Living in a cocoon safe from everyone else, Theron and Solana had gotten closer than ever during their break.
However, they found that what made the moments so sweet was the fact that they would eventually have to come to an end.
Both people were hard workers under Basileus and Varya. For them to leave their duties behind for so long was unheard of and they were approaching the part of their break where they had become stir crazy.
By the time their third week away was coming to an end, Theron decided he should start reacquainting himself with the men on the freighter's schedules. He had taken the afternoon to walk around.
Being away from Solana and feeling more protective than ever, Theron had brought a wrist communication device with him. He wasn't expecting Basileus to be the one who called him.
It was time for him to head back to Solana anyway. He stepped away from the training center and into an empty hallway.
