Next Morning

"Uhhhhh..." you groan out hard, rolling to the side, still feeling that warm naked body next to you "What the hell..." you grumble as you bring your hand up to your head, rubbing your forehead, feeling like ****.

"Mmm..." Ashe groans out next to you as well, rolling in your direction and curling her body in an almost fetal position. "Shhh...." the pain leaves her voice "Just...ugh."

"The hell was that, Ashe?" you mumble out, trying to keep your voice low as your head continues to throb with pain "What the hell happened?"

Another muffled groan escapes Ashe's lips as she inches her body closer to yours, bringing her head into the crevasse of your neck and shoulder, curling up with you "Intense night..." she let's out a little chuckle before groaning once more quickly after "Ugh...I don't know what hurts more."

"Huh?" questioning your High Commander

"We fucked a lot." she softly giggles "My head hurts, but so does my..." she clears her throat "Yeah...down there."

The two of you were still in the Murnic bath house but in a private room. You could still smell the feign haze in the air, still entering your bodies through breathing in "Yeah but, that smoke...that liquid. What the heck?" you question.

"Syndicate fun..." is all Ashe let's out, once more staying silent for a bit "Same shit that happens at The Scorcher."

"Never been..." you reply almost immediately "But that's some interesting shit I guess."

"Yeah, well...welcome to what usually happens in there." she laughs, burying her head into your side even more, trying to block out what little light is in the room.

"That shit played tricks on my vision..." you bring your hand to your forehead, gripping down on the side of your head, rubbing it slightly "It was so weird..."

"Yeah, the concoction we drank...it makes you hallucinate, makes your brain see things that aren't real. It's quite the hell of the ****. That mixed with the herbs which were burning and the warmth of the hot baths..." Ashe keeps her eyes closed and she pulls herself into you harder "A very interesting combination."

"I'll say..." you let out a huff of air "Although...you should..." your hand reaches around, placing it on her hip "I uhh..." you swallow "Ya know...inside you."

"I know." Ashe begins "I woke up earlier and took some medicine. Should be safe."

The two of you continue to lay in bed, holding each other close as you continue to rest the morning away. Knowing there isn't much else to do for the rest of the day until you leave the city of Murnic and head south just before the sun sets. You figured the best thing to do now is to continue to rest and get some extra sleep because after you travel through out the entire night, you'll be at Rathkin in the morning, and war will begin.
