"We are recovering. Thank you," Dae said solemnly and nodded, accepting Jayati's condolences for her pod.
Dae watched the dragon woman run her hand through her hair and tried not to let her thoughts stray to how much the movement flattered her features, showing Dae her neck and a glimpse of her ear. This was an official meeting discussing official business, not a time to be admiring someone's beauty.
"Thank you, Ms. Jayati," Dae said with another bow, appreciating that she recognized Dae's skill and that the Trench clan would not have sent anything but their best to rally to their support. "The honor would be mine to fight alongside you. I will pledge all the resources I have available."
