Althea laughed as well, grey eyes sparkling with relief. "Nah, I still should've asked you if I wanted a kiss. It was kind of out of line." She smirked. "Maybe next time I'll do better."

Stella blushed again but smiled, “Yeah, maybe…”

Althea patted the ground beside her, signaling for Stella to sit down. "Come sit with me! I really wasn't kidding about being bored, and you're definitely the best thing that's happened all day. Tell me how you valiantly almost escaped the soldiers or what you were reading in your book or… anything really. I'm kind of desperate."

Stella laughed and sat next to Althea on the floor, "Ummm, the fight wasn't too interesting…I threw some of my knives which hit one soldier in the gut but the others got deflected by the other soldiers armor."

"I mean, better one guy than nothing at all!" Althea joked, shooting Stella a conspirational look before she leaned in and whispered "And between you and me, I think some of those Greek soldiers really had it coming. Not to complain, but that guy from the bakery was kind of a douche."

Stella raised an eyebrow, smiling softly, "Agreed."

"On a different note, how long do you think this trip is going to take? Because if I have to stay down here for a whole day, I'm going to scream." Althea kept her tone joking to hide the worry she'd been feeling since she'd been thrown down here. Stella was a great distraction from the way the walls seemed to be closing in, but now that things were calming down Althea could practically feel the space shrinking.

“I suppose it should only take a few hours…” Stella said, thinking about it for a second.

Althea breathed a sigh of relief, grinning cheerfully at Stella's answer. Thank the gods! She'd been worried they would be trapped down here for days. For once, she was glad their town was close to the front line. "Good! I mean, I'm all for fighting this war, but it's fucking gross down here. They could've chucked down some posters or some board games or something to make the ride a little nicer."
