.

"Looks like someone needs a nap." Torn playfully said to his wife as if she was a child.

She responded by playfully punching his shoulder and then said

"You're lucky I'm a little drowsy otherwise I'd have you do 20 laps around the city in this weather while wearing nothing but shorts."

Torn snorted in response

"I'd rather not. I ain't risking frost bite!"

Ashlein replied back

"Well maybe I'll send you on sewer patrol with Jinx."

Torn thought for a minute and then said

"Actually I'd rather have frostbite over a bad stench any day and I'm not talking about the sewers here!"

Ashlein bursted out in laughter before proceeding to hug Torn. "Now you're just being mean Torn."

Ashlein playfully berated her husband while he tried to keep himself from laughing.

"Yeah well you try working with a guy who forgets to use deodrant, surprisingly Daxter's got better hygiene standards than Jinx and that's saying something!"

The couple couldn't help but laugh at the conversation they were having.

"Ok Honey, we should check in on Jak and Keira. They're probably doing just fine but it never hurts to check" Ashlein said while holding Torns hand.

"Agreed. Let's do this then maybe I can get some quiet time with you." Torn winked at her while slowly walking out of the throne room.

"Maybe if you're well behaved" Ashlein replied giggling with Torn blushing slightly.

"Aren't I always though Ashlein?" He asked tilting his head smirking.

The couple began to laugh while they happily held hands and made their way to the palace garage.
