Chapter 207: Meeting Tent mates
"What was my father talking about?" He queried.
Something about the way Gamma Rhett had spoken to Cullen made Kylo feel uneasy. And the way he spoke like he was a bad influence or something, piqued his curiosity. He needed to know more. There was obviously something more to the conversation than his father or Cullen were letting on.
Cullen glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, grinning mysteriously before speaking with a cryptic tone. "Nothing to worry your handsome little head over." After saying that, he turned his gaze to the camp, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Let’s go meet our new tent mates."
And with that, he took the lead, walking forward. Kylo stared at his back, blinking awkwardly before releasing a frustrated groan from his mouth. With a sigh, he followed after Cullen, his eyes wandering around the campgrounds.
The camp was surrounded by trees... all standing tall with their thick leaves and branches casting a shadow over the camp. Several tents were dotted around the camp, and enlisters were already moving in and out of them while chattering among themselves.
Cullen led them to a table where one of the high-ranking soldiers sat comfortably, writing down some things and signing a few documents. But then, he raised his head when he heard the approaching footsteps of the two men, staring at them curiously from under his glasses.
"Good morning, soldier." Cullen grinned coyly, giving the soldier a wink. The man’s eyes joined together into a frown, but he quickly rushed to raise his hands.
"I and my... Friend, are here to sign in and be shown our tents." He said that with a confident look on his face.
Kylo hated how silent he was while he let Cullen yap away. So, he finally spoke with haste. "If you could do that immediately, that’d be great."
