Avenger Returns (part two)

"Impressive." Nix sat comfortably at a round table set up outside of the Grand Elders tent. Within a few minutes of their arrival, the Ain'Dhassi presented an impressive feast with platters of meats, vegetables, and fruits.

Semmi could only nod her head. The blonde officer had immediately been swept away by a group of young Ain'Dhassi women. She returned a few minutes later with a wreath of flowers in her hair and a white dress. Semmi's pretty face was bright red with embarrassment.

[Whisper: Nix to Semmi] It looks like they are planning to marry you off.

[Whisper Semmi to Nix] Right. You aren't allowed to mention this ever again.

[Whisper: Nix to Semmi] No promises... You look nice though.

[Whisper: Semmi to Nix] Thanks.

Semmi was seated next to Del, directly across from Nix. It was hard not to notice the scout, even among the attractive Ain'Dhassi.
