{A few minutes before Jack and Wolfe's conversation}
Talia and Roden led the first transport of loot from Heinz's camp back to their main camp while Jim stayed behind with the thralls and some of the slaves to continue clearing the camp.
Roden followed Talia so he could begin his duty of keeping an eye on the mercenaries while they worked.
Sitting in the off-road car that they were using Roden stared at the two blades on his legs.
He was still trying to decide if he should really let go of his mother's fighting style.
The same way everyone had a parent they were closer to; he was also closer to his mother than he was with his father.
He was so close to her that he had picked up a sword the moment he could lift one and joined his mother whenever she trained.
Ever since he was young, he always wanted to be a protector just like she was.
