      After the Battle

      "Everything will start tomorrow again! Do you understand it?" Lis said looking at Orel seriously. They returned to their rooms at 'Backara' to have some rest and lick their wounds. Orel sat in his armchair at the head of the table. His face was pale, he held his damaged eye with his right hand.

      "I understand everything," he said tiredly.

      Nikto and Asa talked quietly in Unclean over wounded Tol. Nikto said something pointing at the deep cut on Asa's side. She sat down on the sofa, at Tol's feet, and took off her ruined vest. The cut was not bleeding, it was smeared with the ointment in time; it looked much better than Tol's ragged wounds but still it wasn't too good. Not embarrassed at all that she was sitting with her breasts bare in front of them, Asa raised her arm for Nikto to examine her wound. He squatted in front of her, started preparing a thread and a needle.

      "Now she'll have a scar on her side," Lis said. "Why don't you apply 'sama'?"

      "She can't bear it. She still isn't restored after her overdose," Nikto said without looking aside.

      He pierced Asa's dark beautiful skin and started sewing the cut neatly. Asa tensed with pain, screwed her eyes shut but didn't make a sound.

      Lis turned to Orel again.

      "Orel, what shall we do?" he asked.

      "A stupid question, Lis. We'll fight." Orel poured a full glass of wine.

      "Can you drink?"

      "Of course I can, for fuck's sake! I'm not drinking with my eye!" Orel emptied the glass in a few gulps. "I don't know how Squint-Eye manages to fight but if not for Nikto standing by me, I wouldn't be sitting with you here! It would be my last fight today!"

      "Arel, I'll finish with Asa and deal with you," Nikto turned to him.

      "Don't hurry, I'm all right."

      "Shit, I want to fuck Asa," Lis said. "This Unclean bitch arouses me."

      "Do you want me to translate it?" Nikto laughed.

      "No," Lis came up to them, squatted near to Nikto and passed his hand over Asa's arm gently. She flinched and opened her eyes. Lis looked at her with his eyes full of sympathy, his face was sad.

      "I'm so sorry," he said in Unclean. He looked very upset. "You were very brave in the fight. You helped us so much!" He shook his head in distress. "I'm so sorry you are wounded."

      "It's okay," Asa said, "don't worry about me."

      "Yes, you're right," Lis smiled at her. "You're so beautiful no scar will spoil you." He reached and touched her dark-brown nipple with his lips gently. She laughed, pushed him away but did it lightly.

      "Lis, I haven't done yet!" Nikto shouted at him.

      "Finish quicker, I can't wait to do it," Lis laughed speaking in Black. Nikto didn't answer, he finished sewing the wound and smeared it with the ointment.

      "Asa dear, let me dress your wound, I want to help you," Lis's voice was sweet like honey.

      "No," Asa said.

      "But why?" Lis was in despair. "Don't you trust me? Do you trust Nikto more, do you like him more? Tell me and I'll leave you alone."

      "I like Tol," Asa said.

      "But Tol is sleeping and he won't wake up soon, let me dress your wound, let me!"

      "No."

      Nikto prepared the bandage and Asa got up, raised her arms for him to be more comfortable to do it.

      "You're so cruel!" Lis was getting angry. "I'm ready to do anything for you and I don't want to give me such a small joy."

      "Lis, fuck off," Asa snorted.

      "Shit!" Lis slammed his fist against the table. "Shit!"

      Orel raised his head.

      "Go get a wench if you need it so!" he growled. "Just don't make a noise, for gods' sake! My head is splitting!"

      "I don't want a wench! I want this beast!"

      Nikto laughed. "Hold back your tongue, she understands a little in Black."

      "Oh fuck," Lis covered his mouth.

      "Maybe I can be your friend," Asa drawled, "but you can't count on anything more."

      "Fine, fine," Lis became submissive again. "I agree to anything, my queen!"

      Asa smiled to him indulgently.

      "You have a funny accent," Nikto said. "Did you learn Unclean among Reds?"

      "Yes. Frankly speaking, I thought I forgot it but no. When I need it, it comes back."

      "Lis, you want to a fight with Tol, right?" Orel asked.

      "No, I don't. He won't even know," Lis sat at the table and smoked. "Like Enriki doesn't know everyone fucks his sister," he laughed.

      "What a bastard you are!" Orel leaned back in the chair.

      "So what?" Lis shrugged. "Does it trouble you?"

      "No," Orel winced in pain. Nikto came up to him, sat down on the table.

      "Let me see," he said.
