Flirting aside, the couple had a satisfying lunch with a bit of dessert squeezed in.
They went to the barracks after a short rest—which turned to over an hour because of Garan's incessant flirting.
Frankly, it would have lasted longer if Althea wasn't so vehement in her practice. Anyway, Althea absolutely would not rest until she practiced more so Garan could only give way.
The new formal barracks arranged by Garan was a large 3-hectare barracks and military area near the west gate. It was close to the industrial and agricultural areas, so it was much quieter than the rest of the territory.
It was too big for the current forces at this time, but it was big enough that even if Altera hired another thousand troops, it could house them comfortably.
