21. Ekatrina (End) - Different
Epilogue;
Arzed POV:
"Damn...fucking.....nation..... that was way harder and closer than it had any right to be," Arzed said as he unbuttoned his uniform, tossed his cap on the desk, and grabbed a bottle of something strong to drink.
Arzed was sitting down in his office located on the side administrative building of the prison. For a title as presumptuous as First Warden of the Alizthea Essentialist prison, his office wasn't much to look at. Just four walls a window and a desk, if he made them attach one bunk bed to the wall the place would be indistinguishable from one of the cells in the prison building.
"Nah I am being overly dramatic but those old farts at the board are probably waiting for me to fail, besides it is bigger than a cell and I can at least get out when I want to, still some decorations would not be too much to ask right?" Arzed said in a whisper as he stared at the door while sipping his drink, knowing that someone scary would be heading here soon to bite his head off and thus he was just enjoying a few minutes of peace before he had to deal with one of her lectures.
Knock, knock, knock
Sigh.... "Come in"
Fiona entered the small office and if looks could kill he was pretty sure this one would be lethal, but there was also something off about her, she was someone who tended to maintain an immaculate image of herself, but right now she looked slightly disheveled. Fiona had a slight problem or it might be better to call it a quirk, she was a perfectionist, which was usually an excellent quality to have on a subordinate, but whenever something went wrong she tended to overanalyze her mistakes, which due to her past was understandable. The problem was that sometimes she took it a bit too far and developed some guilt around her mistakes which led to a never-ending cycle of overwork to make stuff be as perfect as they could be. The mistake she was now blaming herself probably, and for which he was expecting a lecture, was Ekatrina's almost successful escape attempt.
If the woman knew how close she had been to actually escaping she would probably be pulling her hair out by herself and would not have needed the haircut that Arzed had given her. The only reason she did not seem overly frustrated with being captured is that she probably did not think she would be successful in her attempt. The thing was that Ekatrina didn't know that a skeleton crew was operating the prison due to their low budget and that most of the guards had taken to their rooms for a rest after their long journey. This meant that all the security was left in his and Fiona's hands. Sure the woman would have probably died in the desert, but she was a strong essence user, so who knew what she was capable of doing out there, naked or not. Just thinking about the possibility made Arzed develop cold sweat all over his body.
