Original X-roads-2003

    “I got men to train.” I started to walk out.
    “The men can wait.” Sertoff warned.
    I stopped at the door and looked back.
    “Yeah, I think we need to discuss some things.” Casandra sat on the floor.
    I reached for the doors and shut them, then sat down.
    “Royalty really shouldn’t do manual labor, it just doesn’t look good.” Jabetto joked.
    I stuck my tongue out at him.
    “Why don’t you come up here Jasylin.” Sertoff motioned for me to come forward.
    I looked around, as if he was talking to someone else like that then got up and sat down near him.
    We all sort of looked at each other for a while.
    “You know it isn’t going to take long for the word to get out what happened here.” Cas sighed.
    “Population will grow, now that Kilji’s dead” Daemon added.
    Sertoff glanced at me.
    “It sounds like responsibility to me.” I looked back at him.
    “Yeah and a big hunk of it is going to come with the coming war,” Jabetto shook his head. “We’ll be expected to do more being leaders of a world.”
