The Decisive Dinner

Mt. Dakun,  Rebellion-Held Aviye

Zai

Zai blushed deeply as the passion in Amri's kiss made her forget for just a second that they were in a room surrounded by some of the most important people in the Revolution.

Her confession of love made Zai realize that they'd never actually said those words to each other despite having a relationship.

"I love you too," she replied, giggling nervously before remembering the room. "Come, sit. I'll grab another seat." Zai stood aside to let Amri take her chair before accepting a seat from the Lieutenant in charge of setting up the room.

By the time she was set up, Councilwoman Yun had caught Amri's ear.

"You missed a rather remarkable speech by Commander Zai. She's certainly proving to be a woman of integrity," Yun said, raising her voice slightly so Zai would hear as the Commander sat.
