Thomas Splint

Alexander had in the past eight to ten hours put himself repeatedly in danger, sometimes even under situations where he was all alone in the front leading a cavalry charge where just a stray arrow or a lucky spear strike could have ended him.

But he still did it, one- because it needed to be done and two- because the adrenaline was flowing right through him and he let his body make many decisions, not the brain.

But now his head was colling down and exhaustion taking over and he wanted the warmth of his lover to comfort him who was likely near.

This filled Alexander's heart with warmth.

Alexander then looked around and soon gave Grahtos instructions where to house the thousands of servants, "Tell the servants to occupy the servant quarters. If there is not enough space, then move them to the many empty rooms in the palace. Nobody is using them and leaving them empty is a waste. And even if that's not enough, relocate some of them to the barracks."

"As you command."
