The few hours that Khan managed to spend with Liiza felt terrific. The couple had to experience that separation after almost cohabitating for months. One week wasn't long at all, but it had hurt nonetheless. Their attachment wasn't completely natural in the end.

Khan and Liiza exchanged tight hugs, sweet words whispered in each other's ears, and long kisses that often ended in meaningful stares. They couldn't go any further with Azni and Doku in the tent, but they couldn't remain alone either since the two Niqols were their alibi. Still, their eyes told everything they needed to say.

Doku never fully got over the issue. He had managed to suppress his thoughts for a long time, and Liiza's boyfriend wasn't an important matter either, but his identity could cause serious issues. The Niqols were investing a lot of trust in Khan, but his relationship with the daughter of their main ambassador could create reasonable doubts about his actual motives.
