Cassian, wearing a controlled, amused smile, watched as Sher, her face flushed like a tomato, hurriedly changed into a fresh set of clothes. Cassian, having learned from a near-death experience where his clothes were ruined, always kept an extra set inside his spatial ring. His own clothes were dirty from the situation, and Sher's embarrassment was evident as her hands fumbled while dressing, trying to cover up her discomfort.
Seeing her struggle, Cassian couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for making her feel this way, especially with the tears welling up in her eyes. He spoke softly, "It happens, Commandant Sher. It's not a big deal. Stop feeling embarrassed."
His words finally broke her. A tear leaked from her eye as she looked at him with a mixture of frustration and blame. "I said stop... Why did you kept moving?" she asked, her eyes filled with silent reproach.
