Alex woke up and sat up groaing from how sore he was. Nero sat up and said "how do you feel" Alex responded "I feel terrible thanks for asking" Nero said "hey don't get mad at me, I'm your guardian after all." Alex said "sorry, I'm just annoyed that I'm getting punished for not capturing three strays and a deserter, just because they would give me any more soldiers or even any higher ranking soldiers."
Nero then said "it's like they want you to fail."
Alex's looked at Nero and said "what did you say"
Nero said "I said it's like they want you to fail."
