Roxana changed into dry clothes but her linen was still wet. The only thing she could do was squeeze the water out of it and put them on again. The clothes she burrowed were larger than usual and she had to fold the arms and legs of the shirt and the trousers. Then taking her weapons she went to get some food. The other guards wondered what happened to the king but Roxana had so much on her mind that she didn't feel like going through the details. She summarized everything into two sentences and then went to eat her food. 

After she was done, she headed back to stay with the king. Gary smiled upon her arrival when he saw her in the baggy clothes. "Oh Rox. You are so little." 

If he only knew. She wasn't little for a woman. Just for a man. 

"Will you be alright staying with him alone?" 

She nodded. "Yes. Take your time. I will stay here."
