"How did it go?" Ramil called.
"Would you believe it: he threatened to lock me up in his mother's house if I didn't behave!" exclaimed Yelena, sticking her tongue out at Melletin. "I threw a roll at him and he clipped me around the ear. The soldiers were all about to beat him up when I burst into tears and begged his forgiveness. We had a passionate reconciliation and went on our way with their good wishes for our marital harmony."
Melletin rubbed his lips. "Where's the next checkpoint, Yelena? I can't wait to do that again."
"Watch it, sir: I'll report you," Yelena threatened, but she looked very pleased all the same.
