"Bloody Lethargic"
Kyoku
Ugh, the trees were so depressing, they were threatening Bluefield's job.
"Unnnhh…" went the kid on my back.
I made sure to keep her from falling. (Slightly hard to do while walking.) "Rise and shine, sunny," I muttered.
"Mmm?" Morgan looked around, bleary-eyed. "Where am…?"
"On my back, ma'am," I said.
"What…?"
"Well, we're heading back to camp. You didn't come back from your sentry post, so I came to bring you back. Pretty sure a good tactician avoids sleeping on the job."
She laced her arms over my shoulders. "Oh… Whoops. Heh-heh… Dad's gonna… Oh, man…"
"Geez, you sound bloody lethargic." I looked at her face. "Have you been staying up all night or something?"
"Uhhhhh…"
"Morgan."
"Well, maybe a little. Does playing Nidhogg with Vespyr count?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so that was Ves. I was wondering why there was a fencing game in my games library now."
"Eh-heh… Sorry about that."
"Wh—It's not your fault, kid. You're not in trouble. Unless…" My eyes narrowed. "…you broke something on my stuff and I haven't found out?"
"No, don't think so…"
"All right, then."
She still sounded bloody lethargic.
