Paying with Cassian

"I have to say, you've got magical hands," Rowena remarked as Cassian finished massaging her legs. "I've never felt this weightless in my feet and legs before. No wonder Katherine's taking you with her."

Cassian would have liked to continue massaging her thighs, but they were approaching their destination—something he was blissfully unaware of. At least he was still alive, which was a relief. For now, he focused on surviving after a near-death experience only hours before—his second one in just a few months.

His immediate goal was to keep a low profile and find a way to learn a sword technique or something that could help him survive future dangerous situations.
