Johanna leaned her body against Gabriel again, sighing happily as she rested her chin on his shoulder. She didn't know why she felt it was safe here with him. It was like when she was so close to him, the capital could never touch her. She just listened as he washed her back. The water was soothing as it feel from the scrubby.

"Gabriel, can I keep you?" She giggled, half kidding and half not. The only reason the capital let him be so close to a victor without pay was his 'powers'. They gave him what he wanted so he wouldn't mess with their government.
