Gilas and Clara continued to travel in a carriage along with Shila on their way back to the Capital City. The sun was almost down, and with the moon already peeking up from beyond the treeline, it was clear that they were running way off schedule.
And to make matters worse for the two of them, Lady Shila had clearly noticed something different between the two. Clara could only sigh as she fought the urge to blush in embarrassment as the older woman kept on grilling them for answers, even though it was less grilling and more implying that it had already happened.
"You two look rather refreshed," Shila giggled as she sat opposite them in the carriage. "Why, I could only assume that you two had a good night's rest last night. Unless… you two did the deed right before we left?."
